I’m so sick of hearing that as the population ages we have to tolerate more and more immigration from the third world. Heck, that thinking is what is destroying Europe. And, I am sick of us being on the defense.
How about a national campaign to encourage young American couples to have more babies! Why not!
If you are my age, you know we college students were beaten over the head with the idea that we dare not over-populate the earth and we dutifully (many of us!) did what we were told, all the while, the whole system was geared for people with lower educations to have MORE babies (encouraged by the welfare system).
Let’s stop the madness. How about rewards for the well-educated to have large families! (Oh, I can hear the screaming and gnashing of teeth from the Left now!).
Maybe there is some (brave!) private foundation out there willing to promote such a campaign!

GOP debate: Glad immigration discussed, but Fox moderators very unprofessional
Update August 10: Looks like Fox failed and I’m laughing my head off! Here at Breitbart (Trump jumps in polls post debate!). I am so sick of the establishment and that includes Fox! See also Mark Steyn where I challenge you to get past the first paragraph without falling off your chair laughing.
Update August 9th: At Diana West, the best commentary I have seen on this sorry state of affairs, here.
I’m not going to say much here except that I was very glad to see the discussion of immigration elevated to the level it has reached in the GOP primary contest.
See my previous post on how Americans feel about more immigration.
Some of you may disagree…..
But, it was the Fox moderators themselves (especially Megyn Kelly) who caused me to turn the TV off halfway through last night’s Cleveland debate. They were so obviously doing the bidding of the RNC (Republican National Committee for our foreign readers) that I found it sickening to watch.
One or two gotcha-questions sprinkled throughout the night might have been interesting, but their confrontational and provocative performance from the opening salvo was over-the-top in my opinion. And, if they thought the blatant RNC-ploy of making candidates pledge that they would support the nominee whoever it was, was somehow a good idea, they blew it!
How many of you, may I ask, are going to support any every one of the seventeen that could be chosen in the end to represent the party? (LOL! I had to rewrite this!, in my haste I was not clear the first time. See commenter who took me to task!).
I found the earlier debate (without the moderator star-power of Kelly, Wallace and Baier) much more useful and informative.
24-country poll: Majority say immigration has had negative impact on their country
US Presidential candidates! Pay attention!
From IPSOS:
Toronto, Canada – A new Ipsos global poll finds that fully half (50%) of those citizens surveyed in 24 countries say there are too many immigrants in their country—and almost as many (46%) agree that immigration is causing their country to change in ways they don’t like.
Against a backdrop where 81% of citizens indicate that over the last five years migrants have increased in their country (and just 30% say immigrants make their country a more interesting place to live) only one in five (21%) citizens surveyed say immigration has had a positive impact on their country; only three in 10 (28%) say immigration has been good for their economy.
Further, half (50%) say immigration has placed too much pressure on public services in their country.
And almost half (45%) of global respondents believe immigrants have made it more difficult for their own people to get jobs in their country (and just 41% say priority should be given to immigrants with higher education and qualifications to fill shortages in professions.)
Here are the averages for each of the questions and the percentage of Americans feeling the same way (go have a look at your country!):
81% of citizens indicate that over the last five years migrants have increased in their country…
US 69%
Half (50%) say there are too many immigrants in their country…
US 49% (More education needed as not enough Americans know how high the numbers are!)
And almost as many (46%) agree that immigration is causing their country to change in ways they don’t like…
US 43% (This number doesn’t jive with the following areas in the survey. They must have asked it first!)
Only one in five (21%) say immigration has had a positive impact…
US 25% (So this means 75% of US respondents must be saying immigration has a negative impact!)
Only three in 10 (28%) say immigration has been good for the economy of their country…
US 30% (Tell Grover Norquist and the Koch Brothers!)
And half (50%) say immigration has placed too much pressure on public services in their country…
US 58%
Almost half (45%) say immigrants in their country have made it more difficult for their own people to get jobs…
US 48%
Four in 10 (41%) believe priority should be given to immigrants with higher education and qualifications to fill professions shortages…
US 35%
Only three in 10 (30%) say immigrants make their country a more interesting place to live…
US 41%
Go here for lots more numbers! Fascinating stuff!
The politicians in places like Italy, France, Germany and Belgium better darn well pay attention! And, LOL! I laughed to see that the Saudis, the Chinese and the Japanese weren’t particularly stressed by immigration—-of course not! They hardly take in any immigrants!
New book out in the Civilization Jihad Readers Series at Secure Freedom
Since I am headed to Texas early tomorrow, I have no time to do this justice, but investigative journalist James Simpson has taken what I began in my little book Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America and gone even deeper into the complex web of elitist foundations, government agencies and Leftwing organizations driving mass immigration and the colonization of America.
It’s titled:
The Red-Green Axis: Refugees, Immigration and the Agenda to Erase America (Civilization Jihad Reader Series Book 4)
You can get it here at Amazon!
US immigrant population reaches record level
I was looking for something else and came across this informative article at the Migration Policy Institute (MPI). I’ve written critically, here in 2011, about MPI which advances an Open borders agenda sandwiched between articles like this one entitled: ‘Frequently Requested Statistics on Immigrants and Immigration in the United States.’ I assume their statistics are accurate. Check it out!
Building the Democratic Party voter base!
Table 1: Numerical Size and Share of the Foreign-Born Population in the United States, 1970-2013
They have another report with just Refugee and Asylee data updated last year, here.
