Stop the Unnecessary Flow of Unnecessary People

The good news is illegal aliens are going home, the bad news is they are leaving because the US economy is in dire straits and they are the first to know.

You of course ask what it is I think drives the economy that the illegal recognizes so readily and we, “the average, middle-class American” do not see or choose to ignore. Simply put, it is housing, and what drives housing? Unfortunately, it is the only remaining real industry and is driven by the US Government’s (read us) open gate policy that allows more LEGAL immigrants into the country each year than any other country would sanely even consider. We have sustained our economy by growth despite any real need other than the political need to increase the tax base.

Consider parts of America (particularly parts of California and the South) with no reason for growth except to substantiate growth. There are no jobs except those that build houses and are created by the filling of those houses… and who is filling those houses? We are not making the babies necessary to substantiate the growth so it has to be the immigrants both legal and illegal.

When do we wake up to the fact that our elected government is killing our country by using the drug of growth to fuel our happiness?

Ecologists rally us to the plight of the forests yet the real villain is not the loggers but the houses we live in. Where we cut trees is actually increasing in wooded land whilst the south is in arrears due housing. The loggers must sustain forests whilst the developers have no reforestation plan, and what of the California developers who simply build on the desert? Again, why is this happening?

Wake up US and close your doors to a reasonable flow be it legal and/or illegal.
