America's Ecological Future Will Be Determined by
Immigration Choices We Make Today April 22, 2008 FAIR (Washington DC ) As Americans commemorate Earth Day on April 22, the country's ecology and resource base continue to be imperiled by mass immigration. More than any other factor, population growth in the United States is adding to the stress on our environment, and nearly all of the nation's projected population growth over the next 40 years will be a direct result of current and future immigration. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, U.S. population has grown by more than 100 million people, driven by ever increasing levels of immigration. The Census Bureau projects that our current population of just over 300 million will increase to about 435 million by 2050, exacerbating many of the resource and environmental crises we face in this country. "It is unrealistic to believe that we can address issues like pollution, urban sprawl, and the depletion of water and other vital resources, while continuing on the population path we have been on over the past several decades," said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. FAIR was founded in 1979 to address concerns about the role of immigration in U.S. population growth. On Earth Day 2008, the organization is renewing its call for a rollback of excessive immigration to the United States and a thoughtful consideration of how these policies will affect the long-term environmental health and security of the nation. "Unless government acts to alleviate the pressure for ever-increasing levels of immigration, Americans will face a future that holds worsening environmental conditions, dwindling resources, and greater dependence on foreign energy sources. This was not the sort of future envisioned by people like the late Senator Gaylord Nelson who initiated the Earth Day celebration," Stein said. "As we observe Earth Day, we call upon our nation's leaders to get off the immigration and population growth spiral that can only lead to further environmental degradation." About FAIR Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country's largest and oldest immigration reform group. With over 250,000 members nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests. FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.

It just goes to prove that using Oklahoma as a good indicator, that once that an untainted legislator enacts strict laws against pariah employers. That not only will the percentage of unemployment drop, but also they are saving massive revenues throughout the whole state. It makes logical sense that when illegal immigrants and family members choose to flee states, such as Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona and others with disrupting employers sanctions. US citizens and legal residence no longer have to compete for jobs. President Bush's old adage, "that Americans won't do...?" is far from the truth. You only have to read the articles of arrests around the country. Such as a illegal aliens, working in a shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, earning $28.00 an hour.
The fact that anti-illegal immigrant states is gaining ground, against the usual suspects like big business, organized religion and a host of other radical special interest organizations, means we can win this war of American survival.
The conclusion is we must raise the stakes against the very well bankrolled, special interest lobby. In the Congress right now pending is the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088). It must be enacted before the new president enters the White House. Already leading Democrats are trying to erode it's enforcement power, as they are also trying to gut the border fence funding.
However, overall their is a bipartisan effort of commitment by the majority of Republicans to bring the SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) to a vote.
State enforcement laws are working very will, but a Federal law is all encompassing and can reduce the illegal alien occupation of our nation by ATTRITION or self-deportation. Once the spigot of jobs is cut off than the foreign nationals will leave or suffer the consequences when caught. This will include very heavy fines and imprisonment for parasite employers. The hierarchy of Democrats are trying to confuse the issue, stating it will cost $30 billion dollars, but the Hudson Institute says the Federal government is already spending $345 billion dollars a year subsidizing these illegal low wage earners. It is estimated that every American taxpayer paid more than $9,000 for each immigrant in the country, a third of whom are believed to be in the U.S. illegally.
Many will arrive in California, Maryland, Illinois were there are sanctuary cities, with heavy repercussions on taxpayers. There schools will become even more overcrowded and they will have to hire even more teachers. Arizona can now breathe a sigh of relief as their children will start to receive a good wholesome education once again. As in other malleable immigration states the predator employers, will feed off the taxpayer like parasites they are.They don't like having to provide worker's compensation insurance, nor do they have to provide health insurance. they don't like having to pay the same wages as comparable U.S. workers. They don't like having to provide the laborer with an earnings statement detailing the worker's total earnings, the hours of work offered and the hours actually worked.
