I'm getting a bit tired of the confusion seemingly expressed by some Westernized countries whenever a pile of immigrants comes marching towards their preciously developed nation. Call it what you want: 'illegal immigration', 'war torn refugees, 'seeking new opportunities'--it all comes down to the same damn thing: the global population reached four billion in 1974, five billion in 1987, six billion in 1999 and, according to the United States Census Bureau, seven billion in 2012.
Is it too hard to comprehend, that people are going to need to go somewhere? Any place better? As resources run short and folks fight for their share--wars will increase, opportunities dwindle, land will run out and water disappear. Duh. Ask any SUBURBAN SQUIRREL what their life is like!
People poo-pooed all the overpopulation speculation of the mid-century, because they couldn't visualize what it would look like--well this is what it looks like folks. And someone as bat-shit crazy as Trump thinks the solution is to seal up our borders and reduce economic opportunities in foreign lands. No matter what you do--for millions of years, when resources run out--humans have migrated--that's what happens!! Ask any common cockroach --as they do it too--it's in our DNA and how we have survived through vast periods of climate change and dissolving resources in the past.
And the conservative white men keep scratching their balding little heads, wondering why any of this is going on. Oh wait--not sure they are wondering--they just know they don't like it. So they will keep on erecting larger fences and cutting funds to Planned Parenthood International, as this they like to do! Because in their tiny minds, apparently every unwanted and unplanned child has the right to be born and live in abject poverty--as long as they don't try to come over to 'my country'.
