I wish i could think of something positive to say. But living in an already crowded part of the country, i only have very negative things to say. Blech.

Maybe in 10 years time will be so packed to the gills, they'll have to adopty china like policies. IE, 1 kid per family, more requires govermental permission.

More people = more taxpayers. Maybe if enough people pay taxes, we can start to pay less.

More people, more cars, more traffic jams, more *******s to put up with, less housing, higher housing rates, longer lines at the stores, resturants, etc. more more more of everything. BLAH. If i wasnt living in a crowded, overpriced place, where people CONTINUE to move to, every year, making it worse and worse as time goes on, i probably wouldnt have such an assinine view of it.

Wrong! Not enough work to go around here. It will just mean that a bunch more people will be on welfare and the ones who work will be paying for it all.


Some people in the US seem to think money grows on trees.

Actually its like this. More people - more crap, More Disease and less food and other resources that are necessary to survive.

And here is a another fact. The population doubles every 22 years but that was 30 years ago. As the world population expands it does so GEOMETRICALLY not ARITHMETHCIALLY.

For those that don't understand that concept don't worry. All it means is that we will double in population faster and faster over time.

Landmines = $3 per AP mine

$1,000,000,000 (approximate amount of $ to be spent on border LE this year) / 3 = Approximately 3,333,333,333 landmines.

Sounds alot easier to me to just go that route and be done with it. Then We'll add punji pits to the equation.

Maybe, just maybe, people will actually immigrate legally after we start doing that.

Or dig a tunnel. Can't fix it until they declare open season on illegal immigrants.

I can only imagine the indigenous people in North America having the same conversation 4 or 5 centuries ago.

From what i've read they did, except they included in the discussion not only the Europeans and Mexicans and Asians, but the tribe in the next valley as well.

Of course what we call "indigenous peoples" are in reality the latest of several successive waves of imigrants to these shores...
