Reply #58: We currently allow 2 million plus to enter legally each year...

Even that is more than we should be allowing if we care about natural resources. Did you know that the population of Atlanta is now using so much water that used to flow down the Apalachicola River that the Apalachicola estuary in Florida (one of the most varied and important in the world) is threatened??

My personal views on immigration are very much connected with what's happening with resources and the environment, but I have also seen first hand how citizens pick up the bill for this corporate welfare policy.

I think the best way to stop the flow of illegal immigrants is to fine employers and remove incentives such as education and healthcare. And in order to move toward zero population growth, U.S. families should pay tax penalties for having more than two children, instead of getting tax breaks for each child. I also believe in taxing people according to the resources they use, which would encourage the use of green technology.
