STOP
Environmental Damage from
Mass Legal & Illegal Immigration
and
THE IMMEDIATE THREAT!
-Mass Alien Amnesty Threatens National Security and Public Safety, Budgetary, and Employment and Natural Environments. Help stop it! A DEAL for a Mass Alien Amnesty pushed by the Open Borders Crowd for passage BEFORE the Inauguration is THE IMMEDIATE THREAT !! see below
First Consider: Intensifying Threats to our Personal Safety Environment
The preventable Death of Laken Riley and many others including those killed by Fentanyl, and the victims of child abuse and Gang attacks all over the USA are typical and alas increasing
BALANCE has documented and warned about the many negative impacts of Mass Immigration for many months
And today we provide an excellent summary of the specific negative impacts along the Texas Border, in New England and around the USA as well as the Negative Impacts of Mass LEGAL Immigration
Mass Legal & Illegal Immigration is bringing Disease into the USA
"Since Biden/Harris took office, over 8.5 million immigrants have been encountered at the nation’s borders, with an additional estimated 1.8 million ‘gotaways’ evading Customs and Border Protection. The Texas border comprises almost half of the entire U.S.-Mexico border, stretching 1,254 miles across four Mexican states. Millions of immigrants have entered the country through one of Texas’ five Border Patrol sectors. As a result, the Lone Star state’s diverse environment, divided into ten ecoregions, has gradually transformed into a dumping ground for immigrants’ waste.
In 2021, the Bureau of Land Management released data estimating that each immigrant leaves behind 6 to 8 pounds of garbage at the southern border. With illegal immigration on the rise, the levels of environmental degradation are expected to increase. Currently, millions of pounds of garbage litter the southern border, posing a significant threat to wildlife.
Texas ranchers, law enforcement, and lawmakers are exasperated with the state of their border. Aerial drone footage vividly illustrates how uncontrolled illegal immigration can rapidly transform desert landscapes into wastelands strewn with feces, discarded clothing, food, chemicals, drug paraphernalia, and even abandoned vehicles. Currently, migrants breaching Texas’ razor wire have developed a habit of using clothing and trash to pad themselves against the barrier. Once through, they abandon their belongings. Some of these garbage heaps have grown so large that they have earned nicknames, such as “The Mattress,” located just outside of Brownsville, Texas.
And Mass LEGAL Immigration us resulting our Hospitals increasingly caring for Legal Immigrants making it more difficult for citizens to be treated
And in some areas like California increasingly large numbers of migrants coupled with the numbers of Citizens has created a lack of sufficient potable water supplies
Consequently, some counties in California have resorted to water supplies which are TOILET TO TAP, in which treated sewage water is put back into the fresh water distribution system!!
And the burgeoning population caused by Mass Immigration has resulted in the paving over of topsoil which forever prevents it from being farmed or used as habitat for endangered species such as certain species of butterflies
And in New England Equine and other diseases have resulted from Massive Numbers of migrants
Finally Legal and Illegal Immigrant households make extensive use of WELFARE including care for disease to a far greater extent than U.S. Born
Only 39% of U.S. born make use of expensive welfare programs whereas 525 of legal Immigrant headed households use these programs and 59% of Illegal Immigrant headed households use such programs!!! - CIS.ORG
And consider other Negative Environmental Impact of Mass Legal Immigration
- Stabilizing or reducing population size in industrialized nations is essential for achieving sustained Carbon Emissions Reductions and Environmental Protection!!
Birth rates in industrialized western nations are below replacement level in both the U.S. and Europe. In the United States, the population still grows, however, because of continuing high levels of legal & illegal immigration. Moreover, most immigrants are Economic Migrants and come in order to raise their standard of living, which means raising their personal rate of carbon emissions. The only way to reduce carbon emissions permanently is to limit immigration.
The goal must be ZERO NET immigration into the United States i e. reducing Legal from about 1.5 Million /year pre-pandemic to 150,000/year AND stopping virtually all illegal immigration That would allow the USA to stabilize its population
Zero Net
Immigration is also essential to curing a host of other environmental
problems: Crowding, Housing shortage, Topsoil loss, Endangered
--Understanding
the pressure of growing populations on the environment’s carrying
capacity is essential for developing sustainable solutions. For
example, Professor Pimentel et al. (Cornell University) found that
for every person added to the United States’ population, one acre
of farmland (precious topsoil) or natural habitat (for the critters)
was lost, de facto permanently, to development.
ONLY
pushing BALANCE's all-categories-in zero Net MORATORIUM on Legal
Immigration (which would still allow appx. 150,000 legal
immigrants/year) plus closing the Border MAXIMIZES the chances of
stopping the Horrendous Alien Amnesty Bill which is THE IMMEDIATE
THREAT
Pushing
any less restrictive number, as the two National Mass Immigration
Management Groups do, will likely result in a Compromise Bill
reducing the numbers by just a few hundred thousand at most..... a
totally unacceptable result.
indeed,
those two National Mass Immigration Management groups refuse to
support any Moratorium Bill (like Rep. Gosar's e.g.)
Incredibly,
one of these Nonprofits actually advocates "Better Immigration"
as its First Priority NOT reduced Immigration!!!!!!!
THEY ARE
DE FACTO ENABLERS OF CONTINUING MASS IMMIGRATION!!
In
that connection, the House has re-introduced, without an open hearing
or meaningful debate during the lame duck session, the 2021 bill,
called the Equal Access to Green Cards for Legal Employment (EAGLE)
Act of 2022, H.R.3648., and its provisions are expected to be added
on to the Mass Alien Amnesty bill.
The EAGLE
Act was drafted to benefit and reward the tech companies that have
relied on lower-paid (and usually lower-skilled) visa workers to
replace U.S. workers over the last 10-15 years.
The bill
contains two main provisions. The first would scrap the so-called
“per-country cap”. In order to preserve some semblance of
diversity in our immigration, current law imposes a flexible cap on
green cards, so that no country can get more than 7 percent of them,
until all the current applications are approved, and then the
leftovers go to people who have been waiting the longest. If the
per-country cap were to be eliminated, then for at least the next 10
years,
The
second provision of the EAGLE Act that the tech companies have
lobbied for allows all those who get a temporary visa and are
sponsored for a green card by their employer to get a permanent work
permit within two years after they apply, regardless of the annual
caps on green cards. This is a terrible idea because the temporary
work visa programs are so flawed and dysfunctional. We should not
just be converting all of them to permanent work permits after two
years. This is a gimmick to negate the annual caps that Congress has
put on employment green cards to protect jobs for U.S. workers.
In
effect both of these provisions depress wages and employment
opportunities for Americans
In
sum: That Tillis/Sinema/Crapo/ Lofgren et.al. Bill aka the
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill AKA THE IMMEDIATE THREAT
that would provide
Illegals
with green cards and a path to citizenship, but ALSO remove many
of the caps on legal immigration resulting in a dramatic
increase/doubling of the pre-pandemic level of 1.5 Million per year.
The costs to taxpayers (pre-pandemic $758 million per year NET of
taxes immigrants pay) per Congressional district for legal
immigration alone (CCN study), would be immense, not to mention the
increased child trafficking, drug running and increased Cartel power,
the legalization of the Illegals would increasingly facilitate
--In sum:
THE DEAL which is THE IMMEDIATE THREAT now being drafted by the Open
Borders Crowd would agree to close the border, finish the wall etc.
in return for enacting the Mass Alien Amnesty of 35 Million
plus illegals already in the USA plus recent Illegal migrants (via
the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill) with provisions which
would allow continued, very generous Legal Immigration numbers likely
in excess of 1.5 Million/year with all those immigrants having the
benefits of citizens
URGENT:
Contact your U.S. Representatives and Senators repeatedly and urge
them to oppose any Bill which contains ANY Amnesty Bill provisions,
or any increase in legal immigration, and to support a zero-net
Moratorium Bill on Legal Immigration and closing the Border
