Maybe Immigration Freeze?<br /><br />Forget trying to import the best and the brightest. There is no non-discriminative way to stem the flow of low-skilled immigrants. An across-the-board freeze is the only PC palatable way to go. Stop stripping poor countries of their talented few. They need them more than we do. They should refocus their ambitions on developing the countries into which they were born. Meanwhile we have our work cut out for us here at home: assimilating and integrating the thirty-to-forty million immigrants we already have, almost all of whom grew up in societies with no democratic traditions. How long will that acculturation process take? I'd guess a couple of generations at least, at which point we can revisit the issue.<br /><br />Concentrating on illegal or low-skilled immigration alone is a political non-starter.

California would have a population of between 20-25 million. I believe the overall quality of life would be much higher. Black Americans would be better off as they wouldn't have been displaced by cheap labor. Or pushed out of the liquor stores in Los Angeles by harder working Koreans for example. I believe America would have far fewer of the social ills it now has with a population only about 70% as large. Why countries like England or the Netherlands, small and very densely populated, need immigration, particularly from such totally alien cultures and peoples, I will never understand.

The ecological footprint of illegal aliens residing in the US is far greater than in their native countries. And, as far as causes of human population growth go, migration ranks up there with agriculture and medicine. The environmentalists' well-documented backtrack on overpopulation in the last 30 years has reduced the anti-immigration camp to white conservatives who, in swoppely eyes, exude racism. Bill McKibben and Pat Buchanan may initially seem like strange bedfellows, but if you read McKibben's books (for example, *Eaarth**), the similarity of their talking points will astonish you. A Concord native, Mckibben spent his teens giving tours of American Revolutionary War sites, and he makes both a civilizational and ecological case for small government, small economy, and small population. It's true that he has abandoned overpopulation in his current 350 campaign, but he's defended population reduction in the past. I bet that, if the conservative party started making ecological noises, environmentalists like McKibben would enthusiastically welcome them and their anti-immigration position. <br /><br />If you don't believe me, check out an excellent recent collection of essays in "Life on the Brink: Environmentalists Confront Overpopulation" (Univ. Ga Press, December 2012). Cafaro and Crist put together an extraordinarily readable and well-referenced review of the math of overpopulation, its impacts, and "necessary conversation" we need to have about US immigration, for example. Two essays specifically lay out the environmental case for reducing US immigration. I'm a PhD student at one of the elite universities Sailer mentions in this Taki piece, and I've included some of these essays in a composition class I'm currently teaching to freshmen. They are on fire: outraged at their hometown school boards for not including demographics in high school curricula. Socially liberal per force, they nonetheless have completely changed their minds about immigration.<br /><br />If conservatives moved toward conservationism instead of liberalism, they could easily attract young, educated whites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-44643373514780989742013-02-27T12:27:14.689-08:002013-02-27T12:27:14.689-08:00From about 6 years ago: Ehrlich has 4 biological ...<a href="http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/postcivil_society_empty_the_cities/albionmyway.blogspot.com#c39896" rel="nofollow">From about 6 years ago</a>: Ehrlich has 4 biological children according to the Stanford student newspaper. Yeah, his disciples were occupying the pulpits of midwestern liberal protestant churches during the late 60s and early 70s telling the children of “The Greatest Generation” it was their duty to stop having children. I suspect only the top .1 percentile of IQ and intellectual integrity was unable to suppress their intellect with the desire to avoid being called “hicks”, so a huge swath of the “regression to the mean” population was exterminated by Ehrlich’s ZPG—now renamed PC (Population Connection). What a piece of work is Ehrlich.<br /><br />However, getting back to the point: I am an escapee from California. I did work with the Sierra Club there and lived right on the border with Mexico for 5 years of the 18 years I lived in California and watched it go to hell. There are other escapees. The problem is that one of the primary demographic groups escaping California for the hinterlands are Jews and fellow travellers who have a good con going: Go some place where there are a lot of whites who are afraid of being called hicks and then domineer them into destroying their environment while feeling so good about your affiliation with guys like George Soros, Moveon.org and Open Society Institute. These guys have money and motivation galore—as well as control of the local press. They are highly active in local politics and dominate the agenda of the schools and even “conservative” churches to the point that both go out of their way to import people from third world countries and parade the fact they are doing so around the area. The prime perps in this are usually elderly ladies who are shielded from reality by their real estate equity and who want the social accolades that go with sacrificing your grandchildren on the altar of Political Correctness (or the Population Connection if you’re an adherent of Ehrlich’s).<br /><br />What are people going to do? Go around shooting little old ladies?
