Well It sure don't seem to do any good to vote against it. Congress does what it wants. So what do we do? Two choices as I see it. Revolt or move to BC with Preppy. I'm not affected much in Alaska with a population of 1 person per square mile. But less than half of that can be lived on and half of that would be exstreimly harsh living. Man yer borders Canada, Here I come.

Congress does what the people want if we really let them know. Just look at the vote this week... the people were heard.

That was actually the Senate. My Senator voted for amnisty. I won't vote for him in the next election even though he and I share the same party.

Both of my senators voted against amnesty. I will remind everyone who the amnesty senators were when they are up for election. I know its probably a dream but I want to see Trent Lott defeated in his next election. His arrogance on this issue is outrageous. I have his comments saved & plan to use them to remind the voters whenever I can. This amnesty bill was the worst bill I've ever seen come through the senate. Keep writing your reps & ask them this question.
WHERE'S THE FENCE?

Also impactful was the way he illustrated how massive immigration doesn't help us, or them.

Ok,here is some more food for thought.Say we do stop immigration and take it back to 175,000 per year.At the same time,as he said in his video,the other countries are growing at millions per year.How many years will it take before we become a small percentage of the world population?The way I see it,his video is more of a scare tactic to sway the people to stop immigration,but the real answer is to slow down re population of the entire earth.If you think about it,how long would it be before we were overrun by the billions of people who we try to keep out of our country?

Now dont get me wrong,I am not totally against his way of thinking,I just think it is a little over done.For example,the green on the chart never grew,only the red.Does that mean that everyone from the day he started his chart,stays an immigrant?Not hardly.Most of them will become citizens,so that would make the green area expand also.Still a bad thing though.


Lets put this in a different perspective.Say you have a private little neighborhood.It is a gated community,with guards,and the best defenses that are known to man.They lock the gates and say,ok we are full and nobody else can come in.They do everything right,grow their own crops,feed their people,give them medical attention and life is pure eden.
Now outside of this community people are multiplying like rabbits,in fact there are people starving to death by the minute because there is not enough food.How long do you think it would take before these billions of people would smash down the gates and ransack this community?

So,logic would dictate that we would be foolish to restrict our growth while the rest of the world is growing by leaps and bounds.I think the answer lies in educating all of the people in the world to realize that there is only so much fertile land that can produce food,and if we dont slow down the human race as a whole,then we are surely going to self destruct.

Ok,thanks Webmaster,you made me be serious for WAY too long!

But Congress did not vote on the Amnisty Bill. The Senate did.
