who might normally argue that there are more important things than economics, reflexively justify our open gates with the rejoinder that it "grows our economy." I love it.
I know I can't even get libs anymore to care much about conservation, but we're on pace to have 1 billion, that's "billion," people here by the end of the century. That's environmentally unsustainable if we factor in quality of life. A bulk of these immigrants will be in California and the Southwest, where water is already becoming scarce. Would you be willing to set aside the economic nonsense and instead be patriotic in asserting that we can't take in human beings as we have because future generations will be saddled with a wholly unsustainable situation?
Bringing hundreds of millions more people here isn't a good idea, conor, and you know that at some level.
