Fix our immigration system to be sustainable
It is the government’s responsibility to set immigration levels. Current immigration levels are driving massive population growth and unemployment and need to be reduced.
Please return our immigration levels to traditional levels of 250,000/year, and consider suspending most immigration until our unemployment returns to “normal” levels. Also please end illegal migration through strict workplace enforcement. Pass a mandatory E-Verify bill and protect jobs for citizens and LEGAL immigrants.
Why is this important?
Yes, we are a nation of immigrants, but we need to reduce immigration to traditional levels so that it does not drive population growth and unemployment.
In the 1970’s, our population reached 200 million, and we wondered how we were going to preserve our environment. People started having fewer children, But the government drastically increased immigration (and ignored illegal migration) to the point where we are at 325 million. We’ll be at a half billion by mid century! Meanwhile we are running out of resources and trampling the environment. If we maintain our current immigration policy, our environment will be destroyed by overpopulation.
This excessive growth is also causing wage depression and outright unemployment. We have massive unemployment, yet we are importing workers faster than we are creating jobs. This makes no sense.
