& SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS
—THE ONLY STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS—
BALANCE YEAR-END ALERT!
The next few weeks provide the Best
(& likely Last?!) Opportunity to Achieve U.S. Population Stabilization and
Sustainable Environmental Protection since BALANCE was founded 45 years ago,
However, thousands of activists led by BALANCE activists are needed to push
Congress to cooperate by implementing The Only Strategy for Success.
“Help me, Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying
words and the Deaths of Hundreds of others remind us of the importance of
intensifying our effort.
The Only Strategy is simple. Inform
your Representatives of The Facts and provide them with and push for The Solution described below. So first, The Facts:
The Economic Environment
— Legal Immigration is very costly—$330 Billion
per year NET (after taxes Immigrants
Pay) or $3.3Trillion for 10 years in Federal taxpayer Costs alone to support
the 1.5 Million Annual Legal Immigrant Flow! (J. Williams, CCN/Shadowstats.com).
We must reduce Legal Immigration to
Reduce the Deficit.
— A
substantial majority of Legal and Illegal Immigrants have low education levels.
The average newcomer from Central
America has less than an eighth grade education. And if 10 Million Illegals
alone were Amnestied, the NET cost to Taxpayers would be $1.29 TRILLION or about
$15,000 including State and Locals Costs for each and every Household in the
USA! (R. Rector—National Academy of Sciences, November 2016). This study also
found no evidence that low-skill workers are a net economic benefit.)
The Personal Safety Environment
— Over
90,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens were released into U.S. Communities in 2015
alone! (DHS data)into the relatively Safe (for them!) Environments of “Sanctuary Cities”!
“Help me,
Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying words impel all of us to redouble our efforts to
oppose Sanctuary Cities, Reduce Legal and Stop Illegal Immigration. The Boston
Bombers, San Bernardino Shooters and ISIS Truck Driver who ran down Pedestrians
and Cyclists in New York City recently were all Legal Immigrants!
The Employment Environment
— During
the Obama Years Immigrant Employment has risen 4.3 times faster than
Native-born employment, and large companies like Disney and Abbott Labs have
laid off American workers so they can hire cheaper foreign labor under the H1b
program, while typically requiring American workers to train their replacements
as a condition to receiving their Severance packages (Rubenstein, vDare.com)
The Natural Environment
— And the
USA's long-term sustainability is being seriously damaged by the Mass
Immigration of about 1.5 Million Legal and hundreds of thousands of Illegals
every year. We reiterate that for every person added to the U.S. Population,
one acre of Wildlife Habitat or Prime Farmland is converted to developed uses
(Pimentel et. al. Cornell)
— The USA
is paving the world's Breadbasket (i.e., the USA) at a rate of 39,000
square miles (25 Million Acres) every 15 years! Periodically Drought stricken
California alone receives 400,000 Legal Immigrants per year who consume an
ADDITIONAL Million Acre-feet of water per year, water that could be used for
water-short California Agriculture! And this inflow exacerbates California’s
housing, budget and transportation crises. Do the Major Urban Areas across the
USA really need increasing demand for
housing and more vehicles on the
roads?!
— Mass
Immigration constitutes about 90% of U.S. Population Growth, and since the
World's population increases by about 80 Million/Year the pressure to come to
the USA will only increase. We must stop
Mass Immigration to protect our environment long-term.
Legislation
The RAISE Act S354
(Cotton R-AR, Perdue R-GA) is a Good Bill
But contains Three Serious Flaws.
It would:
¾
Reduce
Legal Immigration by at least half to about 500,000 per year
¾
Require
that Legal Immigrants speak English
¾
Require
that Legal Immigrants NOT receive Welfare for 5 Years
¾
Limit
"Refugees" to 50,000 per year
¾
End
the Visa Lottery, and, above all…
¾
Reduce
Chain Migration from appx 480,000 per year to appx. 88,000 per year by limiting family- sponsored
Immigrants to spouses and minor children of US Citizens or Legal Permanent
Residents.
It is Seriously flawed because:
1) It would still allow over half a million Legal
Entrants annually and thus Validates a
continuation of Mass Immigration ad Infinitum—clearly Not Sustainable.
2) By adopting a piecemeal Multi-Category
approach is extremely vulnerable to Many Weakening Amendments
3) It fails to push an all-categories-included
150,000 CAP. BALANCE’s Push for a
Zero-Net Moratorium would not only impose such a CAP but it also maximizes
Political Pressure to get Reductions. The RAISE Act Fails this Test
And, one of the
RAISE Bill's alleged strong points, the Merits-based system for admitting
skilled workers (H1bs) is well-intentioned but would allow far too many
admissions. It is based on flawed data that American workers to not have the
necessary skills, it lends itself to “gaming”, and would result in continuing
job loss and wage depression among American workers.
¾
The
Bill also would allow admission of too many “Refugees” (what about addressing
the Needs of the USA’s hundreds of thousands of homeless first?) and allows H2b low skilled workers, many of whose
prospective jobs should either go to Americans or are, in any case,
disappearing because of automation.
THE MAJOR CHALLENGE
FOR THE RAISE ACT AND OTHER GOOD REDUCTIONIST BILLS IS THAT MOST OF THEIR
SUPPORTERS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE MUCH LESS A STRATEGY FOR ACTUALLY GETTING THEM
PASSED!
Indeed, ONLY ONE STRATEGY maximizes political pressure to achieve
dramatic Reductions in Immigration, including
the RAISE Act, ONLY BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies push this
Strategy—push a Zero-Net Moratorium
on Legal Immigration and bring Illegal Immigration to a Halt!
Pushing a Zero-Net Moratorium (which would still allow
Legal Immigration of 150,000 per Year because Immigration would then equal
Emigration) is key as an objective because it is reasonable and Essential for
long-term Environmental and Personal Protection and for providing Sufficient
Resources, INCLUDING WATER and FOOD and Money, for survival. Today, we are in
the process of exceeding our long-term Carrying Capacity.
In sum, a Zero-Net Moratorium is The Necessary Condition
for achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, long term Environmental
Protection, Budgetary Solvency in State and Local Government (especially for
our Health Care and Educational Institutions), Tax Reduction, Unemployment
Reduction, Social and Cultural Cohesion and Personal Safety ... and for
protection of our Food and Water Supplies!
Only our Massive Grassroots Effort
can Succeed! Phone Calls or Office Visits followed by Snail Mail letters are
most effective (emails are often ignored and fax machines can be turned off).
And please consider that BALANCE is greatly outspent by the Cheap Labor Lobby
and various Ethnic Power Lobbies.
So
Please Help BALANCE MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS to Intensify our push for the
aforementioned ASAP! Coalition Initiatives, TODAY, NOW!
BALANCE very much needs you to make
a Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY. Dollar for Dollar, Donations to BALANCE and
its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more Political
Clout than Donations to Mass Immigration Management Groups.
