Ed
Rubenstein, writing at vDare.com, wisely asks: “… about the impact of second
generation immigrants—U.S. born persons with at least one immigrant parent?
They accounted for 8 per cent of the total working age population in 2012,
according to the same Pew Research Center study. At 15.5 million, they were
nearly half as large as the foreign-born population itself, because immigrants
on average have a higher fertility rate than the native born population.
Moreover,
no longer do many men come alone to find work. In FY2015 44,524
Illegal Family Units were caught crossing the Border, compared to 39,838
apprehended last year. (Dept. of Homeland Security)
If current
Mass Legal and Illegal Immigration Trends continue, by 2050 41.4% of the USA’s
working age population will be of very recent
immigrant stock (Pew Research study).
The
traditional white and black populations of the United States are being
overwhelmed by newcomers who may, or may not, wish to assimilate into US
customs, values, and business culture If
current Mass Legal and Illegal Immigration Trends continue, by 2050 41.4% of the USAs working age population will be of
very recent immigrant stock (Pew
Research study). Including the school
age and younger US population, more than 50% will be the descendants of recent
decades’ immigrants.
A
conservative estimate is that, by 2050
the number of second generation immigrants will triple, to 46.4 million.
Between 2012 and 2050, second-generation immigrants will account for more than
half the growth in U.S. working-age population.

If Borjas’s
native wage loss rule applies, the descendants of 1965’s Historical American
Nation will face a reduction in wages due to the presence of 1st and 2nd
generation immigrants of 14.5% in 2050, up from the 8.1% loss imposed by 1st
generation immigrants only that year.

Note
especially that, since approximately 2000, MORE than 100% of all new jobs were
captured by immigrants. The number of employed Americans was actually down,
despite the increase in total employment!!
Regarding
Demographic Impact the "Bankers' Rule of 72s" comes to mind like a
Thunderbolt.
As you
know, that Rule states that the Doubling Time of any Number is the number 72
divided by the annual percent increase.
Thus a 2% annual increase doubles the number in 36 years, and a 7% rate
doubles in appx ten years.
Thus the
"Replacement level" fertility rate of a population is 2.1 children
per woman (the .1 accounts for child mortality etc.) assuming there is NO
Immigration.
While the
fertility rates of native-born American women are now below 2, Immigrant
fertility rates are much, much higher for nearly every Immigrant group . Thus
the USA’s demographic track is projected to be One Billion by 2075 (see
BALANCEs website, balance.org).
Worse,
Fertility and Immigrant increase rates which are above 2.1 births per woman create, exponentially, a
Demographic Momentum which is very difficult to stop. (This Reality the
Communist Mao understood when he instituted the One Child per Family rule for
China decades ago — yet Demographic Momentum has kept China growing!... Yes, a
growing population usually generates a growing GDP, but almost always causes a
reduced PER CAPITA GDP — the True test of the Wealth of a Nation.)
Thus, if
the USA does not change course very soon, our Social and Political Cohesion
will be lost as everyone will be a minority group competing with other minority
groups for an increasing piece of the Jobs, Resources and Political Power
"PIE". And of course the
Environment will increasingly suffer as more precious Natural Habitat and
Agricultural land will be developed [lost to natural or food-producing uses],
and water and infrastructure resources will be increasingly stressed
And what
about the Cultural Environment?
We already
see accelerating disunity via the Sharia Law enclaves in Europe and the USA,
and in the "California is in Mexico" signs at political gatherings.
And we see
accelerating crime rates: Indeed, the Obama Administration/ICE released 30,558
Convicted Criminal Aliens into American Cities in Fiscal Year 2014 alone!!
(cis.org)
The GOOD
NEWS re. the USA, is that today more Americans than ever perceive the danger
and so we have one last chance to reverse course. If we work very hard starting NOW to achieve
zero-net Immigration (which would still allow appx. 150, 000 Immigrants per
year).
BALANCE has
a REAL SOLUTION:
BALANCE
needs your help NOW to implement our 2016-2017 Victory Initiative Action Plan
and to STOP the worsening Crisis! Encourage your Representatives to enact:
1)
THE ONLY SOLUTION: A Zero-Net
All-Inclusive, i.e., including “Refugees” and “Aslyees”, MORATORIUM on
Legal Immigration: this would still allow 100,000 to 150,000 thousand
Immigrants to obtain legal residence annually. That number — still large —
compares with an estimated 1.5 million or more aliens now admitted legally to
the USA annually, in addition to the uncertain number of illegal aliens. A
Zero-Net Moratorium is Essential not only because of the extraordinary costs to
Taxpayers saddled with providing Billions of Dollars’ worth of “Free” benefits
to most of the legal immigrants and illegal aliens, but also to protect our
Natural Environment from Degradation and unsustainable resource use.
Drastically Reduce or eliminate H1b and related programs that bring workers and
their families into the U.S., taking more American jobs and further depressing
wages, and increasing Green House Gas Emissions.
Thus
the Reps. Brat (R-VA) and Hice (R-GA) Bill, H.R. 604, which would end Chain
Migration and augment Enforcement, is definitely a step in the Right Direction,
as is the Refugee Program Restoration Act (HR4731-Goodlatt R-VA) which would
reduce the refugee cap to 60,000 annually, but we really do need a Moratorium!
BALANCE
supports other excellent Bills as well:
S.2266
Grassley (R-Iowa) Durbin (D-Ill) would prohibit replacement of American Workers
by H1B or L-1 Visa Holders and prohibit more H1b visas if more than 50% of
their workers are already on these Visas. And the “Protection of Children” Act
(S.2561 — Sessions R-Ala and Johnson R-Wisc) would return children to their
families in their Home Countries, but pushing a Moratorium is priority #1.
2)
No More Amnesties or Sanctuary Cities:
Amnesties reward Illegal Behavior with increasingly Tragic Consequences.
“Sanctuary City” laws are de facto Amnesties and should be defunded and
outlawed. Support “Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act”, H.R. 3002 – Rep.
Barletta (R-PA) and “Enforce the Law for Sanctuary Cities Act”, H.R. 3309 –
Rep. Hunter (R-CA) and H.R. 1148 – Gowdy (R-SC) which would empower local law
enforcement to enforce Federal Immigration laws, as well as companion bills in
the Senate authored by Senators Toomey and Cruz. Were it not for Sanctuary City
laws and Open Borders policies, those many victims murdered or injured by
Illegal Aliens in San Francisco, San Antonio, Las Vegas, New Jersey, Arizona,
Laredo, Texas and elsewhere might be alive and well today.
For
those who say it is already “too late” to save America, we respond that, UNLESS
WE ACT NOW the Situation will become Worse, MUCH WORSE. IF we do not succeed, a
“Third World Hell Hole” is surely in our Future. The Paris and San Bernadino
Massacres are a Warning!
3)
Enforce Immigration Laws — Secure the
Borders: Existing laws relating to Legal Immigration and Border Security
are not being enforced, primarily because of the Obama Administration's
Unconstitutional Executive Orders, including tying the hands of our Border
Patrol, as Arizona Sheriff Babeu has documented.
4)
No Citizenship for the US-born Offspring
of Illegal Aliens or Visitors: “Birth Tourism” has become a flourishing
Industry in the USA, and, understandably so, since babies born in the USA are
deemed (based on a judicial misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment) to be
Citizens. As Citizens, they can bring their parents and other relatives into
the USA as permanent legal residents — on average, seventeen relatives per
Anchor Baby — eligible for Citizenship, as well as Billions in “free” Medical
Care, Education, Welfare payments, Food Stamps and other taxpayer funded
benefits.
5) STOP the TPP and TTIP TRADE DEALS! The
TPP would not only require “free movement of persons” among member nations (of
which Mexico is one), but also establish an International Commission which
could Negate/Override the power of the USA to set its own immigration policy.
As well, Service Providing Companies in ANY of the Member Nations could send
into the USA unlimited numbers of their service providing personnel to compete
with American workers, thus depressing American workers wages and eliminating
many of their jobs. The Job-Killing TPP and TTIP must be stopped!
The ONLY
Solution to keeping the Mass Immigration-generated Crises from getting much,
much worse is to push the Administration and Congress to enact a Zero-Net
MORATORIUM on Legal Immigration and seal the Borders to stop Illegal
Immigration. Eisenhower Administration policies showed that many illegal aliens
self-deport when authorities get tougher, as President Eisenhower did when he
deported nearly 2 Million Illegals in the 1950s. Thus the claim that Mass
Deportation or Mass Legalization are the only options is a false narrative. And
we must push NOW so that we can generate increasing support for Bills to be
enacted ASAP, but realistically no later than when a New President is in office
in the Spring, 2017.
From a
Political-Strategic Perspective, pushing a Zero-Net Moratorium is the ONLY WAY
to delegitimize the whole Policy of Mass Immigration. Also, pushing a Moratorium
is Essential to maximize Political Pressure to get some Reductions at least.
BALANCE’s Moratorium Push MAXIMIZES Political Pressure NOW and thus is the most
efficient use of our Activists’ time and money.
Refusing to
push a Moratorium (as certain Inside-the-Beltway and other Mass Immigration [de
facto] Management Groups do), is a Recipe for Failure as the past three decades
have shown, since that is merely Defensive, as well as Ineffective.
Such a
Refusal is, indeed, Counterproductive — merely pushing for “immigration
reform,” legitimizes the continuation of Mass Immigration because it sends the
message that Mass Immigration is OK if we just tweak it a little bit. And it is
even worse to push for “Controlled Immigration for the National Interest” or
for the two-decades old Jordan Commission Recommendation that Immigration be
cut by a third, because that sends the message that Mass Immigration IS in the
National Interest. Pushing to merely cut Mass Immigration by a third or a half
is a failed Political, Demographic, and Security Strategy.
And a cut
by a third or even a half does NOT put the USA on the path to Sustainability.
Rather, it just delays the Inevitable Disintegration and Degradation for a very
few years. As well, being merely Defensive increases the chances of passage of
Bad Bills, e.g., Illegal Alien Amnesties, and the Issuance of Unconstitutional
Executive Orders.
Pushing a
Zero-Net Moratorium 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. We must
Reverse Course NOW!
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!
Mass
Immigration is thus NOT “Just about the Numbers” as one Management Group
claims. WE ARE FACING A MANY-MONTHS-LONG SERIES OF BATTLES ON THESE ISSUES,
extending well into 2017. So PLEASE Help BALANCE Intensify our push for a
Zero-Net Moratorium and the other Victory Initiative Positions!
Certain
Well-Funded Cheap Labor Advocates on the Right, and Ethnic Power and Government
Benefits Recipients on the Left, are pushing hard for further implementation of
President Obama's Mass Illegal Alien Amnesty, AND FOR MASSIVE INCREASES IN
LEGAL IMMIGRATION, including Refugees and Asylees!
Only our
Massive Grassroots Effort can stop them! 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!
