Florida drilled so many wells; they suffer sink holes up and down the peninsula. Yet, they keep building homes and malls. Dumb and dumber! They expect to grow from 18 million to 36 million in less than 40 years.

Colorado Public Radio announced on Monday, 12/1/09, that Colorado faces grave water shortages in the coming decades. We can expect an 11.5 billion gallon annual shortfall. With predicted population growth of five to six million by mid century, (Source: Fogel/Martin "US Population Projections") Colorado cannot and will not be able to maintain water supplies for humans let alone animals and crops. Mark Koebrich at Channel 9, Denver, NBC News, announced that Denver expects to add two million residents in the coming years.

While Colorado adds 100,000 new residents annually, net gain, America's overpopulation poster-child State of California adds 1,700 people net gain daily on their way to adding 20 million in 30 years! They add 400 vehicles 24/7! Where do those millions come from? They flee other overpopulated countries from around the globe. Immigration fuels 90 percent of California's population growth.

The Colorado River water provides "dry-as-a-bone" states like Arizona, Nevada and California with water that won't materialize with their population growth in the near future.

That's like a 400 pound obese man suffering from heart disease being told to go on a diet, but all he does is let out four more notches on his belt!

Ironically, National Public Radio will report on the consequences of overpopulation, but they NEVER mention the root cause. Why not? What for? How come?

Since the American female averaged 2.03 children since 1970, our own citizens do not cause population growth, so what does? How did we add 100 million people in the past 40 years?

Simple: legal and illegal immigration, including their offspring.

How will we add the expected 100 million by 2035, which equals 25 years from now? Again, immigration!

S+R=O: Situation plus response=outcome

Cause and effect equal results. If we keep adding population, we cannot keep expanding our finite resources such as water, energy and space. Thus, everything you read about occurring around the world such as starvation and poverty will, at some point, manifest in the United States. No way around it!

As a civilization, we cannot escape S+R=O or cause and effect equals result.

Do we think we can escape our growing consequences? Apparently! Every governor and businessman in this country advocates growth. Our U.S. Congress injects 2.5 million more people into the USA annually from a line of people growing by 77 million annually worldwide. Americans project from "past' emotional paradigm that "immigration' built this country.

In a five minute astoundingly simple yet brilliant video, "Immigration, Poverty, and Gum balls", Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG , graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes to see for yourself:
