Americans can ignore reality for quite some time, but reality will not ignore them.

The recent PEW Report projected 138 million people added to the USA in 40 years.  We’ll add 100 million by 2035, a lightning bolt 27 years from now!  One in five “hyphenated-Americans” will be foreign born.

Dr. Otis Graham summed it up in his book: “Unguarded Gates: A History of America’s Immigration Crisis.”  He wrote, “Most Western elites continue urging the wealthy West not to stem the migrant tide, but to absorb our global brothers and sisters until their horrid ordeal has been endured and shared by all--ten billion humans packed onto an ecologically devastated planet by 2050.”

“My fellow Americans, your livelihoods, your security, your social harmony and yes, your very lives of you and your family stand in the crosshairs of the immigration issue,” Collins said. “A report just issued by the http://www.prb.org/bulletins/">Population Reference Bureau, ‘Managing Migration: The Global Challenge’ [click here shows how immigration has been raised to record levels—and may soon veer completely out of control.”  

Dr. Philip Martin, a professor at USC and editor of http://migration.ucdavis.edu/mn/">Migration News, presents a monthly summary of this issue.  His collaborating co-author is http://www.icmpd.org/dgsoffice.html">Gottfried Zurcher, director general of http://www.icmpd.org/whatisicmpd.html">International Center for Migration Policy Development in Vienna, Austria, an entity supported by 30 European governments to improve migration management. 

Their report begins by saying:  

"The number of international migrants is at an all-time high. There were 191 million migrants in 2005, which means that three percent of the world's people left their country of birth or citizenship for a year or more. The number of international migrants in industrialized countries more than doubled between 1985 and 2005, from almost 55 million to 120 million."  

The report acknowledges that "most of the world's 6.6 billion people never cross a national border; most live and die near their place of birth. Those who cross national borders usually move to nearby countries, for example, from Mexico to the United Statesclick here or from Turkey to Germany 

The report notes: "The United Nation's 1948 http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html">Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts that 'everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.' However, the right to emigrate does not give migrants a right to immigrate, and most migrants are not welcomed unconditionally into the countries to which they move."  

Collins said, “This PRB study pulls no punches: it names open borders advocates such as the Catholic Church, whose adherents are increasingly undereducated of the developing world, and the World Bank with excess populations to serve and the impossible mantra of perpetual growth as good for both sending and receiving countries.  

“The other side is also noted. In the US, the PB report cites specifically FAIR, which "argues that unskilled newcomers hurt low-skilled US workers, have negative environmental effects, and threaten established US cultural values." FAIR proposes that annual immigration levels must be set by need analysis—not greed paralysis.”
