During the freezing event in Texas last week, what a mess! At only 29 million people, Texas expects to reach 54 million by 2050. Where are those numbers coming from? Answer: immigration. That's just the legal immigration! (Source: Texas' population is projected to double by 2050, according to a report from Texas' Office of the State Demographer. According to the report, Texas' population, currently estimated to be 26,230,098 residents, will grow to 54,446,355 residents by 2050.)
What happens when another 25 million people need electricity in another ice storm in Texas? What happens when oil is depleted to the point that we cannot transport food to grocery stores? You may read at least a dozen books on the exhaustion of oil by mid-century.
By 2050, Congress will have added 100 million more legal and illegal immigrants to America. What do you think jumping from 330 million to 440 million will look like? How does that taste? How does it feel for your children? What don't you understand as to the consequences to our civilization? To your family members?

Since North America features a finite land mass, it also offers a finite water supply, finite energy and finite resources. What happens when those resources are exhausted? What do you do when the water tap runs dry or there's no gas for your tank or you cannot buy a battery because the lead, nickel, rubber, metal and other parts of the battery cannot be accessed?
How will 100 million more people solve that environmental nightmare galloping across the globe: catastrophic climate destabilization?
That's what Marion meant when he said, "No dramatic wave of destruction sweeping across the world, just scattered spots of rot forming throughout the decades, seemingly isolated incidents until the moment they all merged."
Does what you just read scare the heck out of you for your children? If it does, what are you doing about it?
I present a program that should be seen on every PBS, NPR and 60 Minutes broadcast: America's Overpopulation Predicament: and how to change course. It should be seen by a joint session of Congress. It needs to be seen by every American citizen. We need to be educated as to what we are doing to ourselves.
