Then the answer to the question asked in the first sentence is immigration — both legal and illegal. In fact, according to both the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Pew Hispanic Center, new immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 75 to 80 percent of our annual population growth.

Note to Dems: High immigration population equals lower GDP
Back in 2010, when the investing community was still eager about the emerging economies, there was the BRIC ETF you could buy (still can), which represented a basket of investible companies in Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The theory was that with the former two, natural resources would be pillaged in low-regulation environments, and the latter two had to do with an economic growth model being inextricably linked to booming populations.
The theory was that the two production economies of Brazil and Russia, mainly oil, would be balanced out by two emerging consumption economies. The problem was that shortly thereafter, the government of Brazil took possession of Petrobras in a thuggish move, and investors got scared of these economies of socialist and oligarchic fiat (read: Venezuela). In addition, the price of oil eventually dropped as U.S. production ramped up and an oil glut kept prices eternally low.
So all the ETF had at that point was India and China, the two behemoth nations in terms of robust breeding and the emerging consumer story. But that theory has not born out. What we are instead seeing is that human population growth stories are not automatically investible winners. Not anymore. Technology and automation are increasingly making dense population countries unstable, as low-skilled manual jobs are not as necessary as they once were. China is more worried about pacifying an open revolt if its 1.4 billion people ever get hungry enough to engage in another Tiananmen Square demonstration, where easily over 10,000 people were slaughtered. And India can't seem to get out of its own clumsy way long enough to make any traction with its GDP – partially because it is addicted to smothering regulations, but also, it has so much exposure to cultural poverty due to its inundated population zones without concomitant employment.
Population growth stories are supposedly consumption-based economic models but instead are saddled with relatively higher welfare demands placed on the subject countries in order to pacify the poverty. Consumption does not produce prosperity any more than eating a dozen Krispy Kremes produces a handsome physique. Effort is required for that. Production is required for wealth creation. Consumption means only that subsistence is reached. Nothing more. And no real wealth accrued beyond subsistence.
And yet, here at home, we have Democrats who preach that we need more immigrants and refugees for our economic growth. What planet are they living on? Okay: We know they are being their usual disingenuous selves and that they want foreign mercenaries hired by welfare to vote for them, but their base buys the low-information agit-prop as if it were something that should be taught in college.
No, wait – maybe it actually is.
Consumption-based economies are all the rage in Democrat circles. "Supply-siders," aka production economies, that require investment (read: tax cuts) are all about those evil Republicans. To the left, you don't need capital accumulation or savings to produce growth. All you need is government handouts.
What we are seeing is that further immigration into the U.S. from Mexico is creating greater drains on our welfare rolls as well as infrastructure, our schools, and our emergency rooms and hospitals. It also removes low-skilled jobs from American citizens. Citizens then go out and apply for unemployment insurance because they can't find employment due to illegals occupying those low-skilled spaces, a double-whammy, and all of it just to help Democrats get elected.
No, immigration does not automatically convert to a nation's wealth. It can do quite the opposite, in fact, and drain it that much faster and liquidate the treasury, a treasury that the Democrats are all too eager to pillage in order to buy votes from other foreign nationals who walk across our border and give them the vote as fast as possible.

Anchor
Baby Population in U.S. Exceeds One Year of American Births
Associated
Press
The number of United States-born children who were given birthright
citizenship despite at least one of their parents being an illegal alien living
in the country now outnumbers one year of all American births.
A new
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report reveals the booming
number of U.S.-born children to illegal aliens who are given automatic
citizenship, forever anchoring their families in the U.S.
These children are commonly known as “anchor babies,” as they
are able to eventually bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the
U.S. through the process known as “chain migration.” Every two new immigrants
to the U.S. brings an estimated seven foreign relatives with them.
In 1993, Harry Reid famously said on the
Senate floor that "no sane country" would grand birthright
citizenship to anchor babies. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/26/cbo-at-least-4-5m-anchor-babies-in-u-s/ …
CBO: At Least 4.5M Anchor Babies in U.S.
There are at least 4.5 million anchor babies in the U.S. under
the age of 18-years-old, according to the CBO. This estimate does not include
the potentially millions of anchor babies who are older than 18-years-old, nor
does it include the anchor babies who are living overseas with their deported
foreign parents.
The 4.5 million anchor babies estimate exceeds the four million
American children born every year. In the next decade, the CBO estimates that
there will be at least another 600,000 anchor babies born in the U.S., which
would put the anchor baby population on track to exceed annual American births
— should the U.S. birth rate not increase — by more than one million anchor
babies.
Already, the anchor baby population exceeds the entire
population of Los Angeles, California and is roughly half of the population of
New York City.
As Breitbart News reported, a decade of
chain migration, allowing newly naturalized immigrants to bring an unlimited
number of foreign relatives with them, has exceeded two years of all American
births. Altogether, chain migration since 2005 has imported roughly 9.3 million
foreign nationals to the U.S.
Even after discounting normal immigration,
the number of chain migration arrivals at the nation’s airports during 5 years
exceeds the number of babies born during each year. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/18/five-years-of-chain-migration-adds-more-people-to-u-s-than-one-year-of-american-births/ …
Five Years of Chain Migration Adds More People to U.S.
than One Year of American Births - Breitbart
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals,
with the vast majority deriving from family-based chain migration. In 2016, the
legal and illegal immigrant population reached a record high of 44 million. By
2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal
immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the
entire U.S. population.
Idaho Is Fastest-Growing State in U.S.
Charlie

Idaho has the fastest-growing population in the United States,
according to newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Over the
last year, the Census Bureau concludes, Idaho’s population
increased by 2.2 percent, with now 1.7 million residents living in the state
that has one of the most racially homogeneous makeups.
Idaho was the
nation’s fastest-growing state in 2016. Its population increased 2.2% to 1.7
million. See new #population estimates for your state here: https://go.usa.gov/xnUVu
Chief of the Population Estimates Branch Luke Rogers said in a
statement that domestic migration of Americans is the reason behind Idaho’s
population growth between July 2016 and July 2017.
“Domestic migration drove change in the two fastest-growing
states, Idaho and Nevada, while an excess of births over deaths played a major
part in the growth of the third fastest-growing state, Utah,” Rogers said.
The U.S. Census Bureau found that net international migration to
the U.S. has continued growing the country’s population –with 1.1 million
foreign nationals being admitted over the last year – with the overall U.S.
population growing by 2.3 million individuals.
Every year, 1.5 million foreign nationals arrive in the U.S. The
foreign-born population, most recently, has reached historic levels, with now
more than 44 million immigrants residing in the country, as Breitbart
News reported.
Mexico has the largest group of
legal and illegal foreign nationals in the U.S., with 1.1 million immigrants
from the country arriving in the U.S. between 2010 and 2016. Mexican nationals
make up roughly one in eight new arrivals to the U.S.
The largest increases from 2015 to 2016 to immigration to the
U.S. have come from the Middle East, the Carribean, Central America, and Sub-Saharan
Africa.
The booming foreign-born
population is largely due to family-based chain migration, which was
established by the 1965 immigration legislation allowing new arrivals to the
U.S. to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives with them.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — There is now a record level of immigrants living in
the United States – standing at roughly 44 million people nationwide –
who entered the U.S. both illegally and legally from a
foreign country.
Research conducted by the Center for
Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals the massive scope of the U.S.
immigrant population, which has contributed to keeping American wages stagnant
while driving up costs of social services.
Camarota’s research reveals that in 2016, there were between 43
and 45 million immigrants in the U.S., nearly quadruple the immigrant
population in 2000.
Mexico, as noted by Camarota, has the largest group of legal and
illegal foreign nationals in the U.S., with 1.1 million immigrants from the
country arriving in the U.S. between 2010 and 2016. Mexican nationals make up
roughly one in eight new arrivals to the U.S.
Legal and illegal immigrants now make up close to 14 percent of
the entire U.S. population, or roughly one out of every eight American
residents. Camarota says this is the largest percentage in 106 years.
The largest increases from 2015 to 2016 to immigration to the
U.S. have come from the Middle East, the Carribean, Central America, and
Sub-Saharan Africa.
The booming foreign-born population is largely due to
family-based chain migration, which was established by the 1965 immigration
legislation allowing new arrivals to the U.S. to bring their foreign family
members, spouses, children, and extended family to the U.S.
For
instance, as Breitbart News has reported, on
average, for every new legal immigrant from Mexico, the immigrant brings six
relatives to the U.S. years later when they obtain U.S. citizenship.
President
Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, most recently, have called for an end to chain
migration, slamming it for its negative impact on American workers and the
country’s working-class, who are often forced to compete with new arrivals for
blue-collar jobs.
“A merit-based system, by definition, would be safer than a
lottery or even extended family-based immigration,” Sessions said during a
speech in New York City, New York. “We want the best and the brightest in
America. The President’s plan is essential to protecting our national
security, while also banning drunk drivers, fraudsters, gang members, and child
abusers.”
Harvard
University economist George Borjas, an immigration expert, recently said the current
family-based chain migration system is “really hard to justify as a rational
immigration policy.”

Mexican Invasion
By Tom Barrett
Mexico, a nation that has benefited enormously from
American generosity is now working to destabilize our country.
At the current rate
of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada) the United
States will be completely over run with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m
not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In
less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their
offspring will be the dominant population in the United States.
According to US Border
Control (see LINK below). “They will have made such inroads into the political
and social systems that they will have more influence than our Constitution
over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly consequence of an ignored U.S.
Constitution is already taking place.” The millions upon millions of illegal
aliens streaming into the US are the foundation for what could be another
attempt at secession by several US states. Many of them will use
ill-conceived programs that reward illegal immigration to become US
citizens. Other illegals will simply go to the polls and vote without taking
the trouble to apply for citizenship. Together, these groups could form a
voting block that could tear our nation apart. Those of you who read
the email version of this column should go to www.ConservativeTruth.org to
see the map posted there. It shows the borders of a new nation proposed by
influential Mexican nationals and Hispanic US Citizens. (See LINK below:
Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'.) It includes six northern states of
Mexican, as well as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and southern
Colorado. The idea of a Hispanic Homeland could be ignored as the pipe dream
of crackpots if a substantial majority of Mexican citizens did not support
it. A Zogby poll of Mexicans done in June 2002 revealed that a substantial
majority of Mexican citizens believe that southwestern America properly
belongs to Mexico. They said that Mexicans do not need the permission of the
U.S. to enter this territory. 58 percent of Mexican citizens agreed with this
statement: "The territory of the United States' southwest rightfully
belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagreed with the statement. Listen
to what some Mexican government officials and US leaders (including
politicians and Professors at taxpayer-funded Universities) have to say on
this subject. Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington
and founder of La Raza Unida political party screams at rallies: "We
have an aging white America. They are dying. They are shitting in their pants
with fear! I love it! We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by
that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him!" (See
LINK below.) Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council "They’re afraid
we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions.
They’re right. We will take them over. Mario Obledo, California State
Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Jerry Brown, who was awarded
the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton, says, “California is going
to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave."
Proposition 187 was the California initiative supported by a majority of
Californians that denied taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens.
Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to Proposition 187’s passage in 1995,
Art Torres, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party, said:
"Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is the
last gasp of white America in California." The national newspaper of
Mexico, Excelsior: "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning
to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot." Gloria
Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor: "We are politicizing every single
one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country...I
gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I’m
going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back." Jose
Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General: “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’
in California." "Reconquista" means the reconquest of the US
southwest by Mexico. (See LINK below.). These people are serious! They think
they are going to take US territory. The Mexican President declared it here
in our country, and Bill Clinton signed a Presidential Executive Order that
paves the way for at least part of Mexico’s dream. Mexican President Ernesto
Zedillo said in Chicago on July 23, 1997, "I have proudly affirmed that
the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and
that Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of this. For
this reason, my government proposed a constitutional amendment to allow any
Mexican with the right and the desire to acquire another nationality to do so
without being forced to first give up his or her Mexican nationality."
Translation: It is next to impossible to receive Mexican citizenship unless
you can prove you are of Mexican descent. But Mexico knows that the US has
soft immigration laws and will grant citizenship to almost anyone. (After
all, we grant citizenship every day to immigrants from countries who have
sworn to destroy us.) So Mexico wants
to take advantage of this ridiculous situation by encouraging their citizens
to apply for US citizenship while keeping Mexican citizenship. That way the
Mexican government can influence the political process here in the US.
Executive Order 13122, signed on May 25, 1999, by the most treasonous
president this nation has ever been cursed with, Bill Clinton, established an
Interagency Task Force on the Economic Development of the Southwest Border.
Part of the Order reads, "The Southwest Border or Southwest Border
region is defined as including the areas up to 150 miles north of the United
States-Mexican border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and
California." According to experts on international law, this sets the
stage for a 150-mile-wide “Border Zone” that will neither belong to Mexico or
the US. This could then become the first area of a Hispanic Nation that would
eventually encompass the areas shown in the map of the proposed Republica del
Norte (The Northern Republic). Our government, pushed by liberal Democrats,
has been systematically laying the groundwork for such a breakaway republic.
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non European countries can
come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government
contracts? It’s called affirmative action or racial privilege. Some time ago
a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated.
Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain
special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were
joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al
Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from
countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for
these immigrants. Mexico, a nation that has benefited enormously from
American generosity is now working to destabilize our country. Is
“destabilize” too strong a word? I don’t think so. Whether or not Mexican
leaders think they can actually create enough hatred against “gringos” to
accomplish the creation of a new republic made up of mainly US territory,
they know that pushing that agenda will cause huge political problems here
and allow Mexico to accomplish many of their goals. Is the government of
Mexico behind this? You have seen quotes from a Mexican President and a
Mexican Consul General in support of it. They have everything to gain and
little to lose by pushing it. The Mexican government is also pushing illegal immigration,
which destabilizes our economy. The US Border Control website (see LINK
below) shows an illustration from a Mexican government publication showing
their citizens how to best illegally enter the US. Why? It takes the strain
of taking care of unemployed Mexicans off the Mexican treasury and puts it on
the US treasury. And when the illegals get on welfare, they send some of
their money home, which helps the Mexican economy. All this talk by Mexican
and US officials about the US illegally occupying Mexican territory does
nothing but breed racial hatred. The sad thing is that none of this is about
race. It is about the things that all wars and conflicts are about: Greed,
power and money. I don’t like to talk about a problem without offering a
solution. The US politicians and professors who advocate taking US territory
are guilty of sedition. Remove them from their offices and (hopefully) put
them in a federal penitentiary where they can consider the error of their
ways. The Mexican politicians who do the same are guilty of inciting
sedition. This is very close to an act of war. Immediately cut of all
economic aid to Mexico until its government publicly disavows this lunatic
plan. Finally, we must realize that we can’t stop this by marching US troops
into Mexico. We should use troops to guard our borders, because the US Border
Patrol cannot cover the huge US-Mexico border without help. And we need to
use pass laws that will stop the government from rewarding illegal immigrants
at the expense of those who follow the law. We have a huge immigration
problem in this country. This ridiculous Hispanic Homeland idea is just a
symptom of the problem. INTERNET RESEARCH: Professor Predicts 'Hispanic
Homeland' 1. http://www.aztlan.net/homeland.htm Professor Predicts 'Hispanic
Homeland' ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies
professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century,
taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico. Charles
Truxillo suggests the “Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is
“an inevitability.” He envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican
states: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and
Tamaulipas. Along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing
fusion, a reviving of connections,” Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and
Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one people again.” Truxillo, 47, has said the
new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,” but
recently said it was unlikely to be formed by civil war. Instead, its
creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure of the future
majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.

Another Dirty Little Secret About Massive Immigration About to Be Exposed –
Hopefully

Jewel SAMAD
Are you ever
tied up in a traffic jam and start to wonder, “Where are all these
people coming from?” Have you tried to go camping only to find out the
campgrounds have long since been “filled up?” Have more and more acres in
your area that once produced food, now only produce urban heat pads? Has your
state had to divert more and more water from agricultural usage to human
consumption? And in general, has the population footprint
on the environment in your area been enlarged by population growth?
Does water run downhill?
Then the answer to the question
asked in the first sentence is immigration — both legal and illegal. In
fact, according to both the Federation
for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Pew Hispanic Center, new immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 75 to 80
percent of our annual population growth.
You don’t have to be a tree
hugger to recognize that massive population increases have negatively affected
the environment. Everything from water scarcity to urban sprawl can be
attributed to population increases and, as I said, population increases in the
U.S. can almost completely be attributed to immigration. So, beyond the
negative impact of massive immigration on housing costs, schools, hospitals,
energy, incarceration rates, and the breakdown of assimilation that the left
and the media refuse to acknowledge — add environmental impact.
Congress passed a law in 1969
known as NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) and it has been used extensively
and with a heavy hand to regulate development in almost every area of our
economy. A central feature of the law is the provision requiring that any
proposed governmental action that affects the environment be examined through
public comment and hearings to assure its benefits outweigh any adverse impact
on the environment. Federal agencies must conduct “Environmental Impact
Assessments” before implementing any new action or program.
Even the Pentagon and every
branch of the military has to comply with NEPA in its programs and operations.
And yet, since 1970, not one federal agency — not the predecessor to the U.S.
Customs and Immigration Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS), nor the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, the Centers
for Disease Control, the Federal Highway Administration, nor the Public Health
Service — not a single federal agency has ever complied with the mandates of
the NEPA with respect to its immigration-related programs and activities.
There is no secret as to the
lack of interest in applying NEPA requirements to immigration. You see, the law
requires that BEFORE you undertake a project you must go through an extensive
review and that means no new immigration, or very little, until the review can
be completed. Holy scare the living heck out of the open borders crowd,
Batman!! And then what if the review shows the real damage being done to
the environment is substantial (and it would be hard not to)? What
would the remedy be? Too horrible for both the “borders mean nothing”
crowd or the crony capitalists to contemplate.
Well now, the good news.
Finally, in 2017, 48 years after NEPA was enacted, that bipartisan “blind-eye”
toward immigration is being challenged.
A coalition of non-profit
organizations led by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), an affiliate
of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), has filed a lawsuit to force
federal agencies to follow the requirements of NEPA and examine the impact of
mass immigration on the environment. The lawsuit was filed in October of 2016
in federal district court against the Department of Homeland Security, but, if
successful, it would lead to changes in many other federal agencies as well.
The 85-page Preliminary
Statement filed by nine plaintiffs in the U.S. Federal Court for the District
of Southern California opens with this statement of a claim against the federal
Homeland Security agency:
Like its predecessor agency,
the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”), DHS has turned a blind eye
regarding the environmental impacts, including the cumulative impacts, of its
actions concerning foreign nationals who enter and settle into the United
States pursuant to the agency’s discretionary actions. The resulting
environmental impacts from these actions are significant and an analysis of
these impacts by DHS is required pursuant to the National Environmental Policy
Act (“NEPA”), see 42
U.S.C. § 4331 et seq. (2016),
and its implementing regulations. But DHS, like INS before it, undertakes no
such NEPA review. Accordingly, DHS is acting in contravention of its legal
obligations.
The lawsuit was the subject of
a September 23, 2017, presentation at the annual meeting of the Writers
Workshop in Washington, DC, which can be viewed here.
Full and equitable enforcement
of the National Environmental Policy Act is 48 years overdue. Citizens who want
immigration policy to reflect national priorities and not “global citizenship”
should support the new lawsuit and demand the same of our elected officials.

Census: Immigration
to bust 100-year record, continue surging
A huge boom in
immigration, legal and illegal, over the past 16 years has jumped the immigrant
population to over 43 million in the United States, according to a
new report.
And when their
U.S.-born children are added, the number grows to over 60 million, making the
immigrant community nearly one-fifth of the nation's population, according to
federal statistics reviewed by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Steven
Camarota, the
Center's director of research and co-author of the report, said, "The
enormous number of immigrants already in the country coupled with the
settlement of well over a million newcomers each year has a profound impact on
American society, including on workers, schools, infrastructure, hospitals and
the environment. The nation needs a serious debate about whether continuing
this level of immigration makes sense."
Concerns about the
explosion of immigration, especially of illegals, helped Donald Trump win the
presidency and has prompted his administration to crack down on illegal
immigration and refugees.
The new report does not
break down the percentage of legal and illegal immigrants in the U.S., although
there are an estimated 12 million undocumented aliens in the country.
It found that since
2000, the U.S. immigrant population has increased 8 million and a sizable
number came from Mexico and Latin America, the source of most illegal
immigrants.
Key findings:
- The
nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record 43.7
million in July 2016, an increase of half a million since 2015, 3.8
million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000.
- As a
share of the U.S. population, immigrants (legal and illegal) comprised
13.5 percent, or one out of eight U.S. residents in 2016, the highest
percentage in 106 years. As recently as 1980, just one out of 16 residents
was foreign-born.
- Between
2010 and 2016, 8.1 million new immigrants settled in the United States.
New arrivals are offset by the roughly 300,000 immigrants who return home
each year and annual natural mortality of about 300,000 among the existing
foreign-born population. As a result, growth in the immigrant population
was 3.8 million 2010 to 2016.
- In
addition to immigrants, there were slightly more than 16.6 million
U.S.-born minor children with an immigrant parent in 2016, for a total of
60.4 million immigrants and their children in the country. Immigrants and
their minor children now account for nearly one in five U.S. residents.
- Mexican
immigrants (legal and illegal) were by far the largest foreign-born
population in the country in 2016. Mexico is the top sending country, with
1.1 million new immigrants arriving from Mexico between 2010 and 2016, or
one out of eight new arrivals. However, because of return migration and
natural mortality among the existing population, the overall Mexican-born
population has not grown in the last six years.
- The
states with the largest numerical increases in the number of immigrants
from 2010 to 2016 were Texas (up 587,889), Florida (up 578,468),
California (up 527,234), New York (up 238,503), New Jersey (up 171,504),
