Mexican border - secure it. Then I think we can start talking about Mexican immigration with a view to resolving this issue rather than simply adding to it. In the meantime we can continue to see natural resources destroyed (where are the environmentalists on this issue?), and community cohesion deteriorate to the point where Americans no longer wish to live in their own towns and cities, due to the problems associated with mass, illegal immigration.

Thats funny. It's not a drama. It's a comedy. Nothing about life is seriuos. Its an experiment. Can't stop laughing when watching this vid. There is not little ressources, there is too much people. Nature has a solution :) It's time to die. Stop medical care and security. Its making the problem worse.

I'm not sorry to say this at all. Humans! Stop breeding like rabbits! This is the first time I ever put things so simple.

To maxtube22 (round wrap-up):
Billions of people are now stuck in Earth's "gravity well." We can't get out, at least not yet, and so many people just have to have all the children they were meant to have, and can list so many compelling reasons to have many children or ENLARGE the entire human race. There's more people in the world, than was previously, and now more birth canal holes from which still more babies can come. To have affordable housing for poor, must build suburbs, bigger cities,

Man... I can't believe it... You think overpopulation is a good think? That the human must grow over the edge of the capacity of the Earth?
The more people using the same resources means less resources for the individual. This includes basic resources like food, water, home.

To maxtube22 (continued):
To expect everybody to farm, is to go backwards. Most people don't want to farm. They want to do other jobs. The world already has way too many people for everybody to farm. No way to handle all the redistribution of land.
Consider the baby in the womb. World pop is like that baby, and we have all these "plans" to colonize other worlds, but how can we possibly do sci-fi stuff? Baby can't get out of womb, without first growing bigger, a lot bigger. We aren't ready.

You were warned wicked communist, your deceptive propaganda is what is already causing the deaths and suffering of millions of people and will only increase as your communist propaganda seduces even more of the ignorant.
