No More Illegal Immigration
Contributed by Jim Lieb
Donald Trump has been berated for the manner in which he dealt with the illegal entries along the USA’s southern border during his presidency, and also for his claim that if reelected he would fix the problem.
Some folks are either unaware, or couldn’t care less, that during Trump’s presidency the U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 1.97 million illegal entries, and during Biden’s presidency [so far] they have reported 10 million illegal entries.
Many people are focused on what they believe is the most important aspect of this issue, namely helping, caring for, and protecting all those seeking to leave the bad conditions existing in their countries and migrating to a country like the USA where they hope life will be better.
What many do not seem to understand, is that such a Do-Good approach is making the situation worse. It is promoting and encouraging more illegal immigration. Plus emigrating away from problem areas to perceived better areas on the planet will only cause the “better areas” to be made worse.
Illegal immigration is not just a USA problem. It is going on around the globe. Massive shifting of the world’s population into more concentrated areas will not make life better for Homo sapiens in the long haul. What is happening on planet earth, what we with our population of 8 billion has wrought, includes climate change’s devastating results, air, water and marine pollution, extensive habitat loss for much of the rest of life on this planet, large number of extinctions and threats of extinction, war and the threat of nuclear annihilation.
Such are the important issues we human beings must address, including controlling our species/ourselves, so that our planet can move forward to a more positive promising future. As part of this effort, first and second world nations need to establish very specific immigration and asylum rules, that control and minimize population growth in their countries. And these rules must be enforced.
All the world’s countries must be told in no uncertain terms: “No more illegal immigration -- all offenders will be returned to their country of origin”
What all the Do-Gooders and 1st/2nd world nations need to focus on is helping problem nations fix their bad political, economic and social situations so that their citizens will no longer want to migrate.
