Letter body:
Crowded classrooms. Traffic gridlock. Loss of farmland. Increasingly severe water shortages in the West.
Failing social networks. Bridges and roads in disrepair. Stagnant wages. Decreasing numbers of family-wage jobs.
That’s with the current U.S. population of approximately 321 million. The U.S. Census Bureau now projects that another 103 million immigrants will come to our country over the next 50 years.
That presumably includes the 100,000 Syrian refugees the Obama administration wants to relocate here, among whom will almost certainly be some Islamic State members and/or Islamic State sympathizers.
Will somebody in the “open our borders” crowd please explain to me how that’s going to be good for America?
