Legal Immigration Declines under President Trump

Tuesday’s New York Times front page includes an article titled “Immigration By Legal Path Begins to Fall” showing how President Trump’s efforts to reduce the foreign influx into America has begun to turn the tide.

We know already that Trump’s Remain in Mexico deal has severely chilled the asylum fraud since fewer than one percent […]

California: Dry Winter Is Apparent from Sierra Snowpack Photos from Space

Whenever Democrat 2020 candidates yap about America offering open borders to the world, it’s clear that they have never considered the environmental carrying capacity of our little space on the planet.

Unfortunately, California is a popular place for foreigners of varying legality to relocate which has given us more than 10 million foreigners as fellow […]

Democrat-Run California Has Done Nothing to Store Water for a Future Drought

The front page of Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times had a truly dispiriting message, namely that just a couple years after a record drought, California has done nothing to store water during a rare rainy winter. In fact, much of the precious water is being dumped into the ocean with little attempt to capture it.

More Attention to the Effects of World Population Growth Is Needed in 2019

I’ve decided as my (doable!) New Years Resolution to emphasize world population growth more going forward because it increasingly is driving issues in America and beyond in a negative way.

Excessive population growth used to be a topic among environmentalists, but now you rarely hear it mentioned. For example, today’s politically correct Sierra Clubbers would […]

Tucker Carlson Asks: Why Don’t Liberals Care about Immigration-Fueled Overpopulation and the Environment Any More?

It once was the case that at least some liberals supported immigration limits because of the harmful effects of excess population on the environment as a primary reason. But many have forgotten because politics have become more important than preserving the nation’s natural resources that support life.

For example, California’s severe five-year drought from 2011 […]

California’s Water Problems Continue as Depleted Groundwater Causes Subsidence and Canal Failure

Water supply continues to be a worrisome thing in California, where the memory of the historic five-year drought remains strong. Now we learn that the drought plus overuse of groundwater has caused so much subsidence in the Central Valley that a large stretch of a gravity-run canal no longer works.

Drought-plagued Cape Town Considers Importing an Iceberg to Increase Water Supply

To serious water worriers, the extreme drought situation in Cape Town South Africa has been a forecast of bad things to come in the overpopulated future. Regions with more people than their rainfall can support are at risk for water shortages, particularly when even alleged environmentalists like California Gov. Jerry Brown think additional millions of […]

Limiting Immigration Is Considered in the Washington Post

It’s always welcome when someone approaches the immigration issue from the viewpoint of America’s needs, rather than the Third Worlders’ incessant demands to be admitted. Michael Anton got some attention for asking that question a few days ago: Why do we need more people in this country, anyway?

Why, indeed?

Immigration-fueled overpopulation must be recognized […]

Tucker Carlson Asks the Big Immigration Question — How Many?

Tucker Carlson celebrated May Day by welcoming an open-borders California commie to his show to discuss the caravan invasion of moochers now perched on the border to claim legal asylum in the United States — although many have admitted to reporters that they are escaping gang crime or want a “better life” which are not […]

Drought-Stricken Cape Town Limits Water to 13 Gallons Daily

Cape Town, South Africa, is on the brink of a drought disaster where the taps may literally run dry for a city of four million. Extreme conservation measures have pushed back the so-called “Day Zero” from March to perhaps a date later in the spring. The rainy season there starts in June, so hopes are […]

California Snowpack Report Suggests a Return to Drought

The winter rainy season is drawing to a close here in California, and it’s been disappointing. Nearly all of the state’s water comes from rain that falls from October through March, so water worriers (nearly all residents after the brutal five-year drought) are concerned. We were rescued by a near-record rainy season in 2016-17 but […]

Californians Worry about a Drought Resurgence

About half of Wednesday’s San Jose Mercury-News was dedicated to a report about drought in South Africa. The main headline — The City That Ran Out of Water — gets attention in northern California where a brutal five-year drought was broken last year by a very wet winter when the rains finally came. Now several […]
