OAKLAND, Calif., May 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Last September, "Time" estimated that 3 million illegal aliens would enter this country in 2004 alone. Legal immigration has averaged one million annually in recent years. These 4 million foreign nationals and their children born here all consume energy, just like other human beings.

Last December, Barron's reported that the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. was estimated to be 18 million to 20 million. "If the U.S. granted amnesty to just 10 million illegal aliens, within years, those migrants could add tens of millions of new energy consumers to this country through births and chain migration!" says Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America (DASA). "The United States cannot rely on drilling the Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and/or alternative sources of energy to support unlimited U.S. population growth. Even if we could cut domestic consumption by half, little progress would we achieve if our population doubles."

A continued massive influx of low-skilled immigrants will also exacerbate our Social Security problems. The above-mentioned Barron's article also reported that underground economy in this country, fueled largely by "the nation's swelling ranks of low- wage illegal immigrants," would "soon pass $1 trillion." Yet, the Bush administration signed the Totalization Agreement with Mexico which allows Mexicans working illegally in the U.S. to draw up to $345 billion from the Social Security Trust Fund over the next 20 years!

Even assuming that low-income legal and illegal immigrant workers pay taxes diligently, the revenue they generate will not be enough to cover the cost of educating their children -- an average of more than $6,000 per child per year -- let alone the costs of other services and infrastructure. And their contribution to Social Security will not cover the benefits they will receive when they retire.

"President Bush and Congress should realize that continued massive immigration will further exacerbate our energy and Social Security Problems," says Ms. Yeh, who urges that Americans oppose all amnesty proposals, including President Bush and Senators Kennedy/McCain's defacto amnesty plans, and demand that our immigration laws be seriously enforced and all benefits be denied to illegal aliens. DASA is a national non-profit organization whose leaders and supporters are racially and politically diverse, including Hispanic and Asian immigrants.

This is good, DARLENE!!

Yeh Ling-Ling, and her basically one-woman organization, has been doing a tremendous job over the years. She has especially been effective at getting her message out directly to the Bay Area immigrant community. Her basic message is kind of: Okay, you want to daisy-chain and get your father, your mother, your brother, your cousin into America. But at what point will we just be making the conditions just as bad here as they already are in the countries we've immigrated from. And its amusing to see these white, liberal, politically-correct, Open Borders advocates trying to accuse this asian woman of "racism."
