Thread: NC: Illegals are Leaving the Area

While in a doctor's waiting room last week, I read a recent issue of National Geographic. I will tell you that I am not an alarmist AND I do think most greenies are a little bit too over the edge on environmental issues. At any rate, the article dealt with the world's water supply. It scared the tar out of me. There was a cartographer's flat map that showed how desertification has expanded over the last few (forgive me, I forgot the actual dates on the maps), years. Wells are being dug deeper. We are going after 60 year old water now. A friend in Chicago recently had his pump sucking air after 35 years in the same house. He had to go down another 50 feet to get the right GPM flow.

Your point is well taken. Additionally, I believe the earth to be in a natural, cyclical warming cycle that affects or exaggerates the effects of drought. America is the best country in the world for recycling water, yet, it is not enough if we continue to allow uncontrolled access to enter our country and add more strain on resources that are limited.

PS A thoughtful, planning government would be building desalinization plants, NOW, and not waiting until, once again, it is too late in a cycle to prevent severe damage. (Katrina, etc.)

This is also one of my biggest concerns. I think there may come a time when water is more expensive than gas. In Carlsbad, a town near San Diego, they just got approval for a $300 million dollar desalinization plant. I wondered if they had the fore thought and did this say, back in the 70's, it would have likely cost us more like 30 million and we wouldn't be in this mess. I'll be damned if I'm going to share our water with a bunch of illegals and this is just one of many reasons why they need to leave.
