    A SUGGESTION FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION

    A Suggestion for Traffic Congestion

    Published: Fri, Mar 23rd 2018 @ 4:49 pmEDT by Van Esser


    This week, snow hit the Washington, D.C. area and commuters received a treat. I’m not talking about the beautiful white landscape, although that certainly was there. I mean that commuters, when the federal government shut down, got to experience what driving would be like if area population was dramatically smaller.

    That's a rare treat, indeed, in an area where population is booming, driven by immigration.


    In Fairfax County, Virginia where I live, the population increased 5.2 percent (about 57,000 people) between 2010 and 2016. 30.3 percent of those residing in the county are now foreign-born.

    The increases were larger in nearby Prince William and Loudoun Counties where population increased 13.2 percent and 23.6 percent, respectively, during the same period. 22.8 percent of Prince William residents and 23.4 percent of Loudoun County residents are now foreign born.


    These increases are substantial but the long-term picture is stunning.

    Virginia’s population increased 35 percent from 1990 to 2015, to nearly 8.4 million people and is expected to grow by an additional 25 percent by 2040. Virginia’s foreign-born population grew by more than 200 percent since 1990. 1 in 9 residents are now foreign born. Taking into account their U.S.-born children, immigrants are responsible for 45 percent of Virginia’s total population growth in recent decades.


    As a result, commuter traffic is somewhere between bad and horrible, just about every day. If the average Virginia commute was about an hour each day in 2013, what will it be in 2040 when 25 percent more people are present?

    The population boom has other downsides as well. Increased sprawl. A degraded Virginia infrastructure and water supply. Wages are driven down while housing costs are driven up. And school systems are unable to cope.


    The D.C. area is not unique in this regard. Many central cities face similar challenges thanks to immigration-based population growth. And many are quickly reaching a tipping point because the growth is unsustainable.

    The solution is simple and within reach.

    Congress must limit immigration to ensure responsible population growth.

    Otherwise, 50 years from now, shutting down the federal government won’t be a treat for D.C. commuters. It will hardly cause a dent in traffic.

    Congress and the courts can begin alleviating this burden and the costs by terminating illegal DACA.

    Terminate TPS, refugee, asylum programs and STOP funding this!

    No amnesty and NO path to stay for 1.8 MILLION DACA!

    1.8 million and their breeding will turn into 10 million in no time just with allowing DACA to stay. What about the rest of their illegal family members who are here?

    Let work permits expire and RAMP UP deportations of ALL illegal aliens, TPS and Visa Overstays.

    There are 30 MILLION in our country that need to be deported. We cannot continue to allow millions upon millions of people come into our country, continue to have several children WE cannot afford to pay for or keep up with the impact this has on the quality of OUR lives.

    This IS impacting our jobs, schools, roads, bridges, social services, welfare, food stamps, medical facilities, housing, crime, jail, prisons, courts, law suits, elderly care, diseases, water and food sources. Many of these neighborhoods they take over turn into dumps with more crime and graffiti.

    Then we have the impact of Natural Disasters and paying for the costs of millions who lose homes to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires and earthquakes.

    We need a 10 year moratorium on ALL immigration, deport the people who are here in violation of our Laws and start to clean up this mess!

    We need to spend our money on America, rebuild our infrastructure, our water systems and reservoirs, build the wall, our electrical grids and electrical lines.

    We do NOT need to continue to bring millions upon millions of foreigners who cost us a fortune and stress our resources!

    IT IS TIME WE ALL STAND UP FOR AMERICAN'S FIRST!

    WE HAVE BEEN USED, ABUSED AND SOLD OUT FOR FAR TOO LONG!

    I DO NOT WANT OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY TO TURN INTO AN OVERCROWDED BREEDING CESSPOOL OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE IN OUR COUNTRY.
