Thread: Illegals impact on public health & environment

The U.S. immigration system is broken and has been for decades. The U.S. Congress, now in session, in its legislative attempts to fix the malfunctioning immigration system, must address protecting public health, sustaining natural resources, and improving environmental quality. Congress must cast aside timidity and the lobbying efforts of special interests and act to stabilize the U.S. population by limiting the number of legal immigrants admitted each year and by stopping illegal immigration at the border. A stable population and sustainable environment depend on congressional action.



It is all well and good for the president to sign strict public health executive orders, but they are meaningless if Congress continues to counteract them with muddled immigration legislation that perpetuates weak enforcement. For the last 40 years, the U.S. Congress has failed to protect the nation's public health and environment from a foreign-born population explosion.



With the current rate of illegal immigration worldwide, public health and environmental quality in developed nations could approach the levels of disease and environmental degradation in many Third World countries. The United States of America can best help developing nations by staying strong and healthy itself. With the survival of the United States – as united states – at risk, U.S. citizens must demand the government they deserve.

This is a very long article, states the diseases that are brought into our country, the affects of not having enough resources in the future (water, etc).... and the laws we already have from our government plus the CDC, that are not enforced to protect Americans.

You want to see the inpact of immigrants on our health care system? Just drive by any free clinic, or health department. Drive by, stop, get out of your car or truck and walk in - take a look around. That should be all you need to do.
