    IMMIGRATION SHUTDOWN NOW: HUNGER IN AMERICA

    Part 11: Human starvation equates to human misery, 1 in 6 hungry in America

    According to www.FeedingAmerica.org, one in six Americans faces hunger and malnutrition. That’s here in our country! Not Africa, Mexico or Asia, but here in America. A mind-numbing 48 million Americans subsist on food stamps.

    Nonetheless, our U.S. Congress imports 100,000 legal immigrants every 30 days as if that will solve our jobs crisis with America’s poor. We stand in the cross hairs of adding 100,000,000 (million) legal immigrants within the next 35 years. If we can’t solve our food crisis in 2015, how will we feed all thosepeople in 2050? Maybe technology will save us! Answer: no it won’t.

    The green revolution arrived as a result of the efforts of Norman Borlaug, who, while accepting the Nobel peace prize in 1970, said: "The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given humanity a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

    Ironically, Borlaug, not only foresaw mass human starvation, he unwittingly contributed to it. While his great experimenting with crops yielded greater gains per acre, he facilitated massive population growth that exploded the world from 2.5 billion at the beginning of the last century to our enormously hungry and thirsty 7.3 billion humans in the 21st century. He unwittingly created even greater human starvation levels into the billions when the ax finally falls as to water, arable land and energy availability.

    Dreadful, miserable and deadly! Today, we humans seem to think we can outsmart Mother Nature. We can vanquish her! As you see in this graphic series, at this point, we seem to be winning. Not for much longer!

    (One of the world's biggest refugee camps lies on Kenya's border with Somalia. The Dadaab camp, designed to hold 90,000
    refugees, now gives shelter to more than three times that number. Over 1.5 billion human beings cannot secure a clean glass of water daily.)

    For millions of years, Mother Nature culled any species that overwhelmed its carrying capacity of water, food and resources. When we humans came onto the scene, our cleverness allowed us a small niche, which became a larger niche and today, Homo erectus meaning “clever ape”, rages across the planet with a self-evident arrogance that we can brutalize nature in any way we choose. We think we can poison the air, water and land without harm to ourselves. We think we can encroach on the rest of the natural world and kill off endless species—yet remain unharmed and untouched by our folly.

    Think again!

    Poverty in America:

    In 2011, 46.2 million people (15.0 percent) were in poverty.
    In 2011, 9.5 million (11.8 percent) families were in poverty.
    In 2011, 26.5 million (13.7 percent) of people ages 18-64 were in poverty.
    In 2011, 16.1 million (22.0 percent) children under the age of 18 were in poverty.
    In 2011, 3.6 million (9.0 percent) seniors 65 and older were in poverty.

    Food Insecurity and Very Low Food Security

    In 2011, 50.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, 33.5 million adults and 16.7 million children.
    These figures sober any American, but they do not begin to tell the story of 21st century world starvation dynamics. With our paltry 321 million human population, we also suffer the highest obesity rates in the world with over half of our citizens fat, overweight and suffering from heart disease, diabetes and other overweight medical health issues. But we also feature 40 + million Americans subsisting in food kitchens and food banks. An astounding 48 million of them live off food stamps.
    Ironically, 10 million children starve to death around the world annually according to the World Health Organization www.WHO.org. Another eight million adult humans starve to death annually around the world from their sheer poverty. (Source: Time Magazine)

    In America, we gallop toward an added 138 million people by 2050—a scant 35 years from now—virtually 90 percent of it caused by legal and illegal immigration. Beyond reason and without thinking, we appear to believe we can outsmart Mother Nature. We face a rude and vicious awakening long before 2050 as Peak Oil rips gasoline out of our tractors and slams us for $10 up to $20 per gallon.

    (Americans lining up at a food bank in Miami. A mind-numbing 47 million Americans cannot feed themselves on their wages. They subsist on taxpayer-funded food stamps. They line up at food banks and soup kitchens to eat some food. If America continues its raging gallop toward adding the projected 138 million by 2050—a scant 37 years from now, the ability to feed our poor will become impossible.)

    How will our civilization survive the raging Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? At the moment, we charge right into their cross hairs. First, we need a national discussion-debate. We need to throw “immigration overload” onto the table. We need to stop mass immigration. We cannot hope for good to ensue, we must act in order to create a viable civilization. This series applies to Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and most other countries of the world.

    Without our immediate actions, we most certainly will become victims of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As Borlaug said,“But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

    Definition of slogan: “Immigration Shutdown Now means the American people want all legal immigration dropped to less than 20,000 annually with compatible immigrants that fit our ethos and want to become Americans, and only those who benefit our country and/or they marry an American and speak English. That means we want all illegal immigration stopped by arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. We deport all illegal aliens by taking their jobs away and as we catch them. We want English mandated as our national language. We demand a cessation of Muslim immigration in order to protect our culture, language and way of life. We can’t save the world but we can destroy our civilization. We demand a stable population that allows everyone to live, work and thrive into the 21st century. Especially our children.”

    YES! YES! YES! SHUT IT DOWN NOW!

    We need at least a 10 Year Moratorium on Immigration to stop illegal immigration, remove illegal aliens from the country and reset the legal immigration system so what's happening to the United States never ever happens again. Anyone who believes we need the equivalent of a new San Antonio, that has a population of about the number of legal immigrants admitted to the US annually on green cards and H Visas, every single year populated with "legal" immigrants is out of their minds. We have 70 million Americans on Medicaid, up from 49 million just 6 years ago.

    For UPS to put any age on hiring is age discrimination. If a 53 year old is capable of doing the job, and most are, then that person actually has far more experience, knowledge, wisdom and qualifications than someone who is 18 or 20. In fact, there is a federal law that prohibits just what you've described. Of course, the managers who told your friend that are probably only 20 themselves and weren't born when this law was passed and don't know about it. Send this link to your friend and tell them to file a complaint against UPS with the Department of Labor and also find a reporter who would report the story anonymously. Your friend won't want his name in the newspaper since it might affect other employment opportunities since a lot of employers would consider this being a trouble-maker.

    Equal Employment Opportunity
    Age Discrimination

    Age Discrimination

    Laws & Regulations on This Topic
    The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Act, which applies to all ages, permits the use of certain age distinctions and factors other than age that meet the Act's requirements. The Age Discrimination Act is enforced by the Civil Rights Center.


    The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions or privileges of employment. The ADEA is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).


    Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) prohibits discrimination against applicants, employees and participants in WIA Title I-financially assisted programs and activities, and programs that are part of the One-Stop system, on the ground of age. In addition, WIA prohibits discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, political affiliation or belief, and for beneficiaries only, citizenship or participation in a WIA Title I-financially assisted program or activity. Section 188 of WIA is enforced by the Civil Rights Center.
    Where is the ACLU on this? Where is Judicial Watch? Where are the Unions? Age discrimination may be a huge problem in our country right now with all the DREAMers lining up at the job applicant door with their "work permits" from Obama.
