Foreign-Born Population In The U.S. Has Dropped An Astounding 1 Million In Only 6 Months....A Major Reason For Trump's Horrible Job Numbers

Oh....you pretend to care about the environment? After Trump's ongoing destruction of the EPA?

What a ****ing joke.
Yes, I am very dedicated to the environment, and the fact is, what he's doing - whether it's unintentional or not - is exactly what is needed. In order to make the environment a primary concern to America, we have to bring it home to Americans, to their states, where they have first hand experience of the ramifications of ignoring the need for clean water and loss of habitat, loss of natural surroundings and what it means to live in toxic filth or not. People will in short order, fix it if needed on a state level because it's urgent. Whereas, the federal government is far too concerned with political posturing to give grass roots much credence, albeit federal bureaucrats are oh so eager to take credit when some small advance is made, despite the fact that they didn't have a thing to do with it. The federal government has consistently failed environmental concerns and that's BOTH PARTIES. The BLM is another joke, and it's an obscene joke at that
 
The OP is about illegal aliens
I know he used the word illegal, but that isn't what the article is actually about.

If you had bothered to check out the article, or even the study it's referencing, you'd have known that already. But you just saw the word "illegal" and got triggered.

Just how is by responding "Good" considered being triggered in your liberal playbook?

Give us an explanation with specifics.

No true environmentalist would ever vote for Trump. Trump wants clean alternative energy sources like wind and solar to be eradicated so that his rich oil and gas buddies have no competition. This is one of the worst aspects of the Big Ugly Bill.

That's a load of CRAP. You wouldn't know what the environmental battles are in earnest right now if you fell over them. Your Trump obsession is merely a cover for your seriousness regarding the issue, and worse, a deliberate impediment to any progress sincere environmentalists can make. People like you are the problem because you're whiners, without another thought in your head but your own selfish hate infested interests

What you're saying in nothing but crap.

You expect us to believe you care about the environment when you support Trump and his crusade against clean energy?

Yeah....**** that bullshit.

I think that's because your sole concern in this universe is Trump. The environment doesn't even come close to your priority. Your priority is making stupid, petty derogatory statements about Trump. People seriously working on environmental concerns and solutions are light years beyond your "objective"
 
Trump and MAGAs love being tough on brown people, but it comes with a steep price. The simple fact is that Trump is hurting the economy with his brutal war on illegal immigrants.

From the article below. --

The president’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including workplace raids like the one at a Hyundai plant in Georgia on Friday, is driving down the availability of foreign-born workers, which also weighs on hiring. Over the first six months of the year, the nation’s foreign-born population fell by more than 1 million, according to the Pew Research Center.

Trump’s tougher immigration policy, coupled with the effects of societal aging, are reducing potential monthly job growth by more than 100,000 hires, according to Barclays.

Good only 10 million more to go.

The rest of your argument is essentially without the slaves who will pick the cotton.

More unserious, MAGA bullshit.....

It triggered your reflexive response about illegal immigrants, ensuring you'd never learn any actual facts about the situation.

This wasn't obvious to you?
 
The birth rate in the U.S. is 1.6 per woman. The rate required to maintain our population at the present level is 2.1 per woman. Let's discourage immigration.

Hey, how about we artificially inflate living expenses through tariffs and also cut back on every social safety program meant to protect women and children? Will that encourage people to have children?

You guys are the one with the obsession, constantly choosing Trump over the country.

Well....your racist fantasies are not going to achieve economic prosperity. Trump's tariffs have ruined all chance of that happening.

I just got done watching a video about the soybean farmers begging for a government handout because of the tariffs, and now I'm reading this.
 
In 2023, the population was 334 million. Now it's 342 million. That's 2 years. Does that strike you as wise, that rate of population increase??

When such a huge percentage of our population is made up of retirees or near-retirees...yes. We need people to support the older generations of Americans.
 
Good only 10 million more to go.
Then they'll move on to the next group. Do you think you're safe?

The rest of your argument is essentially without the slaves who will pick the cotton.
That's ridiculously incorrect. Slaves weren't paid. We're deporting the immigrants who stuck pigs. Do you think Anglos stuck pigs in 1860?

That's the proper analogy. Well, guess what, only 10,000,000 Anglo pig stickers to go. Line 'em up, move 'em out. Stick that funky pig white boy.

Oh bull, Heisenberg. I haven't seen a constructive, level-headed policy suggestion out of you in months. For you, it's all about your endless Hate Trump holiday. They should name a cruise ship after you: the "unsinkable" Heisenberg nonstop to - oops - just hit an iceberg
I just got done watching a video about the soybean farmers begging for a government handout because of the tariffs, and now I'm reading this.
They're BEGGING?? Why are they begging?? They don't have to beg. They get paid to not grow crops. All they have to do is sign the forms or put the fields in crp. Of course, if somebody would have said that, the video would have been over in 5 seconds
 
When such a huge percentage of our population is made up of retirees or near-retirees...yes. We need people to support the older generations of Americans.
No we don't. In less than five years, we'll have more than robo vacuums. We'll have robotic dusters and dog walkers. We're doing robotic surgeries now. We're not dependent on manual labor the way we were, and we'll be just fine taking care of the old folks because we'll have that down to a science, too
 
It's very much an issue. We can't afford population increases anymore, not environmentally, not materially, not in terms of wildlife habitat, not in terms of the economy, of energy usage and not in terms of overall quality of life. We need LESS, not more
Explain to us where economic growth is going to come from with a static or shrinking population? The growth needed to stop the country being bankrupted by its debt?

GDP growth can only come from - population growth, productivity growth, export growth, and deficit spending (more borrowing)

So what is Trump doing with each of those factors?

- Population growth - Trump is slowing this, or maybe even pushing towards a shrinking pop
- Productivity growth - Maybe some possibilities here with AI, but that has little to do with Trump
- Export growth - Trump has been busy screwing US export markets, and incoming tourism which is in effect also an export
- Deficit spending - The only possible contributor to GDP growth where Trump is actively adding to economic growth by borrowing extra $Trillions to fund his BBB. This is of course the one contributor to economic growth that we shouldn't be trying to increase!

GDP is going to come from technology. The "need bodies" meme is defunct. We no longer need to fill every natural crook and cranny with asphalt and section 8 housing to support overpopulation

Post #26

Despite the "urgency" you cite in Post #26, you tolerate the disinformation about the environment put out by trump's "federal government" and his "federal bureaucrats":


A group of more than 85 scientists have issued a joint rebuttal to a recent U.S. Department of Energy report about climate change, finding it full of errors and misrepresenting climate science.

This comes weeks after the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Environmental Defense Fund filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration that alleges that Energy Secretary Chris Wright "quietly arranged for five hand-picked skeptics of the effects of climate change" to compile the government's climate report and violated the law by creating the report in secret with authors "of only one point of view."
The DOE's Climate Working Group consisted of four scientists and one economist who have all questioned the scientific consensus that climate change is a large threat to the world and sometimes frame global warming as beneficial
.

The group of climate scientists found several examples where the DOE authors cherry-picked or misrepresented climate science in the agency's report. For instance, in the DOE report the authors claim that rising carbon dioxide can be a "net benefit" to U.S. agriculture, neglecting to mention the negative impacts of more heat and climate-change fueled extreme weather events on crops.

The DOE report also states that there is no evidence of more intense "meteorological" drought in the U.S. or globally, referring to droughts that involve low rainfall. But the dozens of climate scientists point out that this is misleading, because higher temperatures and more evaporation — not just low rainfall — can lead to and exacerbate droughts. They say that there are, in fact, many studies showing how climate change has exacerbated droughts.

...The Trump administration wants the government to stop regulating climate pollution. The DOE report was cited multiple times by the Environmental Protection Agency in its recent proposal to roll back what's known as the endangerment finding, which is the basis for rules regulating climate pollution, including from coal and gas-fired power plants, cars and trucks, and methane from the oil and gas industry....

NOT interested in a Trump bash. If you can get through a post without Trump bashing, sounding sincere and rationally concerned about the environment without all the partisan bs - because that's what it is - I'm interested. Government is not the solution to the environment. The solution is YOU and ME and everybody on this planet, which means having the will to put our money where our mouths are. When businesses are planet friendly, we buy. When they're not, we don't. That's how it works

Is all that technology going to kick in before or after the country is bankrupted by debt and slow growth? Or is it magically going to happen tomorrow? Remember when those new computers were going to make everyone redundant? How did that work out???

Worked out well. That's why everybody's sitting behind desks with their feet up getting fat at say, Google and Meta. And to answer your question, we're already fine. We'll be even better when that technology kicks in which will be ever so soon:
