Congress pushes 100,000 legal immigrants onto the American landscape every 30 days. It’s killing our country. America flat out doesn’t need any more immigrants. We need: “Immigration Shutdown Now”.

Sen. Ted Kennedy, one of the chief architects of the 1965 Immigration Act, said: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause Americans to lose their jobs.” (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965)

In reality, Kennedy's bill flooded America with a net gain of 100,000,000 (million) immigrants who fled their countries because of lack of water, food, housing and resources—all caused by human overpopulation as the third world grows by 80 million net gain annually. That same bill expects to add another 100 million legal immigrants within 35 years—by 2050. Reality: such numbers cannot be sustained as to water, energy and resources. Toss in accelerated fossil fuel burning, which warms our oceans with carbon overload, which then causes climate destabilization and drought---we humans face "The Perfect Storm."

Do you “feel” our dilemma? Do you see your community faltering with consequences as more and more immigrants disrupt your culture, language and quality of life? You can bet Americans living in New York City with 40 percent foreign born, which creates linguistic and educational chaos feel it; and Detroit, Michigan with an accelerating Muslim population that creates cultural separation feel it; or Los Angeles with a predominate Mexican population and the changing of English into Spanish—can feel it, see it and flee it.

If you don’t see the cultural and linguistic consequences, you will or your children will feel the “sheer population numbers” of another 100 million immigrants within 30 years.

We face water shortages that will become irreversible and unsolvable along with energy and resource consequences. It’s coming unless we become involved. Why do I know? After having traveled all over the third world on my bicycle, I witnessed it up close and ugly. We don’t want our country to turn into another overpopulated third world civilization. Once it manifests, it cannot be corrected or escaped.

The Cassandra metaphor stems from a term applied in situations which valid warnings or concerns face disbelieve or dismissal at the time. The term originates in Greek Mythology. Cassandra, daughter of Priam, King of Troy found herself the object of Apollo’s romantic advances. Apollo provided Cassandra with the gift of prophecy. When she refused his advances, Apollo placed a curse on her ensuring that nobody would believe her warnings. Cassandra enjoyed the gift of knowledge of future events, but could neither alter those events nor convince others of her validity of her predications.

Realize that you must do something if you hope to stop our fate. Your children deserve your passion for their futures.

We need to stop virtually all immigration.
