Immigration wave linked to abortions
On Feb. 28, the Daily Herald ran a front page article warning us not to expect as many summer carnivals as in the past.
This is due to the short supply of low-wage Mexican workers now unavailable because the government has failed to increase the limit of H-2B temporary-worker visas.
How is it that the most powerful and economically dynamic country in the world is reduced to whining about circuses? Why are we dependent on the Third World to service our amusement needs?
A better question might be, where have all our young folks gone?
Since 1973, approximately 50 million American babies have been denied access to living in this great country. The rough math would indicate that about 12 million extra native born "casual laborers" are not here to work those temporary summer jobs (ages 15 to 22; the high school and college years) that past generations of Americans worked with vigor.
Abortion has many societal and moral effects, which we are now only beginning to study and quantify.
However, the economic effects are undeniable; if you don't grow your own producers and consumers, you have to import them.
Since the early 1980s we have imported almost 28 million legal and 12 million illegal immigrants -- empirically speaking, the largest wave in history. The eerie correlation to the abortion total is not a statistical anomaly.
The right course of remedy for us would be to re-instituteà policies that would encourage larger, stable, Mom and Dad families. This would greatly reduce our importation needs and would reinvigorate the American soul to secure the blessings of life and liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
Where have all our young folks gone? Gone to graveyards everyone. When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn.
