Will Restricting Immigration Protect the Environment?
Posted using ShareThis
Great post today by Amy Mehta on the Imagine 2050 website. I wholeheartedly agree that "blaming immigrants prevents wasteful Americans from taking ownership of their contribution to environmental pollution and degradation." It's easy to blame groups with no voting power because there is little or no retaliation from these groups.
Perhaps in a moment of life imitating art, this reminds me of "Much Apu About Nothing" episode of The Simpsons (Season 7, Episode 23) when the unreasonable bear tax (referred to by Lisa Simpson as "the smallest tax increase in history") had to be instituted because of illegal immigrants.
