re: #502 Bagua

The mechanics of how the situation in Haiti could be improved, or how resettlement would work is worthy of discussion. However, the underlying premise of responsibility is key to this as there would be no public support for measures that would actually work unless US responsibility was acknowledged. And rightly so, I do not advocate these sorts of measures for population in the world who are suffering where the US was not a primary cause of that suffering.

Should that prerequisite occur there is a large task, but surely not an impossible task, especially if France, Germany and England met their share of the obligation.

As to the actual numbers, there are more illegal aliens said to be in the US than the entire population. The resettlement of even a few million would have a dramatic impact if it was coupled with reconstruction on the Island and the expat also send money home. It is a big problem but not an impossible problem.

There are some 350+ million people in the USA. You think 175 million + are illegal?

I know you mean well, but you’re out of touch with realities and the really sad thing is that this planet cannot indefinitely provide space and everything else that goes with it, when a specie’s population exceeds the capacity of the land to support it.

Malthus was wrong in his age, but he will likely be right in ours.
