Resources disappear, day by day,

All that we thought wouldn’t.

Yet new folks arrive anyway,

And spread thinner, what we didn’t.

Our strategic thinking has a flaw.

About numbers and being rational,

We must enforce immigration law,

For this growth is disproportional.

Reagan made a great mistake,

Paving way for millions to stay,

And other officials in his wake,

Failed to keep hordes at bay.

Some think amnesty will work.

Yes — in each alien chromosome, 

   Even higher growth rate will lurk,

As their kin stream here from home.     

As we think this thing through,

We know that fractions don’t lie

Population, a denominator true , 

Resources, the numerator we’ll try.

Fraction tells future, tells it best,     

Resources a-dwindle, look around,

Population exploding, a math test,

Dividend: lower unit value found. 

We’re hostage to a fertile world,

Hordes pour in without full hinder.

“Paperless society”’s being unfurled,    

By many an undocumented offender.

Note: From reading this one might think I am expressing an anti-Hispanic attitude. That is not correct. I observe many excellent qualities in this people. I am anti-growth in terms of human numbers. But it happens that Hispanic immigrants, legal and illegal, are responsible for an inordinate amount of U.S. population growth. I hold an anti-growth attitude toward all irresponsible citizens of the U.S. and the world who add more than their fair share to the earth’s burden of human population.  OctoMom (the woman who deliberately birthed fourteen babies with BTW welfare as her only means of support) is an extreme case in point. As far as I’m concerned the babies should be taken from her and she should be deported, if not to another country, then to a loony bin somewhere, along with the technicians who enabled her.
