A White Hispanic Reader Writes On Immigration And The Energy Apocalypse

From: Zachary Moitoza
How come you never argue that we need to end immigration on energy grounds? We are running out of energy, and the recession will never end as a result. Soon, we will be living like the Amish.
We already have too many people, too many mouths to feed as it is. Every calorie of food we eat is the result of ten calories of fossil fuels being burned. Both economic growth and population growth must reverse.
Here’s my proof about this. Just listen to what the U.S. military has to say about it, we need to end these neocon resource wars. See The Guardian: US military warns oil output may dip causing massive shortages by 2015, April 11, 2010.

It’s the kind of thing we try not to take sides on. What we do know for certain is that people in the Third World use less energy than people in America, and when you move people from the Third World to America, their carbon footprint goes up.
People frequently say Americans use a lot more resources than people in other countries. This is true, but it also applies to people who aren’t Americans, but who are resident in America, such as a Mexican illegal alien in the US driving a gas-guzzling Ford pickup.
