Ayup... no need to close our doors, just have to make sure the right ones come through that's all.
When you have a scarcity of natural resources (ex. oil, gasoline, fresh water, arable land, etc) ,there ARE NO RIGHT ONES.
When you have a scarcity of jobs, with 20 million of your people unemployed, there ARE NO RIGHT ONES.
When you have traffic congestion, pollution, overcrowded schools , etc, there ARE NO RIGHT ONES.
etc., etc.
There is no shortage of anything in this country, none. Further, as has been discussed literally DOZENS OF TIMES, most people who produce produce more than they consume, I know you were an exception, but most good men and women pull their weight. That you think good men and women can't pull their weight by producing more than they consume, really just points out how much of a failure you must have been in Economics.
EVERYBODY (including YOU) KNOWS there are shortages of arable land, fresh water, oil, gasoline, and everything that the US IMPORTS. If there was enough of these lesser known resources, they wouldn't have to be imported. Get it ?
US imports are:
1.
Gallium is at 94 percent,
2.
Cobalt and
Titanium 81 percent,
3.
Chromium 56 percent,
4.
Silicon 44 percent and
5.
Nickel 43 percent.
These minerals are critical for defense and energy technologies, and many high-tech consumer products.
We are also heavily dependent on foreign countries for 19 minerals, mainly
rare earth minerals. Few of us are familiar with
rare earth minerals, such as
neodymium,
samarium and
dysprosium, but they are crucial in the manufacture of jet fighter engines, antimissile defense systems, night vision goggles and smart bombs, among other advanced military systems. And they have many other high-tech applications — computers, cell phones and flat-panel televisions, for example. Additionally, they are essential to petroleum refining, automotive catalytic converters, wind turbines and electric vehicles.
Making matters worse is that the foreign production of rare earth minerals is concentrated almost entirely in a single country with its own rising industrial demand:
China.
The US shortage of rare earth minerals is especially worrisome, since the imports are needed for supply. Disruptions in supply like the one in 2007 when China halted shipments of rare earth metals to a U.S. petroleum refining company for so long that it led to concerns that the cutoff might cause a nationwide gasoline shortage. In 2010, following a skirmish over fishing rights in the East China Sea, China cut off shipments of certain rare earth minerals to Japan.
And because of our shortage of critical resources, our industries pay a steep price for China's near monopoly position on many critical resources. Costs soared two years ago after China reduced its export quotas for the minerals. For example, the price of
lanthanium oxide, a mineral used in refining petroleum, rose from $5 per kilogram in early 2010 to $35 per kilogram by mid-year and $140 per kilogram in June 2011. Such market power, if not addressed soon and effectively, could harm the U.S. economy and national security.
And guess what does exactly the opposite of addressing these market problems ? Not a hard question. IMMIGRATION. That's what. The more people we have here, the more consumption takes place, and the more resources (of everything) we need. GET IT ???
Reducing our population isn't the only thing that can help this bad situation, but it surely is one thing that can, and increasing the population makes this situation WORSE.
Dangerous dependence: US increasingly beholden to imported raw material - Energy and the Environment - AEI
I don't recall ever even mentioning race, except to say that non-white immigrants' job seeking, places whites at even further disadvantage, because of affirmative action (which happens to be a TRUE FACT, and is in no way, racist or bigoted))
