    If you are so worried about population growth, what does it have to do with the claim that 42M people will cross the border?

    Seems like an odd time to worry about it.

    This country already is able to feed far more than ourselves, so food and whatnot is not a problem, unless the farms do crappy work, and make the environment worse.

    (BTW, the farming waste of water isn't because of population growth- it's just bad management- go look it up. California is the poster child of really bad water management, much for crappy farming reasons.)

    Regardless, it's funny that you whine about theoretical population growth during an immigration debate. So feel free to **** yourself right back. Pretty whiny, if you ask me.

      No, you whined about 42M people crossing the border, and are now hiding behind the worry of population growth. You are a POS, and we've all known it for a long time.

        I'm not overly concerned by the 42M people (and I had never even heard that number until someone posted it here). My concerns about population growth are not a reason to "turn them away" or build a stupid wall. Find anything I've said in my long posting history that's been anti-immigrant. You can't -- all I said was that i'm not excited by the prospect of a U.S. population of 400M+.

        I've been concerned about population growth for a very long time. The best thing we could do for the planet as humans is stop ****ing.

        most California agriculture is done in the desert and depends entirely on diverted water from the Colorado River. If you eat strawberries and lettuce in the winter, you're part of the problem (I certainly am). Desert agriculture to support the fresh fruit habit of 325M people certainly uses more water than it would with half our population

          I literally didn’t mention the 42m people once. All of my posts were exclusively about Maine.

            That's a really good point which I had never thought about before. The footprint of those 9M is far, far higher than it was in 1910 when we had 16 people to a room in the tenements.

              I'd never heard of Hickel. From his Wikipedia entry he sounds like he was one helluva guy.

                Uh, again, I suggest you look into that statement. Yes, there is desert farming in California, but it's not what feeds the majority of farms in California, and it's not the majority of farms in California. That's the San Joaquin Valley, who gets most of their water from Northern California.

                Yes, there is desert grown lettuce, but far more of it is grown in the central valley that is fed from the north. Yes, there are strawberries grown in the desert, but, again, much of that is grown in the central valley, and northern watered.

                And the core water problem for California is really bad water control in the central valley. And is the core reason why Northern California wants to be their own state.

                If you really want to help take water pressure off of California, then grow more in Maine. Just like we should grow more in Michigan. We both have plenty of water, and growing more will take summer pressure off of California. And farming more in Michigan and Maine = more people moving to each state.

                Finally, here in Michigan, we get strawberries from Florida. Why are you getting them from California? That seems pretty stupid.

                either way, what you are so worried about has nothing to really do with the current immigration debate. Population grows- that's how it works. We have to learn how to deal with it. Whether it happens in Mexico or Maine, it's the same global effect.

                        He's been pumping the handcart to hell ever since daddy gave him all that money. You know the "small loan".

                        Trump claimed he turned a 'small' $1 million loan from his father into an empire. The New York Times says it was more like $60.7 million in loans.

                          We're not and we actually haven't been for along time. The Soviets stole our crown for environmental destruction in the '60s; the Chinese stole it from the Russians in the '90s, and the Indians (dot) stole it from the Chinese in the '10s.

                          The Indians are probably going to hold it for a long, long time.

                            It's not just about pollution. Add all the factors together and we're leading the pack.

                              It’s hard to quantify who is the worst, but we’re certainly part of the problem and not part of the solution.

                                Not hard to quantify at all. Our entire system is based on greed. Nothing kills the planet faster than that.
