As you share and discuss, remind people that without reductions in immigration, the United States is projected to add 79 million more people by 2060, according Census projections.

If we continue to add one million permanent immigrants every year, Census projects the U.S. to add 79 million more people by 2060.

This is something Congress decides.
Congress can lower immigration numbers for a less-congested future.
Congress is selling you out
Congress has betrayed you
Congress is trading you for non assimilating ignorant, low information immigrant Scumbags and useless eaters !

Some in Washington, D.C. are calling for even higher levels of immigration. Some wealthy elites are insulated from traffic and congestion, but as Joe Guzzardi writes, "for most of us, more people means we'll have to deal with more cars and buses that will hit the road, generating more traffic and inevitably more sprawl."

The Center for Immigration Studies examined the Census projections and found that 95 percent of U.S. population growth will be a result of immigration policy.

In a panel discussion about the report, lead author Dr. Steven Camarota cited a 2004 Brookings Institute report, "Traffic: Why It's Getting Worse, What Government Can Do," which stated: "The most obvious reason traffic congestion has increased everywhere is population growth."

Ian Snively covered the panel discussion and reports back that while it will cost trillions of dollars to pay for infrastructure to accommodate tens of millions more Americans, immigration doesn't significantly change the share of working-age Americans.

A few local stories about the congestion study:

Curbed, Chicago:

"On average Chicago's automobile commuters wasted 138 hours sitting in traffic last year, the study said. In terms of economic productivity (calculated by hours lost multiplied by average wage), traffic back-ups cost $1,920 per driver in 2018."
WXPI, Pittsburgh:

"[Pennsylvania Turnpike] Drivers face an average delay of 18 minutes every day, which comes out to about 72 hours each year."
KATU, Portland:

"Portland drivers spend 116 hours each year sitting in traffic. This can cost a driver more than $1,600 a month based on gas and time lost."
SF Gate:

"San Francisco-area commuters who travel during peak hours lost an average of 116 hours due to congestion last year, according to the study. That equates to 4.83 days lost not commuting, but waiting for the cars in front of you to clear the road."
Seattle PI:

"the average Seattle driver lost 138 hours to congestion in 2018 -- or 5.75 days. According to INRIX, the cost of congestion for the city was $2.9 billion, or, on a per driver basis, $1,932."
The Denver Post:

"The average [Denver] driver traveling during peak commute times lost a cumulative 83 hours to congestion in 2018..."
Tampa Bay Times:

"A Tampa driver who commuted at the slowest time of day lost 87 hours last year in traffic. That's an 11 percent increase from 2017."
Columbus Dispatch, Ohio:

"[Columbus drivers] lost an average of 71 hours stuck in rush-hour congestion last year, and the Interstate 70/71 interchange Downtown is among the 100 worst bottlenecks in the country..."
Spread the word: Reduce immigration numbers for a less-congested future.

Yes you are probably right... in fact they dont give a damn about anything we petition or other.
This is why I focus so much on plans B, C and D and they know it.

They will start to get really worried when the Article V comes to town.

They are now beign exposed and identified publicly as T*****rs.
We need to push this message over the edge.

But Sici, you have to know this is no reason for an Executive Emergency Order, right? I mean these people are just coming here to better our way of life as well as their own. They mean us no harm, they only want to pick our oranges and strawberries for us. To help with the cattle herds, milking and feeding the cows. Someone has to pick almonds and you have to know that we Gringos are now above that because the little brown people will do that for us. Why in the world would we want to go bend over every day cutting cabbage, broccoli?

I've cut cabbage, I've cut broccoli, I've thrown stones onto a stone boat for 9 1/2 hours,(that was expected, my grandparents were feeding me and put a roof over my head) I've pick oysters in minus temps while up to my waist in icy water, I've spent hours pulling crab pots, and fish nets. I have tremors from scrapping boat bottoms painted with copper anti-fouling paint when I was 15-17 and dealing with the chemicals in water treatment plants. We have plenty of people who will do any of the jobs that are in this country; they just can't do it as cheaply because they can't get subsidized like the i******s can.

Sici, I hope you realize the first paragraph was tongue in cheek. The second is the honest to God t***h and that's only a part. I move to the Norfolk, Va. area in 1958, I was 8. Within a month I was cutting grass. In two months I was also carrying fishing gear including motors for people renting row boats for tips. Then I included a paper route and I was busing Doc's Bar and Grill while the guys were out fishing. Back then I was in charge of making sure the coolers were full of beer. Can you imagine that today? An 8-9 year old filling the beer coolers. By 11 I was running my bar Boss' 43' sport fisherman off shore, actually, they ran it out and because I wasn't drinking then, I would have to run it back. Easy peasy. Head due west until I could see land turn right and in a hour we were home. Got a bit dicey when it got foggy, then it's dead reckoning and pucker up buttercup.

My point is that I'm not unusual. America didn't become the GREATEST COUNTRY this world has ever seen because Americans are wimps and won't work or fight. That may apply to a degree today but I believe that's recent, past 20 years. I think that when TSHTF, they will come around. Mike

Noted and understood, I agree in part.
We’ve had this conversation many times here and I dont see enough action yet.
Time keeps passing and the damage is getting deeper.
Congress has sold you guys out.
Congress is a Criminal operation for a Foreign Criminal Enterprise on our land.

I need to see Trump do 3 specific things in 2019 or else.

As for the invasion, it continues 24/7 ... thousands keep crossing everyday.

I want Trump to announce and begin Mass Roundups and Deportations.
I want him to Revoke and overturn all citizenship of all past fraud, criminals, i******s etc...

We dont need more workers here, there aren’t enough jobs like they’re lying to you guys about.
Deporting 20million scumbags will make companies old and new compete for 95million True Descendants.
Wages will go up hugely
The economy will Boom again

I want these i******s, foreigners, muslims, non assimilators, Asians etc... scumbags off my land and Gone

These are the terms, they are non negotiable.
Trump knew this when we met with him, the Groups hold the Power.
Trump either delivers on his contract with Patriots or we’ll move forward with Plans B, C and D !

No one gets to decide this, they’re already in motion and no one can stop it.

Trump is the Final Lap before we fight, I pray he is who he says, but I’m having major doubts.
