As the Colorado River Dries Up, So Will America's Compassion for Migrants...is that Racism?

The following is excerpted from that Blog:

“The Trump voters gave Donald Trump a mandate when they elected him President; the mandate was to make the United States as UNATTRACTIVE as possible to migrants.

Why would they do that?

The Liberals believe that the motivation of the Trump voters was pure racism. This Blogger disagrees; the pure motivation for the mandate is pure mathematics.

”A third of adults in sub-Saharan Africa say they would like to migrate permanently. So would a fifth of Latin Americans and one in 10 South and East Asians, according to a Gallup World poll from 2010. About a quarter of these potential migrants — 145 million adults — would like to live in the United States…...NEW YORK TIMES.

….When do Liberals want to make America unattractive to migrants? After 60 million migrants have relocated here illegally? After 120 million? After 190 Million?

Now, when there are only 12 million illegal aliens, is the best time to make America unattractive to watching and hopeful migrants.

This campaign to demagnetize America as an attractive destination for the millions of migrants has caused and will cause cruel and inhumane  acts

… until the United States caps a ceiling on its population, which it must do to survive this era of Climate Change, it must do inhumane acts to make migration to America unattractive…THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”

Last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions echoed the need to demagnetize.

“We are sending a message worldwide; don't come illegally…JEFF SESSIONS.”

In response, once again the wail of racism echoed across Liberal land…is it racist for this Blogger, among others, to understand than 2018 America has too few resources and too many migrants to survive this migration at our present standard of living?

                                                                                             

”Washington • The “caravan” of asylum-seeking migrants that has finally arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border is a test of American character and purpose — a test that President Trump wants us to fail.

I put caravan in quotation marks because the group that reached Tijuana hardly qualifies for the term. Just a few dozen would-be entrants presented themselves at the Port of San Ysidro on Sunday — only to be told that U.S. immigration officials were too busy to attend to them…...

Trump has spoken of these people as if they were some kind of rampaging horde. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has accused them of “a deliberate attempt to undermine our laws and overwhelm our system.” The truth is that this sort of thing happens every year: Would-be migrants seek safety in numbers as they make the long and perilous trek north through Mexico.….I believe both are sincere in their desire to stanch the flow of Latino immigration — not, I strongly suspect, because of drugs or crime, but because they loathe the demographic and cultural change that is taking place.

….What seems to really drive the president crazy is that the United States remains a haven for those fleeing persecution. Trump laid out his complaint Saturday: “If a person puts their foot over the line, we have to take them into our country, we have to register them. We then have to ask them a couple of questions. Lawyers are telling them what to say. How unsafe they are. And once they say that, we have to let them go, to come back to court in like a year. Only one problem: they don’t come back, OK. That’s the end. Welcome to the United States.”

You will have noticed that missing from Trump’s rant is any sense of morality or mission….Eugene Robinson,….WASHINGTON POST.”

Mr. Robinson is behind the times, like all Liberals; he speaks of an America which has a fully packed Colorado snowpack. The lack of  fresh drinking water will make amoralists out of us all.

It does not take a racist to reach the Trump/Sessions’  opinion, all it takes is someone to look at the Colorado snowpack.

“Lake Mead is the country’s biggest reservoir of water. Think of it as the savings account for the entire Southwest. Right now, that savings account is nearly overdrawn. For generations, we’ve been using too much of the Colorado River, the 300-foot-wide ribbon of water that carved the Grand Canyon, supplies Lake Mead, and serves as the main water source for much of the American West.

The river sustains one in eight Americans — about 40 million people — and millions of acres of farmland. In the next 40 years, the region is expected to add at least 10 million more people, as the region’s rainfall becomes more erratic.

An especially dismal snowpack this past winter has forced a long-simmering dispute over water rights to the fore, one that splits people living above and below Lake Mead.….Big water users in the upper basin — Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque, among others — are also getting nervous because snowpack in the Rockies has been dwindling, and there’s no physical way for them to store the water they depend on. There are no big reservoirs in the Rockies.

….What’s happening could be seen as the slow death of an era of easy living, ....Over-reliance on the Colorado River has helped pave the way for rapid population growth across the region, from Southern California to Denver, which may now, ironically, begin to pose a threat to those same cities.

For many reasons, Arizona is last in line for the Colorado River’s water, and the state is already preparing for the mandatory restrictions that could be less than two years away. The latest official projections from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the federal agency that manages the Colorado River system, shows that Lake Mead is likely to dip below the critical threshold of 1,075 feet above sea level late next year. That could trigger the first official “call on the river” — a legally-mandated cutback for certain users aimed at avoiding an all-out free-for-all.

In Phoenix, a worst-case scenario is now looking more and more likely. In just a few years from now, if (or, when) Lake Mead dips below 1,075 feet, the city may find itself in a position where it stops building new subdivisions, the state’s agricultural economy comes crashing to a permanent halt, and a fit of well-drilling begins to deplete the local groundwater.

And then there’s always climate change. On the world’s current emissions trajectory, sharply warming temperatures boost the odds of a megadrought in the Southwest sometime later this century to more than 99 percent. Such a drought would last a generation. Nearly all trees in the Southwest could die. The scale of the disaster would have the power to reshape the course of U.S. history....….GRIST.”

The Liberal solution to the 99% coming megadrought is open borders. This Blogger considers that Panglossian madness.

This Blogger posits that it does not matter if you are a racist if you are RIGHT about WATER…..the snowpack should determine our immigration policy, not racism nor compassion. If Arizona has no water it should not take in refugees, migrants, illegal aliens or immigrants. Is that such a racist idea?

Climate Change has forced America to be less compassionate in its immigration policy, if that is racist, sobeit.
