Part 8: What America Will Look Like In 2050—quality of life degraded

By Frosty Wooldridge
 
Part 8: Quality of life degraded
 
At the current rate of immigration, America faces 100 million more people from all around the world by 2050—37 scant years from now.  That equals to 20 of our most populated cities being duplicated into 20 more of them.  That means 100 million more people to water, feed, house, transport, warm and work. It means accelerated environmental devastation to our natural world.
 
That kind of demographic addition means those people face smooching, smashing and cramming into every nook and cranny of our already bursting concrete jungles, skyscrapers, walls of glass, gridlocked traffic and air-polluted cities that crush the human spirit.
 
New York City may look pretty on the television with a colorful light-filled skyline at night, but it’s not pretty in reality.  It houses 8.3 million people smashed onto subways all day long. The Big Apple faces gridlocked streets and highly toxic air pollution.  The “City that Never Sleeps” features 250 square foot
apartments, the size of two car parking spaces, for couples that cost a fortune.  Within 36 years, it faces from 2 to 5 million more people added to its burgeoning concrete jungles.
 
It means that every person breathing every minute of every day inhales toxic air with every breath.  New York City and all cities of enormous sizes encase people in concrete, glass and steel 24/7.  Their feet never touch the green Earth or enjoy a forest full of trees.  They never see deer, elk, eagles or fox.  Humans living in huge cities lose connection with the wilderness.  In the end, they lose connection with themselves.
 
They drink contaminated water, breathe dirty air, get lost on crowded sidewalks, and they face spiritual and emotional duress.  They also face fear from violence on the subways, alleyways and waterfronts.  Notice CSI New York, or Miami, or Los Angeles crime shows.  They showcase a lot of crazy people committing  senseless crimes to unlucky people piled on top of one another. Last month in New York City, one woman pushed a man onto the tracks of a subway train: killed him instantly.   Big cities foster the most aberrant behavior seen in humans.  The bigger the city, the more aberrant the crimes.
 
John Muir said, “Tell me what you will of the benefactions of city civilization, of the sweet security of streets—all as part of the natural up-growth of man towards the high destiny we hear so much of.  I know
That our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found. If the death exhalations that brood the broad towns in which we so fondly compact ourselves were made visible, we should flee as from a plague. All are more or less sick; there is not a perfectly sane man in San Francisco.”
 
For example: along with gridlocked traffic in my area of Denver, Colorado, we house 2.5 million people.  Everyday, we suffer an average of 24 accidents on our bumper-to-bumper highways.  You could get killed going to or from work.  On weekends, trying to travel into the mountains gets you backed up for three or more hours on what used to take an hour.  Returning from a skiing or camping weekend on I-70 and most other roads exasperates everyone and ruins the weekend.  To think that mass immigration will flood Colorado with another 5, 10 and 20 million more people!   It’s nuts folks! Totally and completely crazy!
 
In Denver and most big American cities, you see bagmen, bag ladies, the lost and forgotten, homeless and drunks everywhere.  You see trash flying around the streets from all the dispossessed who toss it everywhere.  Denver’s Platte River runs with bottles, cans, plastics and junk from a never-ending source of humans that don’t care.
 
Every week in Denver, any number of people shoot, stab or run over someone.  If you go to a small city of less than 5,000, you don’t hear of a traffic accident or murder for years.
 
As we immigrate ourselves into a human pile-up, our quality of life degrades.  We who work must pay for welfare services for all those who can’t, won’t, unskilled or are unable to work.  By injecting ourselves with another 100 million immigrants from third world countries, we culturally face becoming a schizophrenic society.
 
The term “quality of life” indicates the general well-being of people and societies. A person’s environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation, social well-being, freedom, human rights and happiness also remain significant factors.
 
By adding 100 million more immigrants to this country, which guarantees our cities explode beyond human imagination—do you think the above paragraph or the American Dream can withstand the migrant onslaught?
 
One look at Chicago’s “Murder capital of America” statistics; Detroit’s welfare wasteland and thousands of burned out city blocks; Miami’s immigrant Central American underworld; Houston’s endless traffic; Denver’s 24/7 smog; Atlanta’s sweltering smoke billowing from its expressways, Los Angeles’ daily traffic-smog nightmare and track-housing packing Americans into monopoly-board-misery lacks any semblance to “Quality of Life.”
 
If we fail to stop mass legal and illegal immigration, we guarantee a miserable future for all Americans of every race, creed and color.
