Earth Day Fact Sheet: Mass Immigration is "Elephant in Room," Ignored by Most Environmental Groups
(April 20, 2018, Washington, D.C.) — While many of the nation's top environmental groups address overpopulation and openly acknowledge that it poses serious issues for the U.S., virtually all refuse to address the major engine that continues to drive U.S. population growth: Immigration. That's according to a new fact sheet released today by Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Enlightened public policy is crucial to protecting and managing the diverse and delicate ecosystems throughout the United States, but failing to acknowledge the impact of rampant immigration makes it nearly impossible. From 1965 to 2015, the United States population grew by 67 percent, according to Pew Research1. Nearly half of this growth – 47 percent – was fueled by immigration. The same study estimates that 88 percent of the population growth in the United States by 2065 will stem from immigrants and their decedents.
