Hi. My name is John Brainard and I'm the editor of The EarthDirectory.Net Network and the writer of this blog. Due to the stress on the American environment from the 328 million people that are already here (see here for some examples), it's necessary to work to keep the population of the USA from ever going over half a billion people. This requires moderation of immigration because immigration is now the main driver of population growth in the country. Most people don't realize that at our current yearly level of population growth, the USA will have over one-half billion people by the year 2100. That's within the lifetimes of some of today's kids. Current polls show that a large majority of Americans do not want immigration levels increased, yet various business and immigration lobbies continually put tremendous pressure on the Congress to increase U.S. immigration levels. The American electorate needs to be educated on this situation and on what its options are regarding immigration. No environmental problem in American is improved by continuing to increase the population of the United States.
This blog is the companion site to the website entitled Democrats for Reasonable and Responsible Immigration (DRRI)[now archived 5/22/2023]. Its purpose is to provide information regarding the topic of immigration reduction, information which is often not available to the public via the predominant media outlets in America.
