Immigration rally marches across downtown Dallas

by Laura Seewoester

The march drew a small crowd, young and old.

A small crowd of +/- 100 marched from the Cathedral Guadalupe Church downtown to Dallas City Hall Thursday in support of immigration reform. At first there seemed to be more media than attendees until the bullhorn's blared and the crowd came to fruition. Participants ranged from young children to senior citizens, winding through downtown during rush hour. While the crowd paled in comparison to the rally in 2006 that drew thousands, their voices were heard by every media outlet (in English and Spanish).

Too many people competing for limited resources has never been considered sound economic, environmental, social or cultural policy. Virtually every industrialized country, even China and Mexico, has taken steps to end illegal immigration, and too curtail legal immigration to only that which is prudent, demonstrably necessary, and above all other concerns, in the best interests of their native population. Its dangerously misguided to assert that the United States should not do likewise!

Given that we are a population stable nation (American Citizens die and are replaced in proportion by births to American Citizens) our population will never be any smaller than it is today. Arguments that there will be a shortage of workers are based on self intersted business models, and outmoded, unsustainable social security and entitlement programs, and do not reflect the reality of a country experiencing energy, water and food shortages.
