Sustainable Immigration Newsletter
“How big do we want to be?” Mass immigration is the determining factor in the size of our country, the amount of infrastructure that must be built, resources to be used, and quality of life that we live.

Mass Immigration Is Pushing Right Whales Toward Extinction
The right whale is struggling to survive because of ongoing ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. With only about 380 left, right whales are one of the most endangered animals on Earth.
A Growing Population, a Shrinking River
If current trends continue, the Colorado River system will lose its remaining resilience to withstand further dry periods. The combination of declining flows and rising demand threatens the region’s rivers, wetlands, fish, and wildlife.
Mass Immigration is Pushing Wildlife to the Margins
Wildlife conflicts are not as much the result of animals encroaching on humans, but of people expanding into wildlife space. Human population growth narrows migration corridors, reduces buffer zones, and displaces habitat. As a result, encounters that once would have occurred deep in forests or remote valleys now happen in neighborhoods and school zones.
DC’s Main Sewer Overwhelmed by Immigration-Driven Growth
From an infrastructure perspective, total wastewater load rises as population increases. The duration of high-flow stress, peak flows during wet weather, and cumulative fatigue on aging pipes all increase, reducing safety margins. As pipes approach — and sometimes exceed — their operating limits, sewer systems become more vulnerable to structural failures.
Reduced Immigration Helps to Lower Rents
A pronounced slowdown in net immigration (legal and illegal) has slowed population growth, eased housing demand, and made rents more affordable in several markets.
Salt Pollution Is Another Cost of Unsustainable Immigration
Road salt causes long-term water contamination. Mass immigration expands roads and salt use. Population growth makes the damage unavoidable.
End Mass Immigration Policies in 2026
The border is secure and illegal migration is down. So, do we still need to be concerned about immigration? The answer is an emphatic yes.
Clean Air is Losing Ground to Population Growth
For decades after the Clean Air Act (1970), new emission standards, cleaner fuels and technological innovations brought steady air quality improvements to America’s metro regions. But those gains have since stalled, as population growth, with its traffic expansion and rising energy demands, overwhelms the benefits of air pollution controls.
