States With High Immigration Rates First to Face Critical Water Shortages

https://www.numbersusa.com/sendfax


Water scarcity in the Western part of the country will be a pressing issue  predicts the General Accounting Office, and population growth fueled by high levels of immigration are partly to blame. The GAO issued a report warning that at least 36 states could face water shortages. But, states have been dealing with chronic water shortages for years with California, New Mexico and Arizona topping the list- proving that conditions are worse than the GAO's  predictions.
Drought conditions, an ever-drying Colorado River, and rapid population growth fueled by immigration in the West is to blame for the water scarcities. A report by Columbia University predicts the Colorado River will lose 10 percent of its water flow over the next thirty years. Currently, this river supplies water to 40 million people living in America's West.
Population growth in these western states will occur faster than growth in other areas of the country, with high immigration numbers feeding the rapid growth. Nineteen of the 26 states that grew faster this year compared to last year are located in the South and Western regions.
California has the highest number of new green card recipients annually, with 2.2 million new green card recipients over the last decade. It also has the highest illegal-alien population in the country, estimated at 2.8 million. Arizona has the 9th largest illegal alien population and takes in 20,000 new green card recipients each year.

California Governor Signs Bill Giving Illegal Aliens Access to Driver's Licenses


posted on NumbersUSA

Gov. Jerry Brown

Today, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill (AB 60) that allows illegal aliens to apply for driver’s licenses. The California Department of Motor Vehicles estimates 2 million illegal aliens could apply for licenses under the new law.



Brown had opposed such legislation during his 2010 campaign but changed his mind several months ago when the U.S. House did not rush to endorse the Senate-passed amnesty bill. Speaking at the bill signing, Brown said, “This bill will enable millions of people to get to work safely and legally. Hopefully, it will send a message to Washington that immigration reform is long past due.”



The new licenses, which will not be valid for federal identification purposes, are expected to be issued starting Jan. 1, 2015. But the California DMV must first settle on a design that will not violate the federal REAL ID Act. That Act does not bar states from issuing licenses to illegal aliens but such licenses must be sufficiently differentiated from standard licenses.



AB 60 suggests the following wording for the back of the special license: “This card is not acceptable for official federal purposes. This license is issued only as a license to drive a motor vehicle. It does not establish eligibility for employment, voter registration or public benefits.” The front of the special license, however, would be identical to a standard license except that it would use the abbreviation “DP” (driving privileges) instead of “DL” (driver’s license).



Illegal-alien advocates had lobbied for years to get licenses for illegal aliens. A ban on licenses was initially imposed in 1993. In 2003, Gov. Grey Davis signed a bill that gave illegal aliens access to licenses but Californians voted to recall him later that year. Shortly after his election, Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that re-instated the ban. He went on to veto several bills like AB 60 during his tenure.



Before Oct. 13th, Brown must consider several other pro-illegal alien bills that passed the state legislature including AB 4, which would bar state and local police from holding illegal aliens for deportation under the federal Secure Communities program unless they have been convicted of certain crimes, and AB 1024, which would enable illegal aliens to practice law.

ACORN, HuffPo Organizing Efforts to Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties to Shape Media Coverage

By Jeff Poor (Bio Archive)April 7, 2009

Acts of protest tend to be synonymous with the left and are usually considered unsurprising on the right. However, when conservatives demonstrate - liberals take notice in a big way.
On Fox News Channel's April 7 "Your World," host Neil Cavuto reported that the Tax Day tea party protests on April 15 will be "infiltrated" by their political opponents and led by left-wing activist organizations. He specifically named Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

"Only eight days before a nationwide tea party, some over-caffeinated crashers aiming to lay waste to it," Cavuto said. "Reports of very well-organized infiltrators trying to mix in and rain on this parade. Talk about taxing."

One organizer, Mark Meckler of the Sacramento Tea Party, dismissed the counter efforts and said they were to be expected.
"We don't take them seriously at all, and I'll tell you why," "It's not that they don't exist - we expect people to attempt to infiltrate," Meckler said. "We expect people to attempt to disturb what we are doing, but the reality is that this is a very broad-based grassroots movement. There is no leader at the top. There is no individual event that they can disturb that would cause us a problem nationwide."
Meckler explained that everyone was invited - even if they come to promote a philosophy that runs counter to what the tea party movement is attempting to convey.
"So also, the people - we trust the grassroots," Meckler continued. "We know, the people are skeptical of anyone approaching at these events, and we believe that people are going to handle it well. And in fact, we invite everybody to come to our events. We don't care if they are from ACORN, The Huffington Post or the Daily Kos. We want them all there. We're excited to have them attend."
In fact, The Huffington Post has even set up a Web site for so-called citizen journalists to infiltrate the protests.
"The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible," Arthur Delaney wrote for The Huffington Post on April 7. "If you think you'd be interested in attending one of the Tea Parties and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. We'll contact you shortly with further instructions."
If you sign-up, you receive an automated message from Matthew Palevsky, the Huffington Post's associate editor of citizen journalism.
"Thanks for becoming a Tea Party Reporter," the e-mail from Palevsky says. "This e-mail is just a quick confirmation that we have received your contact info and will email you our plans during the coming week. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Whether they be questions, suggestions or story ideas, share them with us at submissions+ideas@ huffingtonpost.com."

John O'Hara, organizer of the Chicago Tea Party said he wasn't worried either about these sorts of efforts and specifically named ACORN, calling them out of touch with mainstream America.
"Neil, I'm not worried about it at all," O'Hara said. "This is a genuine grassroots movement. If ACORN wants to send some of their paid, pretend activists to show up - that's fine. They don't have a message that resonates with the American people or resonates with this broad coalition that's upset with this spending that's going on in Washington."
Cavuto explained the early reports of the "so-called infiltration plan" were an attempt to make it look like fringe-group efforts and in some case appears as a "racist undertaking."
"The people understand what these movements are about," Meckler said. "The people who are involved understand that they're not racist. They are not fringe. They're not even partisan. I mean, these are events where we have people across the board - Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, liberals, Libertarians - you name it."
