For environmentalists, a growing split over immigration
Tagged: birth rate, children, population“The flow of people into the United States is troubling some environmentalists for two reasons. First, more Americans means more people living in one of the world’s most resource-consuming cultures. Second, there’s new evidence that Hispanic women who move to the US have more children than if they stayed put.
“We’ve got to talk about these issues – population, birth rates, immigration,” says Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which confronts whalers, seal hunters, and those who poach wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. “Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth. All we’re saying is, those numbers should be reduced to achieve population stabilization.”"
