Immigration Problem

            
             The world has gone through a revolution and it has changed a .
             We have cut the death rates around the world with modern medicine .
             and new farming methods. For example, we sprayed to destroy mosquitoes .
             in Sri Lanka in the 1950s. In one year, the average life of everyone .
             in Sri Lanka was extended by eight years because the number of people .
             dying from malaria suddenly declined.
             This was a great human achievement. But we cut the death rate .
             without cutting the birth rate. Now population is soaring. There were .
             about one billion people living in the world when the Statue of .
             Liberty was built. There are 4.5 billion today. World population is .
             growing at an enormous rate. The world is going to add a billion .
             people in the next eleven years, that's 224,000 every day! Experts say .
             there will be at least 1.65 billion more people living in the world in .
             the next twenty years.
             We must understand what these numbers mean for the U.S. Let's .
             look at the question of jobs. The International Labor organization .
             projects a twenty-year increase of 600 to 700 million people who will .
             be seeking jobs. Eighty-eight percent of the world's population growth .
             takes place in the Third World. More than a billion people today are .
             paid about 150 dollars a year, which is less than the average American .
             earns in a week. And growing numbers of these poorly paid Third World .
             citizens want to come to the United States.
             In the 1970s, all other countries that accept immigrants .
             started controlling the number of people they would allow into their.
             countries. The United States did not. This means that the huge numbers .
             of immigrants who are turned down elsewhere will turn to the United .
             States. The number of immigrants is staggering. The human suffering .
             they represent is a nightmare. Latin America's population is now 390 .
             million people. It will be 800 million in the year 2025. Mexico's .
             population has tripled since the Second World War. One third of the .
             population of Mexico is under ten years of age, as a result, in just .
