I’m a little confused by the response of Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope to columnist Georgie Anne Geyer’s concerns about overpopulation (Voice, March 25).
Mr. Pope says the “crux of the problem is too many people, not their whereabouts.” He doesn’t see as a problem “too many people” coming to an already overpopulated country? Does his organization have statistics suggesting that we will have no problem in assimilating the 500 million people that demographic experts predict will be living here by 2050?
For a long time, this country has been known as the “Breadbasket to the World.” I strongly urge the rest of the world to either rethink their farming methods or find an alternative food source because at today’s annual immigration rate (900,000-plus legal), we’ll be lucky to feed ourselves, much less others.
