english should be our official language

==AC== Premise 1: Resolution needed to establish an "us" and "them" mentality. The first step to reverse the evil of inclusivity is to establish the language by which we exclude people. Voting Pro on this topic allows the government to start excluding people from society. Premise 2: Immigrants will not want to come to the U.S. if they feel they are almost exclusively excluded from society. The us and them mentality is achieved from language and thus the US will start losing its "immigration magnet" status. The US needs to foster European nativism and xenophobia. Impact: This will solve US overpopulation US population & consumption levels are at the brink MOTAVALLI nov. 00 [Jim Motavalli, E: The Environmental Magazine, “Balancing ACT - population growth” <http://findarticles.com...] . The report noted that U.S. population was growing at a rate double that of Europe, putting in peril both economic objectives and the quality of the environment. 275 million is an unsupportable population for the U.S., a violation of the continent's carrying capacity. Imagine, then, those problems magnified by a doubling of the population. According to Jay Keller, national field director for Zero Population Growth, "Such a huge increase could be tremendously damaging. Even with the current population we have a lot of environmental challenges." . "The United States, by contrast, is still one of the great breadbaskets of the world." But that isn't likely to continue, as the U.S. loses 400,000 acres of farmland a year. Arable land is expected to be reduced from 400 million acres today to 290 million by 2050, when the population doubles. Among the threatened American assets are the $40 billion the U.S. makes through food exports. Illegal immigration bad- overpopulates the U.S. Jerry Kammer. 8-30-2007. Copley News Service Writer. Immigration fueling huge population jump, study warns, Copley News Service If flows of legal and illegal immigration continue at current rates, they will boost the population of the United States by 105 million by 2060, according to a study released here Thursday. That growth, coupled with births among current residents, would boost the nation's population to 468 million from its current level of 301 million, reported the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that advocates lower levels of immigration. "The central question these projections raise is - what costs and benefits come with having a much larger population and a more densely settled country," study author Steven Camarota said in a panel discussion that included both a leader in the effort to restrict immigration and a prominent advocate of expansive immigration policies. Net annual immigration is running at about 1.25 million persons, comprising some 800,000 legal immigrants and 450,000 illegal immigrants. Camarota's projections include growth only from future immigrants, not from the 38 million immigrants now in the United States. US overpopulation will spark massive deforestation, C02 emission, & environmental castarophes [Jim Motavalli, E: The Environmental Magazine, “Balancing ACT - population growth” <http://findarticles.com...] "The new population projections ... conjure images of twice as many cars jostling for position on the highways and twice as many shoppers crowding the aisles at Wal-Mart," the Associated Press reported. And that's one way of looking at it. The prospect of a billion Americans, however remote, is certainly alarming enough to take seriously. The environmental impact of a quadruple population increase is difficult to imagine, but imagine it we must. Bob Engelman, vice president for research at Population Action International, gives this discouraging scenario: "It's very hard to even think about the flow of natural resources necessary to sustain a billion Americans living the way they live today. There would be severe and almost unimaginable strains. For example, each American generates five tons of the global warming gas carbon dioxide ([CO.sub.2]) each year, so that would mean five billion tons from the U.S. alone, with dire consequences for the climate. There would definitely not be enough water, particularly in places like southern California, Nevada and south Florida. Food security would be a major issue, because urban sprawl would take away much of our remaining prime farmland. Forests could not possibly be stable with that level of population. Major biodiversity would also be lost: 95 percent of the country's endangered plants are in just three states, California, Florida and Hawaii, which have the highest population growth rates."
