It is not effective as you yourself admitted here, and even before I do remember others already finding that and other logical flaws on your syllogism.
Also we already saw that your big example for number 2 failed to mention that the domestic immigration in Colorado was the mayor driver there.
Your retardation shows by thinking that posting something repeatedly you will get a different answer.
As for the other points that you show others you are too cowardly to deal with:
Lets look at the Heritage Foundation that was mentioned there, it is also an organization dedicated to seed doubts about AGW:
YouTube short Video
Anthony Watts was already mentioned in the rebuttal of your retarded idea that me or the environmentalists are going for a “One Child Policy”. What it needs to be pointed out here is that Climate Change Deniers also move and tell anti-immigrants what to do and say.
And it is yet another reason why I do not think that you have any concern for the environment.
b) US population growth (upwards 300 mill - projected 400 million + by 2050) is seen as a bad thing for the environment.
I mention the One Child Policy, because that is an alternative means of controlling population growth in the US. I don’t think that would be a good idea though.
“Tell me where Brown sees it that way or admit that you are grasping at straws.”
Then you just **repeated **your “logic”. That works alright, it works to show others that you only avoided the fact that Brown is just like the other environmentalists I have referred to in the past. The population is taken into account as a whole, and as immigrants are already included, immigrants can not avoid being inconvenienced also by the solutions that will come to deal with carbon emissions, city planning and population control.
When experts do not see the “obviousness” of a point from a layman, it is more likely that the layman is the one that it is wrong.
And the One Child Policy was a demonstrated straw man used by climate change deniers. And your insistence on its continuing use just shows all who you really are.
If you find a flaw in my reasoning please point it out.
Ting has mentioned above that immigration is a no-go zone. The reluctance is also discussed here. Not for logical reasons (indeed, I’ve shown you above it is a logical way to reduce population growth). But for political and social ones. The same ones that make it impossible for you to consider reducing immigration The same kind of reasons why you wouldn’t suggest capitalism to Stalin. It’s an ideological non-starter. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong, in fact it makes good sense.
It wont work Chump, you are avoiding telling us where Brown agrees with your “logic”. He was pointed by you as the best example of an expert environmentalists that agrees with your ideas so it should be easy to find the quote that agrees that immigration should be the focus. Foreign Immigration is not because it leaves 2 out of 3 persons off the hook. (This is because the fake environmentalists then do not lift a finger to do something about the environmental priorities Brown mentions) and when I read the passages regarding immigration, Brown is referring also to domestic immigration, concentrating on immigration will leave out a higher number of people that will not have to contribute to solve the problem of emissions.
And as advised before, you really do not know me. I’m on the record of being pragmatic first and an ideologist later. Pragmatically speaking, you are admitting that concentrating on immigrants in relation to ecological issues will not be easy.
And once again, if it was logical, Brown, as the recognized expert, would had dignified your “logic” by mentioning it at least in his books.
And as he still thinks it can be ignored, this thread is also about the connections climate change deniers have with anti-immigrants. I already knew of the Heritage Foundation and their AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) denial efforts. I was not much aware that they also had it for immigrants. As mentioned before, their main efforts now are to discredit science to then allow industry to continue polluting.
Getting people to ignore doing something about the carbon footprint is the true objective for the group.
The Heritage Foundation is promoting climate change denial. Them funding and advising groups that only pretend to be environmentalists, and pushing the immigrants as a wedge issue among real environmentalists groups is not strange considering that the end results are to get people that deny AGW into power.
Hey, Smartest Person on the Planet Who Feels The Need to Repeatedly Insult Those Smarter Then Him,
You continue to conflate and confuse three issues on the table:
the environmental health and sustainability of the planet
the environmental health and sustainability of the Colorado River Basin
the environmental health and sustainability of the United States
For 1, immigration matters little. Not zero, but little. It’s not zero because as people move to wealthier countries, like the U.S., their carbon footprint increases.
For 2, The Colorado River Basin was brought up originally to show how a specific area had it’s own valid environmental concerns. And that it was correct and sensible for environmentalists to look at the sustainability of that region* in addition to issues concerning global warming*. Immigration into the region mostly comes from elsewhere within the same country, where there are no restrictions.
For 3, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly in a simple and logical fashion:
A) larger populations place greater stress on the environment.
B) for the U.S., immigration is seen to be a large contributor to our future population growth.
C) it makes sense for environmentalists concerned about the sustainability equation in the U.S. to look at immigration.
So, please stop using factors from #2 to attempt to discount #3. And would you please acknowledge that people can look at the Saving the Bay in their own town AND the limits of humans living in the Colorado River Basin AND the environmental health/sustainability of the U.S. AND global warming. That it is not an either-or proposition. You’ve begrudgingly acknowledged parts of this previously, but seem to slide back into your one-or-the-other ideological comfort zone.
Finally, keeping in mind my 1,2,3 above, rather than be snide or insulting or attempt to hand wave away the point, can you point out the logical flaw(s) in this offered by Chen?
[QUOTE=Chen019]
Population growth is seen as a bad thing for the environment (US 400 million+).
Immigration is a major driver of US population growth.
Therefore reducing immigration is one effective way to reduce US population growth.

Thank you, Smartest Person on the Planet Who Feels The Need to Repeatedly Insult Those Smarter Then Him. I can only imagine the demands placed on your time from the other 6 billion less intelligent humans seeking your wisdom.
And that was the point, the whole attempt from the fake environmentalist immigrant groups was to capture environmentalist organizations to be a copy cat of their organizations and to also minimize what Brown describes as the big issue that is affecting and will affect all (AGW)
And misleadingly avoided dealing with the fact that the biggest increase of immigrants was from domestic immigration abut 6 times as much.
As much sense as the mice discussing who will put the bell on the cat.
Nope, you guys want to avoid dealing with the OP, your so called logic of number 3 not only simplifies this issue to a sound bite, it avoids dealing with 4) 5) or 6):
Where are the future immigrants in Browns new books? Oh that is right, coming as refugees to more developed nations thanks to us doing nothing against global warming.
Your efforts are only helping polluters and really helping make your pet issue about future immigration worse, so:
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.
Already done, what you and he is doing is avoiding the larger issue to score a cheap point. it is indeed like claiming that the cat is bad. well, as it should had been clear by the latest reports, the immigrant’s footprint is not as bad as you want it to be, there are sinister reasons why this reckless attempt to control environmentalist organizations came to be.
As Brown, who is the smarter one, would tell you the big issue is AGW. In his books, foreign immigrants coming as refugees to more developed nations thanks to us doing nothing against global warming is a warning.
Knowing where the priorities are, then it is reckless to ignore the groups that are misguiding people into action that in reality avoids dealing with the main issue. And when the AGW deniers are also paying for most of the efforts of the anti-immigrants it doesn’t take a genius to see that the intention is to do nothing about the main issue. And then the hypocrisy is exposed from guys like you. There is really no effort whatsoever to protest the inaction of the politicians elected that should be doing something to stabilize the environment.
So here is your chance once again to show all this is nothing but a bunch of Hippocrates that are attempting to blame others so as not to do anything for the environment. Can you link to current efforts like the environmentalists are doing from anti-immigrant organizations doing something remotely like this?:
Or just give up and acknowledge that those fake environmentalist anti-immigrant groups are in reality anti-environmental too.
And it seems that the answer is no, GIGObuster cannot point to any logical flaws in the argument above. However, he/she certainly is an expert at hand waving and name calling
piffle, this was already explained. You are just showing all that you are avoiding the followups to that “logic”. For environmentalists reducing population is important, but it applies to all. It does not makes sense for environmentalists concerned about the sustainability equation in the U.S. to look at immigration. There are other organizations for that as environmentalists look at the population on the whole. (Brown)
Suffice to say is that you are like the mice that after a discussion they agree that the cat is bad, but first, you misunderstanding about the nature of the threat or the hare brain idea on what to do. And then the cowardice appears when we (not you, you will continue to think the mice will put the bell in the cat) realize that you are afraid to deal with what it is happening around that.
Cowardly avoiding the other issues already posted, and your “logic” was already explained, it fallaciously avoids dealing with the main environmental issues.
And our “heroes” here are now managing to avoid dealing even with the environmentalist that they claimed was supportive of their position.

Is is all related for an environmentalist, demanding that environmentalists concentrate on a side issue only helps the organizations that in reality support the big polluters.
Are you such an idiot that has failed to see I replied already to him?
Never mind, we already established that.
As we already established that you were an idiot for thinking Brown was helping you more. Brown does not look at curving immigration as a solution, but notices that immigration is a symptom for not dealing with the main issues.
Obviously you are so emotional by just repeating and expecting a different reply.
You are also demonstrating that by not waiting to see if more was added to the reply.
As I said:
"We already established that you were an idiot for thinking Brown was helping you more. Brown does not look at curving immigration as a solution, but notices that immigration is a symptom for not dealing with the main issues.
