How is overpopulation a burden for a country?
Answers
Answer:
cause of over crime of a population and its loos for country
The growing burden of population
Increasing population in the short term stimulates economic growth, provides more employment at times and in some places, produces more consumer goods, raises stockholder profits and temporarily raises the living standards in some places.
However, in the long run, an increasing population produces more pollution, global warming, decreases the middle class and in many countries increases the poverty rate. Perhaps most importantly, as young men in some countries see no future, they are attracted to terrorist groups, drug smuggling, etc.
Most of the world is made up of poor countries, which consist chiefly of poor, uneducated people, and the lack of education greatly increases the risk of perpetual poverty. Such countries don’t come close to having the resources to educate their citizens to compete in today’s world economy.
El Salvador is one of many examples, because I have a personal knowledge of that country, and have been there numerous times.
For its size, it’s the most heavily populated country in the Western Hemisphere. Up until the revolution more than 20 years ago, the country was ruled by dictators maintained by 14 ruling families, with the help of big banana companies and the Catholic church.
They controlled all of the means of production and distribution, as well as all of the poor people for many years.
Before the revolution, advocating family planning — artificial birth control — was a crime. The population increase ran wild, but as the middle class became larger, it eventually instituted a violent revolution. The powerful could always control the poor masses, but when the growing middle class asked for more, it couldn’t be controlled.
While the 14 families fled to their mansions in Miami, the army and its death squads began random killing to wipe out the opposition, called FLMN, and the church changed sides to keep from being destroyed.
This country is an example of overpopulation, lack of education facilities, lack of employment opportunities, and lack of almost everything else for a vast majority of the very poor.
Most have far more children than they can adequately care for. How can the father of 10 children on a low income adequately provide for his family? He can’t, and there are no welfare programs in such countries.
Thus, the end result of such overpopulation is violence, crime, lack of food for an adequate diet, which leads to illnesses. As these usually unwanted children become adults to fend for themselves, the problem multiplies, making such countries less of a desirable place to live.
This forces many to leave, in order to attempt to improve their lives.
Now consider Mexico, one of the most corrupt, overpopulated countries in the world. NAFTA free trade seemed like a good idea to improve the lives of the masses, but since it wasn’t also fair trade, conditions have only gotten worse for Mexican workers.
Most but certainly not all illegal aliens come from Mexico to work here, and thus escape a life of low-paid work and poverty. Can you blame them?
This extremely overpopulated country is making America its dumping ground for all kinds of criminals and undesirables, who immigrate illegally, along with the honest decent illegal immigrants, across our still wide-open borders.
Now they have become such a large part of our population, especially in some states, they are receiving all kinds of benefits and making all kinds of demands.
Through their Hispanic organizations, they are demanding that two high schools in East L.A. be converted to teach all courses in Spanish to cut the huge dropout rate. They are openly calling for America to be a bilingual country.
As their numbers grow due to a very high birth rate, they are making more and more demands on the American taxpayers who are already helping them raise their families through AFDC welfare.
They are demanding another unworkable amnesty for an estimated 12 million already here. Now it’s the Dream Act, and they fail to mention if these students get amnesty, by law as legal residents, they can petition for millions of their relatives.
Should we bear the brunt of so much immigration we can’t handle without very adverse consequences for all Americans? We already admit legally more immigrants than any other country, 125,000 yearly from Mexico alone. Are we being fair to our legal immigrants?
Where will all of this overpopulation take us. The answer is a loss of American identity, as we give preference for one foreign nation over another, and eventually a lower standard of living.
