Strange thing is, Europe is much more 'over-populated' than India. England, for instance, has twice the population density. The vast subcontinent of India has some environmental drawback, but it has plenty of fertile land and should be starvation-free. It all comes down to culture and organization. The Indians and Pakistanis I know in Canada are not a drain or burden on "the system" (if there are problems with Islamism in some of these populations, this is not genetic but cultural). When Canada scoop'd up a great part of the Indian population expel'd by Idi Amin, this was very much our gain and Uganda's loss.<br /><br />I remember remarking to a very rightwing conservative at ------ College that surely he would prefer to send his usual list of white middle-class America-haters (e.g. Maryknoll nuns, UCC professors) to the Third Word in exchange for eager hardworking immigrants (however dark their skin may be). No doubt immigration should occur by legal channels, but the spiritual rot in America is not caused by immigrants from India. And without this rot, "radical Islam" would surely be no challenge at all. ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
