Dear President Bush:

I am alarmed, as you should be, at the rapid growth of the United States population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, we gained over three million people every year in the decade of the 1990's. Nearly 33 million people were added in just ten years exceeding the U.S. Census Bureau's projections by six million. If this 1.3% annual rate of growth continues, we would see 571 million by 2100.

But the growth has accelerated -- with a 3.8% increase from 2003 to 2004. We are over 297 million at the closing of 2005. Why?

The Center for Immigration Studies has said the number of immigrants living in the U.S. has more than tripled since 1970, and that immigrants who have arrived since 1990 and their children accounted for almost 70 percent of U.S. population growth in the last ten years.

With this tremendous impact on our resources, rocketing demand for oil and gas, overcrowded highways and schools, plus critical security issues, how can you continue to pursue more amnesties and more unenforceable guest worker programs?

If you care about the next generation and the ones that come after, you must abandon your open borders mid-set.

Mr. President, I think you need to address the underlying cause of this unacceptable population growth -- government policies. The world does not need more super-consuming and super-polluting residents. We need to have Washington show some leadership in developing policies that will head us toward a reduced population size, else we are heading for a third-world standard of living -- or an even worse scenario.

Sincerely,
