FYI, it takes a family in the United States with 2.8 children average or better to sustain our culture, if not , we will no longer be the United States.

So, "where are all the people coming from?" asks one CAPS TV commercial. It's a good question because based on U.S. Census figures, people aren't moving to California from other parts of the country. For years, more Americans have been leaving California than moving here. So, where were all the people coming from? Most Californians already know the answer. The state's growth is a product of mass immigration. More than 98% of California's population growth over the last fifteen years can be attributed to mass immigration and births to immigrants.
That's why CAPS advocates slowing mass immigration to more sustainable levels and a deliberate approach to family size.
I hold a seat on a planning commission and we review new residential and commercial developments as well as zoning and annexations, the meetings are very emotionally charged but we have to approve or disapprove based solely on fact.facts alone dont work on anybody. feelings are way more important. This is how almost every important in our lifes are decided, first there is a desier, a want, a fear, or some other emotion. then there is facts that support that feeling, rationalising it. but we act on feelings, not facts.
