On February 11, 2013, the Denver Post ran a guest commentary of great clinical interest.

“Those hundreds of millions of new citizens will want to live as well and consume energy at the same rates as other Americans.

Not to mention that those new Americans will eat more and that mean that they will fart more and we all know that methane is a worse green house gas than carbon dioxide.

It’s better that those immigrants stay in their own country and starve to death.

No this is not satire (it is but not really) this is essentially what the man is saying.

These people satire themselves.
