Fewer kids, more immigration would strengthen U.S. (Shocking - honestly)

I guess in fairness he warned us ... sheeze

[Sonny M]

corporate talking points.

[AzaleaCity5691]

I don't even think words can describe how lousy this piece of tripe truly is.

[cripplecreek]

Is this guy trying to be funny or is he just so absurd that he seems funny?

[txroadhawg]

Trade in my kids for a Mexican? Might not be a bad idea, at least the yard will get cut.

[ConorMacNessa]

What a load of crap. Fewer immigrants (ilegal, at least) and more home-grown kids would help us out. Of course, that would ratify the nuclear family, a concept that is all but lost in contemporary American society.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I can think of several countries trying more immigration/few children strategies...we see how well it's working there!

[Graybeard58]

Unlike some, I read the entire article.

[Scythian]

He is quite serious. You see, he's actually saying what he believes unlike most of the libs who are afraid to say it. Shocking it is nonetheless.

[Hawk1976]

Wonder if this educator idiot has ever had kids or a grandkid to an unwed daughter. We would be better off without him than we would be without children.

[Scythian]

Unlike some, I read the entire article.

Good, so did I. The thing that kills is that he thinks a bunch of Mexican families are going to move here and not have any children? Hello, is anybody in there. Do immigrants have children, or is it he doesn't like American baseball, chevrolet, and hotdog children?

[AzaleaCity5691]

I read the entire peace, and basically what this guy is saying that, for the good of America, the government needs to involve itself more in the way children are raised, at least, that's the inference I gleam from it.

[AzaleaCity5691]

Piece, not Peace

[atomicpossum]

Silly, silly man.

Just proves booklarnin' don't make ye smart.

[05 Mustang GT Rocks]

This dude needs to be aborted.

[Vigilanteman]

What a pompus ass! I have three daughters in the age group he describes as "a major disruptive and expensive aspect of our nation. They establish behaviors that lead to lifelong misery for themselves and expenses for the rest of us."

They are sweet, kind and courteous. They are all working, involved in school and community service. What little help they are getting from the taxpayers in schooling is more than off-set by what I pay in taxes now and what they are paying and will pay over a lifetime.

Even though I may think they are the most wonderful kids in the nation who give me and all who know them a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, if I look at it objectively, they are not so exceptional. They have peers who are (almost) as sweet, nice and ambitious.

[Moonman62]

Could we reduce some of the major costs in our society if we had fewer children and more immigration from abroad?

It's worked so well for Europe. Why not give it a try? /sarcasm of course

[caisson71]

I read the article and saw his picture. I think old, ugly, fat men are more a cost/drag on our society. I vote to keep the kids and shoot all the old, fat, ugly people.

[Torie]

This is a rather clumsy parody. Having said that, the most patriotic and selfless thing adults can do is spend the big bucks to procreate and intelligently raise their issue into productive citizens to replace those that have gone before. And that is a fact. I admire those that choose to be parents, and wise and attentive ones, very much indeed. I really cannot think of a more enobling task off hand.

[bboop]

No kidding, TRIPE.
