Some sound thinking on the immigration issue can be found at the American Thinker site (http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/11/the_gops_california_lesson.html). As a resident of California and with a lot of Mexican American friends, I agree wholeheartedly with the ideas presented in the column.
The fact that I oppose amnesty, open borders, and internal population growth because it places animals and plants in peril through the loss of habitat does not mean that I object to opposition to immigration because of other reasons. Any argument to lower (or better yet, eliminate) immigration is going to get my attention.
As I've pointed out many times, support of immigration means that you cannot be an environmentalist, for population growth causes the greatest risk to endangered species because of loss of habitat.
Think about it.

I see that the Republican party is ready to give up on the immigration front. They apparently lost the Hispanic vote (traditionally Democrat for decades), so the two point loss that Romney suffered is a 'mandate' to go left of the Democrats on this issue.
A two-point win by Obama is not a mandate to do anything, let alone open the borders to anyone who wants to come to this country and start living on the largess of the United States government.
We must look at the bigger picture. More immigration into the US means that more and more animals and plants will simply go extinct. Some pundits are calling the times we live in the sixth era of extensive species extinction.
What causes an animal to go on the endangered list? The biggest reason is loss of habitat. This means for every person who comes as an immigrant to this country puts that much more pressure on the animals and plants that just 'are in the way'.
What to do about it? First, let's limit legal immigration to perhaps 100,000 per year. Second, we need to work to send all illegals back to their country of origin, be it Mexico, El Salvador, China, South Korea or wherever.
If we don't work to stop massive immigration, more and more animals will disappear from the planet.
And that is something I just can't abide without a fight!

The 2% Solution
Governor Romney lost his bid for the White House by two points. This is not a landslide, folks.
The liberal media points out that Romney lost the hispanic vote by 6 to 3. Even if the Republican candidate earned 40 percent of the vote, it would not been enough to win any more of the 'swing' states. That notwithstanding, the liberals are telling Republicans they need to move towards an open borders policy. That, of course, would spell disaster for the unemployment rate and government subsidies.Who needs that?
The other factor to remember is the high rate of immigration, both legal and illegal, leads to pressure on endangered species. Already many people think we are in a period of rapid extinction of species. The main reason for this is loss of habitat space for animals. As it stands now, building more and more houses puts more and more pressure on the animals that are being displaced by more and more people in this country (the rest of the world is just as bad).
