    Actually, the OP is slightly understated, as it didn't specifically list what it described as additionally deleterious effects of the population mismangement crisis.

    Regardless, I see you've yet to answer the poll?

    Obama won re-election, and now promises to reduce American wage-scales to poverty levels by ludicrously absurdly legalizing 20 million illegals for his political power-play to make the Democrat Party dominant. We must respect rule of law and thwart his un-American efforts to do injustice to American citizens. This is a LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.

    American you are going to regret those words when the planet earth shrinks to the size of Texas and we all have to live in the painful conditions of New York City, where sometimes you have to walk for ten minutes to find a Starbucks.

    Odd form of humanitarianism.

    Immigrants, regardless of country of origin are not a net negative, providing that they are productive and lawful.

    The evidence is in the opposite direction.
    The Guinea Savannah, in Africa alone, is large enough to support the entire worlds grain needs.
    At this point, you're only speculating and it's poor speculation at that.
    I was discovering that life just simply isn't fair and bask in the unsung glory of knowing that each obstacle overcome along the way only adds to the satisfaction in the end. Nothing great, after all, was ever accomplished by anyone sulking in his or her misery.

    Is starvation more humanitarian than family planning. Are you even serious?

    Now you are just jumping ships. First you talked about morals, and now you are going over to economics. Immigration can be both negative and positive depending on who is coming. Unqualified African immigration to Europe is a massive negative.

    The evidence is in the opposite direction.
    The Guinea Savannah, in Africa alone, is large enough to support the entire worlds grain needs.

    So if we had very efficient farming, in a huge area of Africa, then that would only cover the worlds need of grains. That's not very impressive, especially considering the inefficiency of African farm production.

    Please provide evidence if you believe it is in the opposite direction. But you need to provide that evidence. To state that Africa could produce a lot more food, is not really an argument. Yes, they can produce more food, but will they be able to? Or will they just squander the farmland/water, which is common in many third world countries. Nigerias population is expected to rise to 450 million people in 2050. That is a not a large area. How are they going to feed themselves? There are already starvation in Nigeria. Many countries in Africa is already dependant on food support.
