I guess you don’t understand the logic. Immigrants take on the American lifestyle when they come to this country. Since Americans use more energy than the immigrant’s original country, their carbon footprint increases.

I don’t think it is too hard to assume that the overall U.S. carbon footprint will increase with increasing population. So if we eliminate illegal immigration, we help the planet by reducing the overall carbon footprint from the U.S. Of course that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do more here in the U.S. by building and installing more wind generators, nuclear power plants, and solar panels. Plus there is a lot of conservation methods that could be implemented with better designed buildings, LED lights, etc.

There may be another factor. By providing an outlet for overpopulation in the illegal immigrante’s, further population increases are encouraged. Also, the average family size of the illegal immigrant’s family is larger once they get to the U.S., again increasing the overall planet carbon footprint.

Now do you understand the logic? You probably don’t. God help us. Making a statement saying the corollary logical conclusion is to eat an illegal alien really speaks poorly of your intelligence.

I mean, perhaps you might use a car more if you lived in the Midwest US, where you need to drive farther to get to everything, but it can’t result in THAT big a difference.
