Major New Immigration Reform Recommendations, October 11, 2004
Immigration's Unarmed Invasion: Deadly Consequences
Book Review by Donald A. Collins
October 12, 2004
Daily some 2000 illegal immigrants are apprehended in a 260 mile stretch of the Arizona border near Tucson. Between 1970 and 2000 over 50 million immigrants, most with little education or assets have come here, most of them illegally. While polls show the immigration reform issue is important to over 80% of Americans, neither major party has promised satisfactory consideration.
Fortunately, a new book just published outlines the issues at stake in stark, no nonsense terms which can be readily understood. Its author, Frosty Wooldridge, a teacher, lecturer, and an author who frequently contributes his views on this issue to multi media audiences, has bicycled 100,000 miles around the globe to see the dire effects of overpopulation. This book comes from his vast and varied first hand contacts with the immigration reform issue and he leaves no aspect of this perplexing, frightening subject untreated.
`IMMIGRATION'S UNARMED INVASION: DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.' explains each aspect from the view of how it affects us Americans and why we must speedily regain control by enforcing our laws or see the rapid decline of our nation into second rate status.
What is so unique and important about this book? Short answer: Its urgent perspective, a root paradigm, in recent years buried by other far less relevant concerns, the global impact of overpopulation, both here and everywhere. The average age of the world's population is under 25 and in Middle Eastern nations and much of Asia, it is under 20. The failure to meet women's needs in the 20th Century when half of all births were unintended moved world population from just over 1 billion at its beginning to 6 billion people at its conclusion, leaving poverty, terrorism, and environmental devastation in its wake. The prospect of adding several billions more this century is virtually assured unless new, urgent attention gets focused by all humanity on these unbalanced numbers, largely untutored, uneducated, and subject to recruitment by terrorists.
Wooldridge, with the most electrifying clarity yet brought to this burgeoning population calamity, the mother of mass immigration here and elsewhere, totally exposes this devastating problem in all its complexities, as he focuses on all its dire consequences for the USA, which all start with our ignoring a cherished American first principle: Our government is failing to live up to the basic Rule of Law set forth in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence."
This book details clearly why our present government at all levels is failing miserably to meet our Rule of Law in allowing unchecked levels of high immigration both legal and illegal.
From the Wooldridge Introduction, "This book exposes Americans to the accelerating consequences of mass legal and unrestricted illegal immigration into the United States. It examines individual communities and lives across this nation that have been undermined by the 1965 Immigration Reform Act.
Pre-publication reviews by many knowledgeable immigration reform observers highlight salient Wooldridge arguments. Here are only two of many examples: "Wooldridge and others who speak through the pages of this book set the record straight on why immigration impoverishes America. We sell our nation's future down the river--socially, culturally, fiscally, environmentally--for no better reason than to provide business with a flood of cheap, taxpayer-subsidized immigrant labor. This nation's poor and minorities are hurt the most in the process
"Oh, but aren't we the richest and most powerful nation on Earth?, say the gated community affluents. Aren't we rich enough to do what we want, take in all who want to come, keep spending on our vast military establishment at the expense of our education system, environmental standards, and our other pressing domestic priorities?
After one of my several trips around the world, I have talked to people who "wouldn't want to go to..... (poor places)". Don't worry, folks, these "places" have and will continue to come here.
In my 20 plus years of studying this dual disconnect by our government and too many American voters, no one has better articulated our failure of observe our vaunted Rule of Law in the case of immigration reform or our continuing failure to fully fund an expansion of international family planning, a low cost method of helping the entire world fare better. Let these two excerpts from this landmark call to arms prompt your purchase of this "must read" book:
"Many warnings abound from the brightest minds in the world: "Pressures resulting from unrestrained population growth put demands on the natural world that can overwhelm any efforts to achieve a sustainable future. If we are to halt the destruction of our environment, we must
accept limits to that growth."
--World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, signed by 1600 senior scientists
from 70 countries, including 102 Nobel Prize laureates, November 18, 1992
Most books can state the case, but few really offer cogent, realistic politically possible solutions. However, in his powerful ending section Wooldridge eloquently offers ways on "how to save America", ideas which embrace the practical time honored principles shared by such greats as Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King. At bottom, however, the initiative must come from an informed, politically active electorate. As Franklin told us at a time when the republic was formed, it will remain so only if we actively participate. As Wooldridge makes clear, your country's future depends on your taking action now.

Should Be Required Reading for GW Bush and Congress, April 7, 2005
For those of us who live in border states, we are seeing first hand the negative impact of illegal immigration. Hopefully as this book gains in popularity, more Americans will have their eyes opened to the dangers posed by illegal immigration. The threats against our borders are real and they do not all arise from terrorism. The threat to our sovereignty posed by the government of Mexico is just as dangerous, maybe more so, than threats of terrorism. Frosty Wooldridge has very effectively articulated the inherent dangers of illegal immigration in this book. Frosty's book will make you think twice about the dangers to our nation and to our personal well being before interacting with any immigrant.
Thank you, Frosty, for a vivid description of the Third World Momentum that is overtaking America through immigration.

SUPERB!!!!!!!!, September 19, 2004
Wow--this book is absolutely FABULOUS!!
Frosty sure knows his stuff on the #1 most dangerous and growing threat to our nation: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
Massive hordes of illegals are pouring across our borders every single day. This is an invasion and it is ruining our country.
There are an estimated 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in our country today. And there are many more on the way.
Our government refuses to stop this invasion. They won't put militaty on the border to stop the flow of these millions of illegals, drug runners, criminals and very, very possibly- terrorists.
Our government wants HISPANIC VOTES as well as CHEAP LABOR.
And big businesses(Such as First Data Corp/ Western Union)have MUCH to gain from luring and keeping the illegals here.
Western Union / First Data allows illegal aliens from Mexico (who are now living here in our country illegally) wire BILLIONS of dollars that they earn {while working illegally here in our country} back to Mexico to their families.
This is a HUGE PROFIT for Western Union/ First Data Corp.
There are MANY companies out there like this who are profitting off of these illegal aliens.
IT IS ALL VERY CORRUPT.
