Lawyer/Politician blows his metaphorical brains out using metaphorical Magnum 45 depicted by his forefingers?

Today (21 November 2014) the ABC broadcast Obama saying: "Scripture tells us that, 'We shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once too,'" he said. "My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once too. And whether our forebearers were strangers who crossed the Atlantic or the Pacific or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like or what our last names are or how we worship."

Well; the New American Standard Bible says:
"As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it." ..........and we know that doesn't work indefinitely.

So let's analyse Obama's comments to better understand their meaning. Will a lawyer do anything to defend his population growth "client"; regardless of the facts?

A definition of a stranger:
A person whom one does not know or with whom one is not familiar.

Strangers include the over one billion undernourished or starving in the developing world. The US may always be a nation of immigrants; but it will definitely NOT always be a nation of population growth. Of that we can be certain. Population growth must stop either by strategic planning or catastrophe.

Again this highlights the confusion over the difference between humanitarian outcomes for one versus humanitarian outcomes for all. For over 100 years the US creed has been economic growth. But what the US is not saying is that to drive that economic growth it has relied upon the forces of population growth and global anthropogenic environmental destruction in all its forms. Population growth fuels GDP growth. There is no doubt about this scientific fact.

The truth is that the more people that migrate into high cost (and higher emissions) environments like the US, Canada and Australia, the more the developing world will be disadvantaged. This is simply because if a developed economy has growing debt as its population grows, that economy has less financial capacity to provide aid to strangers in the developing world - where population growth is a key problem rather than one to be "copied" by the developed world.

Per capita social welfare expenditures in the US, Canada and Australia are far higher than required to improve or save a life in the developing world. In simplistic economic purist terms, if a developed economy is accumulating per capita debt then the net contribution of each person in that economy is negative. If continuing to grow the population of indebted economies like Australia and the US is contributing to increasing the levels of debt in those countries, it therefore contributes to widening the gap in living standards between the developed and the developing world BECAUSE it continues to reduce the capacity of wealthy countries to provide philanthropic foreign aid - which constitutes to most fundamental means for achieving of global social equity - including population growth management. The US, Canada and Australia are different in many ways; but this fundamental immorality is common to all. Growing populations in the developing world are arguably the world's biggest problem. Growing populations in the developed world by mass migration simply makes the problem worse by refusing to address the obligation to stabilise population in every country. The US has been reported to have 50 million people (roughly 15% of the population) below its so-called poverty line. Is the Australian Government and its propaganda machine (the ABC) intent on achieving a similar outcome?

So the Scriptures can be interpreted in more ways than one; and certainly cannot be used as ethical justification for mass migration. The humanitarian high ground clearly lies in prudent moderation of population-fuelled GDP growth, in order to support increased humanitarian foreign aid in pursuit of population stabilisation, global human rights and global sustainable development.

The whole logic behind the IMF, the World Bank and all Agencies dedicated to improving humanitarian outcomes in the developing world is totally at odds with the use of mass migration to fuel the outdated and fatally flawed economic and environmental mass destruction perpetrated by countries like the US, Canada and Australia. These organisations typically use developing world GDP growth as a Key Performance indicator of their "progress".
