Default Find out what Urban sprawl is doing to America and most of this is due to the largest Immigration Boom in the history of the US that began in the early ()'s ( what we call the beginning of the invasion as those who were granted amnesty imported

www.numbersusa.com click on urban sprawl in left hand column
Between 1982 and 1997 America converted approximately 25 million acres
(39,000 square miles) of rural land - forests, rangeland, pastures,
cropland, and wetlands - to developed land: that is, sub-divisions,
freeways, factories, strip malls, airports, and the like.

Over a 20-year period (1970-1990), the 100 largest Urbanized Areas in
the United States sprawled out over an additional 14,545 square miles.
That was more than 9 million acres of

· natural habitats,
· farmland
· and other rural space that were covered over by the asphalt,
buildings and sub-divisions of suburbia. And that was just for the half
of Americans who live in those 100 cities.

Americans have become increasingly alarmed, making urban sprawl one of
the nation's hottest political issues.

The Chamber of Commerce is still shaking pom-poms and proclaiming "growth is
good".
Anything for a quick buck.
