Tanton Video Interview 2006 Topic 19: John Tanton: Paradigm Shifts

In this topic, Dr. John Tanton notes that most countries are now trying to stop immigration. He discusses paradigm shifts and lists false assumptions that must be questioned:

There is room enough for endless numbers of people to come to the US.
Population problems can be solved by moving people around the globe.
Large-scale migration can continue indefinitely.
National boundaries are illegitimate.
We're a nation of immigrants.
Migration is a civil liberties problem whereas it needs to be viewed as a resource problem.

Instead of focusing on the virtues of individual immigrants, we need to focus on the ecologist's question: "and then what?"
