His Fate Is In His Hands
10 July 2006
The Editor, USA Today
To the Editor:
Christopher Edwards wants stricter limits on immigration because he worries that growing population threatens Americans' "long-term quality of life" (Letters, July 10). But Mr. Edwards lives in New York City -- one of the most densely populated places on the planet.
If quality of life falls with higher population, it's a wonder than Mr. Edwards doesn't escape this problem by moving to Mississippi or Oklahoma where population density is much lower.
Sincerely,
