New FAIR Report Shows Reducing Immigration Would Lower Carbon Emissions
A new report released last week by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) shows that immigration-fueled population growth has been the single largest contributing factor to the increase in U.S. energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions over the past 35 years. Authored by FAIR's Director of Special Projects Jack Martin, the report comes just days after the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
