The Environmental Argument for Reducing Immigration into the United States.Philip Cafaro & Winthrop Staples Iii - 2009 - Environmental Ethics 31 (1):5-30.details A serious commitment to environmentalism entails ending America’s population growth and hence a more restrictive immigration policy. The need to limit immigration necessarily follows when we combine a clear statement of our main environmental goals—living sustainably and sharing the landscape generously with nonhuman beings—with uncontroversial accounts of our current demographic trajectory and of the negative environmental effects of U.S. population growth, nationally and globally.
