"North Americans are making a mess. The US, with only five percent of the world’s population, consumes 32 percent of the world’s petroleum and plastics and produces 25 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases. […] It is patently absurd that here in the US we consume and destroy our resources like no society on Earth and then actually use that as a rationalization against immigration."
— Michael Dorsey
