Dallas' land grab uses circuitous strategy
BILLY WAYNE HALLMON

Dallas justifies its land grab for new East Texas reservoirs by claiming there will be "13 million residents" in another 50 years.

During the 20th Century, Dallas grew rapidly because of a native birth rate and migration from northern states. Contrarily, in the 21st Century, neither of these will grow Dallas. Birth rates of US citizens have become negative. With northern states getting warmer and Texas hotter, Rust Belt migration will likely reverse.

Any "13 million residents" will be coming up from Mexico, Honduras, etc., and most will enter illegally. This trend has already altered Dallas' demographics and the proposed NAFTA Highway will further exacerbate the problem.

The Dallas Chamber claims that new reservoirs are necessary for growth. This circuitous strategy encourages more population that wants more water.

Meanwhile, East Texans will lose their land, heritageand economic opportunities, and they, as well as all Americans, will lose their forests and wildlife, so that Dallas can absorb a runaway Third World birth rate.
