19. No, he's not correct
And you are inconsistent. One the one hand you say that our lifestyle is not sustainable and on the other you claim that downward pressure on that lifestyle is not acceptable.

But the whole immigration issue is based on that lifestyle desire. The immigrants want more so they migrate here, and we already here who have more want the migrants here so we can get cheap labor so we can keep 'more'.

What you and Dobbs offer is a continuing conundrum in which those of us who have more spend more time keeping it away from those who want what we have, whilst using migrants to support our unsastainable lifestyle which they want a piece of.

The problem is that greed is rampant and will be the downfall of our lifestyles. But were we to share our wealth the resultant lifestyle changes would ensure more sustainability for everyone.

All Dobbs offers is more division and greed.
