The group, Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) ran a television ad across the state where a young boy asks “if Californians are having fewer children, why isn't there enough water?
The ad was part of a wider media campaign hinting at the lack of water resources is complicated by a large part due to lax immigration laws.
Census data show that 1 in 4 California residents was born outside the country.
The state has been adding 3 to 4 million each decade, census data shows and a large portion of that grow is due to immigrates and their children.
Ben Zuckerman who is on the board of caps and a astrophysics professor at UCLA pointed out that “The larger the population of California, the more difficult it will be to deal with the effects of the drought."
Conservative groups like CAPS say Jerry Browns mandated 25% cut back in urban water usage is hypocritical considering the immigration friendly measures that the democratically controlled Legislature and Brown backed.
Some experts dispute the immigration water consumption claims, pointing out that the majority of California’s water are going to agricultural and industrial purposes.
The fracking industry is using about 70 million gallons of water a year in the state that can’t be reused as drinking water.
Nestle is bottling water to be shipped out of state and are not required to disclose exactly how much water they are taking out of the state.
You won’t hear CAPS talking about these big industrial leaks in the California water supply. There only purpose is to stop immigration. They are using whatever it takes to achieve that goal, no matter how crazy it might sound.
