Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Immigration illegal and otherwise occurs because there are dynamic and ambitious people who want to participate in a dynamic economy with huge amounts of capital to help them get ahead. Doesnt matter whether they are entrepreneurs with money to invest in a new business here or workers anxious to do jobs which most Americans would rather not do, they want to share in a rising economy and rise with it.
The theory that we are going to run out of space seems absurd. It is true and always has been that if everyone here had a large house and auto and wanted to play golf etc etc it couldn't happen because there is not enough physical space, but let's remember there is a growing array of products which are getting smaller and smaller and delivering more and more satisfaction and fun - computers, iPods etc.
If you really think that economic man is running out of space that would apply to every country in the world , wouldn't it? No one has enough land to serve up a big house for everybody, and even skyscraper building wont solve that problem.
Your critique applies to humans in general who are going to overpopulate the world and probably already have, given the difficulty we having in feeding and clothing everybody right now. The US is far behind other countries in running out of space to put consumer it seems. In fact new flat screen TVs and monitors are saving soace right now on my desk!
Everyone is looking to cut immigration for reasons to do with selfish fears but this is a new one! A good economist knows that immigration is the lifeblood of a growing economy and always has been.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
