    Our population is increasing. But, not naturally – the greatest theft of resources by the developed world on the developing world is occurring.
    Today Ireland is part of this, the theft of human resources from the developing world.
    The USA became a superpower by human resources from Ireland, Europe and eventually other global nations.
    Ireland lost out big time by losing her population to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
    Today, sadly Ireland takes from developing nations.
    Based on stolen human resources from Poland, Nigeria and God knows where else.
    The west is all the same and all corrupt, so corrupt not only to the people entering legally and illegally, but especially their own people.
    I feel sad Ireland is part of this great deception and theft – Ireland and the west should start having children to solve their demographic time bomb not steal the most valuable resource in a world suffering from demographic decline – human resources.
    Look at the birth rate world wide, there is no baby boom – just a baby bust. The west is stealing future taxpayers – human resources.
