[Blaming Immigration on Abortion]

In his BreakPoint Commentary which is carried by nearly a thousand outlets in the United States, reaching about a million listeners, Chuck Colson said Tuesday that abortion is the cause for the shortage of workers which has necessitated a flood of immigration, while the country is struggling to assimilate the foreign influx.

Colson asked rhetorically, "But what's the root of the problem? Why do we have a shortage of workers?" He answered, "Aha, that's the unspeakable 'A' word that the elite dread the most: abortion."

"The reason we must allow millions of illegal aliens in to fill these jobs is because we have murdered a generation that would otherwise be filling them: 40 million sacrificed since 1973 to the god of self-fulfillment. And Americans are barely maintaining a replacement-level birthrate of 2.1 children per woman," he said.

"Remember the compassionate stuff that the abortionists used to tell us: 'We are just preventing these poor kids from growing up in deprived, impoverished circumstances'? Hah! False. What happens is that others come in from abroad to live in those deprived, difficult, and impoverished circumstances and at great public cost," he added.
