Australia: Populate and we will perish
Excuse me? What about helping them with population control?
Why has it taken so long for this debate to take place? One reason is that the ethnic lobby brands anyone who questions immigration as racist. That won’t work with the type of people who are now entering the debate. People of the calibre of Dick Smith, Bob Carr and, if I may say so, yours truly can’t be so labelled. Read more
India embarking on a one child policy
THE government’s decision to formulate a new population policy, emulating China’s single-child families by 2015, to avoid a serious socio-economic debacle due to ever-increasing population is an eminently sensible one. According to the draft policy, couples having only one child will be given preference in all state facilities, including the government’s assistance during admission to educational institutions.

India’s government to start offering incentives for population control
The government is planning to offer a few facilities and incentives to one-child families as a part of its multi-faced campaign to popularize family planning, state minister for health and family planning Mujibur Rahman Sarkar told the parliament last Sunday.
Sarkar said the government would hold ‘receptions’ in honour of one-child couples with a view to encouraging others to go for one-child family.

China’s one child policy causing school aged children to stress
China’s one child policy means many children grow up with their parents and two sets of grandparents focusing exclusively on them, driving them to succeed in a nation of 1.3bn people where gaining entry to universities, government jobs and graduate careers is highly competitive.
Even among young children, mountains of homework and long hours of extra-curricular activities are not uncommon as China’s new middle classes strive to give their only children an edge over their playground rivals.
“The aspirations of many parents, who had limited educational opportunities themselves are now invested in their only children,” the study said.

CHANG HAO LIN-LIN v. ATTORNEY GENERAL OF U.S.
CHANG HAO LIN-LIN, Petitioner,
v.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, Respondent.
No. 08-1180.
United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) January 5, 2010.
Opinion filed: January 13, 2010.
Before: AMBRO, CHAGARES and ALDISERT, Circuit Judges.
NOT PRECEDENTIAL
OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Chang Hao Lin-Lin petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). For the reasons below, we will deny the petition for review.
Lin-Lin, a native of China, entered the United States in December 2004. He was charged as removable as an alien who entered without being admitted or paroled. See Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) § 212(a)(6)(A)(i) [8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(A)(i)]. He conceded removability and applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).
Specifically, he argued that as the spouse of a woman who had been forced to have an IUD inserted and undergo two abortions, he qualified as a refugee under the Act. Following both abortions, Lin-Lin became “angry” and “extremely upset,” and went to the family planning office to protest. The first time, Lin-Lin “quarreled” with the family planning authorities.
As a result, he was detained for two days and “beaten up,” resulting in leg “injur[ies] and bleeding.” Lin-Lin went to his village doctor, who treated him with medicine. After learning of his wife’s second forced abortion, Lin-Lin returned to the family planning office and was again “beat[en] . . . up badly.” He also had to pay fines totaling 8000 RMB. Read more
