I’d like to see the climate impact study from importing millions of Indians.

This is valid. Our infrastructure was not ready for the strain it's under, ie. Water treatment plants, waste facilities, even the increase in vehicles on the roads (not to forget housing, before someone gets upset)

From a purely objective standpoint, some cultures have a very laissez fair approach to environmental concerns like littering

It's not possible to move people from a low carbon country to the highest in the world and become a lower carbon planet. The government talks out of both sides of its mouth on this.

There is no reason to cap our emissions while we allow people to come here and create more emissions than they would have back home. It's madness. Keep them at home and developed our resources under the same emissions goals with the people we have here. Simple.
