Brenda Walker

Brenda was inspired to join the movement against illegal immigration in 1996, when she saw Congressman Tony Beilenson (D-CA) speaking live from the floor of Congress. Speaking on proposed legislation he warned: “If current immigration trends continue, the population will exceed half a billion by the middle of the next century.”

That alarming wake-up call launched her into a self-education regimen about immigration that began with environmental concerns around overpopulation and gradually expanded to areas of culture, financial costs, national sovereignty and diversity ideology.

She later began the website www.LimitsToGrowth.org to address issues she felt were not being adequately addressed, including water supply, endangered open space and the jihad danger, as well as women’s rights and safety threatened by multiculturalism. In 2003 she created www.ImmigrationsHumanCost.org to draw attention to the crime victims of illegal aliens, a topic she felt was given too little attention by the mainstream media and pro-sovereignty activists.
