and as short reply , USA Government allows the third world imports into the USA no matter USA Birth rates . Last thing I worry about is birth rates as i'd like to see less births and population in the USA . USA now , in 2010 census has 310 million in the USA when in 1970 census it had 210 million Andy .
----------------------------------------- I blame USA Gov no matter if birth rate is rising or falling . And yeah , doesn't really matter to ne as I figure that you Youngsters will get the USA that I was never forced to experience Andy .
Then I would argue, that immigration is irrelevant... if you don't care about birth rates.
When a population declines, someone is going to replace it. This should be considered a given. If the population goes down... the someone is going to replace the loss of people. Those people who replace it, will influence that culture.
If you have a growing population, the growth will increase the culture, and you will end up assimilating the people that come... instead of them assimilating you.
It's that simple. Either you have a growing population and culture, and you end up assimilating those who come here.... or you have a declining population and culture, and those that come here will assimilate you.
Now I get what you are saying... you would rather ban all immigration, and just have a declining population.... well the result of that would be economic devastation.
Japan is a perfect example. They are about to lose their culture. Why? Because the economic damage from a falling population, sank Japan into a economic lost decade (that is now actually nearly two decades.)
So how did Japan avoid a complete crash of the economy, while having a falling population?
The world is running out of Japanese people
That specific number of immigrant workers, is rather interesting since the decline in population is just about 1.4 Million.
In order to keep the economy going, they have to import workers to replace the loss of people.
America is no different
