This is the basis of the death of the west. We can complain all day about immigrants from other cultures and I will), but the truth is if we had maintained a healthy growing society of westerners we would be able to sustain ourselves without needing outside labor forces.
Europe especially is dying, and in just a few decades will not exist as far as western values and traditions. It's sad, but this is one of those cases where we've done ourselves the greatest harm.

Pope Francis: not having children is selfish
Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies, pontiff tells audience in St Peter’s Square
Pope Francis has chided couples who choose not to have children, saying the decision is a “selfish” act. The statement, made in his general audience in St Peter’s Square, will be seen as especially controversial in Italy, which has recorded a steady drop in its birth rate for decades.
“A society with a greedy generation, that doesn’t want to surround itself with children, that considers them above all worrisome, a weight, a risk, is a depressed society,” the pope said. “The choice to not have children is selfish. Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies: It is enriched, not impoverished.”
