There are lots of hard working bright people that are literally dying to come work and live in your country. This is not a population problem. It’s a racism problem.
But immigration <> birth rate. Within 1 or 2 generations those new people will also not want to have kids since they won’t be able to afford anything either.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of the phone ringing. UN Data shows the Fertility Rate falling from ~2.7 Births per Woman in 2000 to ~2.3 Births per Woman in 2024. Here is a handy chart of the data from 1960 to 2021. Global birth rates have been falling for most of the 20th and 21st centuries. Barring a major shift in demographics, the world’s population should peak this century. That isn’t a terrible thing, and probably a good thing from a climate perspective. But, it will have economic consequences which we will need to deal with (aging populations, economic stagnation, shrinking workforces, shrinking economies). None of this has to be a problem, but those types of demographic changes can cause societal instability.
The article is specifically about birth rate, not population decline. It also states that Americans are shrugging their shoulders and don’t consider it a problem. Nice job shoehorning racism into the conversation though.

Call me when the global birth rate is falling. Until then it’s a local problem.
And when the global birth rate is flattening I will throw a fucking party because we can finally start thinking about global sustainability.

Don’t be sorry, it’s the best news I’ve heard all decade!
The maddening thing is that you know the economic consequences would be easier to deal with a bit of solidarity, but we’re not going to.
Also they will be living in a post apocalyptic nightmare land

Dude, this is just straight up nativist gibberish. It’s about racism. Racism is all it’s about.
