Exactly. Without immigration, our population would collapse. Our birthrate is 1.64 per woman. Japan’s is 1.2. The replacement rate is 2. It’s just too damn expensive to have kids, put a roof over our heads, and retire. Meanwhile the fed just funnels more money to the rich. No wonder the workers can’t maintain the population: we’re starving and the government is giving all the food to the rich.
