In the next three decades, there will be more people over 65 than under 18. That is a scary prospect any way you look at it. The fertility rate is at its lowest since tracking of it began a century ago.As examples of various Asian countries show, there are no amount of incentives that the govt can give for people to reproduce more. Just doesn't work that way.
More immigrants are needed. The libertarian position of course is open borders, though I personally don't quite agree with that. I do think a lot more legal immigrants are needed.
But its ironic that the more immigrants are needed, the more the sentiment is against that. Those who oppose non-European immigrants used to be a minor slice of the Republican party but now pretty much seem to control it. Instead of increase, they want to drastically reduce legal immigration, which is quite astonishing. Not to mention myopic. Does anyone actually want a dark Japan like future for America, where people are dressing dogs in baby clothes and putting them in strollers.
America Needs Immigrants Now More Than Ever
From falling birthrates to labor shortages, if you want to make America great again, the economic case for opening borders has never been stronger.
