"If yo think open borders and unmitigated immigration is a good thing then go over to the DU were your like minded socialist friends are."

Hey, central_va. That was not cool. She didn't deserve that.

Socialism took away the middle class jobs and made having kids expensive so what do you expect. Now they will subsidize the immigrants to have them with even more taxes.

Maybe we shouldn’t be feeding the third world. How long have we been trying to save Africa, for example? We feed them, they have more poor children who grow up to have more poor children. We are going to be working harder and harder to grow the numbers of people who are going to be looking at our countries with envy. This is like the Roman Empire trying to keep out the foreign tribes.

WE have to look at our modern concept of compassion because according to nature, if you cannot feed yourself then you cannot eat. The more we feed Africa or other third world nations the more hunger there is. We are defeating our own efforts to be compassionate. Large populations make large armies, the Muslims know this.

I think he is according to the prophecies of Saint Malachi.

Looking at the ratio between the women migrants and the males there are going to be many single males.

Japan is isolated by being an island nation. You can only keep people out if you have the people to man the borders. It’s not a long term solution.

In the fifties most mothers were home with their kids. People could live on the husbands salary and most women were content to be stay at home moms.

Notice how the fifties have been ridiculed over the years.

But as long as you man the borders it’s a solution.

Germany has given up all pretence of borders. That never works out for the inhabitants...

Wasn’t there a time when we imported migrant labor? Doesn’t the current guest-worker program confirm what Francis is saying? Wasn’t it a Mexican President who once remarked that Hispanics do jobs that even the Blacks refused to do??

The western self absorbed self possessed and narcissistic lifestyle that abhors children is not without consequences.

“Socialism is...why people don’t have kids. They do not perceive them as being able to afford them with the taxes they pay.”

To me, socialism means that I cannot afford to have more than one child because such a large percentage of my paycheck will be seized to pay for other people to have as many children as they want to have. (Actually, socialism to me means that I cannot afford to have even one child...but I have had that unaffordable child anyway.)

So the Pope thinks islam is the answer? Or does he think these people are going to miraculously convert?

Whatever the answer is to Europe’s population problems, this isn’t it. But if he really thinks it is, he’d better think of moving...quickly.

This is naïvete writ large.

Oh, right. It has nothing to do with the natural and logical consequences of blenderizing 50 million of our own children.

Painful, and you are correct!

Socialism is primarily the reason why people don’t have kids.

Europeans don't have kids because kids get in the way of their comfortable life styles.
