This is the single greatest crisis that mankind has ever faced and not only is nobody talking about it, the left wants to accelerate it.

Word.
While I admire the thought and effort, and I’m always up to fight the good fight, we are highly outnumbered, dying off and have few weapons.
The US’s fertility rate is 1.89 which less than replacement levels (2.1) so how can it get to over 400 million by 2060?
World population is only growing at 1.1% annually, but even that number will soon go negative.
Not to mention the die off from some plague that is tacitly supported by our government or economic collapse event all set up to thin the herd.
As the US fertility rate decreases the population will continue to rise. Is that correct?
Sounds very similar to the climate changers. As the globe decreases in temperature the Earth’s climate will keep heating up.
That’s the ticket!
Possibly...and I can’t imagine a mechanism by which to turn the tide. Once that cat got outa the bag, there’s no recapturing it. The movement will serve to work in such a manner that the cultural marxists won’t reproduce themselves. So, humanity will decrease in numbers. But we’ve seen this at work in Europe and what we’ve learned is that as societies become wealthier, their fertility rates decline past the replacement level. Then, of course, to fuel their economies, they resort to unbridled immigration policies. So, by way of its very success, Western Civilization is set for self-extinction.
No surprise then certainly that Hollyweird and Cable TV have recently celebrated Kinsey, Masters and Johnson in their works.
10% of U.S. population growth as a whole is due to immigrants and the first generation children of immigrans.
The third world is producing plenty of children to replace us old fogies. When I go to the grocery store and see the families with EBT cards and 5 or 6 kids in tow I have no worries I won’t be replaced.
Women no longer NEED men, hence far too many no longer desire marriage; that is the problem. Women have government safety nets as a substitute for men, and are now free to engage in promiscuity without consequences. Men have of course adopted to the new norm, and the majority also do not want marriage, since they can get sex whenever and wherever they want-- we have a culture of hedonism. How to go back? Eliminate all forms of social welfare, for a start. Eliminate no-fault divorce next. I don't now how we can bring back morality, but that would help as well.
Immigration contributes to 80% of our population growth.
Au contraire. Birth rate dropped more from 1955 to 1965 (5.5 births per thousand), prior to the Sexual Revolution, than from 1965 to 1975 (4.5 births per thousand).

Drop in birth rates has been a continuing process since 1800. Here's a graphic.

No big change in the pattern can be seen in the 60s, coinciding with the sexual revolution, just a continuation of the drop, starting about 1955, that was a result of the end of the Baby Boom.
I agree in general with the author's POV, but wish he'd use accurate data to support his position, not just make stuff up.
Our increase in population is largely due to immigration, not birth rate.
