The leftards will say the population is cratering - and therefore we need to bring in hordes of high-fertility 3rd world immigrants to make up the difference.
It’s the old tired argument of “who will pay for social security and take care of the old people?”
Enrollment has been decreasing in So Cal as well - in Los Angeles:
“The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has lost more than 100,000 students since the 2015–2016 school year.”
That is a significant number over 10 years. The district wants to close and consolidate 1/2 empty schools - to great public outrage.
Which is why the Feds need to dismantle Social Security.
It should be up to the states to take care of the elderly. And it should be needs only Social Security, if you have assets, you're not going to get it.
