"Do the math, it doesn't worky!"

If the US birth rate declined to below the present rate in France and northern Italy, would your mathematical calculations make you a strong advocate of increasing the flow of immigration to the US?

If you're concerned about population growth, immigration is just one variable. There are other approaches one could take. Eliminating the child tax credit would be one place to start.

Well, I'll have a go at that one.

Let's see . . . If a declining birthrate were to lower the U.S. population to the size it was when I was a young fellow, say around 150 million, then I guess before I'd be in favor of adding more immigrants, I'd still say let's wait to see how it goes.
