I've been getting my butt kicked in this forum for a very long time trying to educate people on this. The U.S. not only has to deal with the declining birth rates, but to boot, we kill a million fetuses yearly.

Then, to make matter worse, the baby boomers are retiring in droves, and picking up speed, so the population is graying rapidly, while we simultaneously extend life expectancy.

To maintain Social Security viable, there needs to be a workers to retiree ratio that we are not achieving, thus the increases in immigration, both legal and illegal.

Government estimates project that by the year 2050, we could allow the entire working age population of Mexico into the U.S., and it would not be enough to maintain today's worker to retiree ratio.

The one glimmer of light in the whole thing, is that Europe has Muslims to repopulate itself with, we have Central and South American Hispanics...the only place in the world where Muslims decreased in number in the past decade.

Few folks, even here, fully grasp the enormity of the coming population implosion.

Our contraceptive and abortive culture is responsible, and most here contracept.

Thus you won't find many Americans willing to face up to these issues.

Us Catholics just sit back and smirk.
