Well, if the EU wants to model an immigration system after ours, they are screwed.

The problem is demographics. They simply do not have an adequate birthrate. Frankly, the US has the same problem if the Hispanic population is deported. Hispanics reproduction rates in the US are far faster than Caucasians.

Illegal immigration has to be dealt with, but whatever is to be done is going to have a price, and that price will be collapse of the workforce numbers. Expanding legal immigration as a solution will not come even close to sufficing because the numbers from elsewhere just won’t come close to 12 million.

I don’t have an answer, but if the workforce numbers collapse, the US will become a 2nd and 3rd tier country within a generation.

So it seems that European population demographics are now dictated solely by a Star Chamber of multinational interests headquartered in Brussels Belgium.

That’s because nobody wants them in their own countries. They hate each other!

Hispanics are predominantly “Caucasion”. They also have nice countries to go home to and should do so.

The way to address weaknesses in the "workforce numbers" is two-fold. The first is to make it feasible for legal American residents to take entry level jobs at a fair rate of pay.

Presently this isn't possible because there are millions of illegals willing to take less than a fair rate of pay to do those jobs. This leaves our young people unemployed and without sufficient income to start families (that's another way to say "have babies").

The second is to mechanize and automate where feasible in order to compound productivity levels to maintain our position in the world industrial economy.

That's the way we've done it in the past and we can do it now and in the future.

Oh, yeah, let me add a third element of great value ~ we need some recombinant DNA technology applied to lawn grass so that it only needs mowed every fourth or fifth year!

"Hispanics reproduction rates in the US are far faster than Caucasians."

Hispanics are not caucasians? Tell that to somebody from Spain or Portugal.

As regards the reproduction rates, how is the rate of second and third generation out of wedlock births doing among 'hispanics'.

Socialism is the friend of the worker, even if it puts you out of work.

Wrong, Hispanics are predominantly Amerind. Only the top elite have a major fraction of Spanish blood, the rest are mostly Amerind.

‘Hispanic’ is a term used in the US to cover the population of Central and South America, not Spain and Portugal, who are Europeans.

Of course there will!

When the Euros say “Asian”, they’re not talking about Japanese...
