The United States population is growing at the slowest rate since 1937, when the country was in the midst of the Great Depression.
The national population grew by just 0.6% between July 1, 2017 and July 1, 2018, according to population estimates released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Thats due to a relatively high number of deaths and low number of births, and its in keeping with a trend of declining annual growth.

Long term denigration of motherhood.
Decades of scare tactics on population.
Thats a good thing. We already have 330 million people. That makes us the third most populous nation on Earth behind China and India. We dont need any more. I dont aspire to be India.
Are our cities in desperate need for more traffic?
Curiously, while US abortion rates were at 1.5 million we were also taking in the same number of foreigners and that masked the beginning of the decline.
No amount of importing people quickly will fix the problem as Europe knows as it has tried to reverse it by allowing the muslins in quickly.
A few years ago, I attended a high school graduation and someone had placed 1/3 as many chairs an their were students graduating. It was very noticeable like someone had made a mistake. Turns out one of the teachers had the extra chairs to show how many students were not their because they had been aborted.
That absolutely true statement needs to be tattooed inside the eyelids of every politician in the US.
Propaganda to try to cool emotions about immigration.
No they won’t.
That is the problem we all don’t see
The democrats are losing power
As people get older, they get more conservative
The Millenials (older ones that are nearing 40) are turning more and more conservative because they realize government is a giant taxing beast that does nothing right.
Democrats power is from college students and recent college grads and government union workers
If population shrinks, the government shrinks as well, democrats lose power.
People change their politics over time, most conservatives are former liberals and centrists who got tired of getting mugged for pie in the sky promises that never happen.
The demographics is on our side, why do think they need to keep importing illegals? Why do you think they want to lower the voting age down to 16? Heck they will probably want dogs and cats to vote as well.
If they didn’t have these issues, they wouldn’t need to cheat, in California.....
Fine by me. 324 million is more than enough.
Feminism is the prime leading cause of lowered fertility rates.

The Amish don’t have this problem and they are fairly poor, it is feminism not the economy.
Paying women to have kids doesn’t work, it just accelerates the destruction male responsibility.
Everyone should just move to Texas... better to do it when the flights are still running.
In 1937 one wage would support a family.
lol!
Theres that plus the globalists have so much to sow discord between men and women, pushing extremist feminism and transgenderism.
Finally a poster who gets it.
The illegals have NOT been correctly counted for over 50 years.
The number of unaccounted for illegals should be in the 100's or a few thousand, not millions. What a disgrace, Build the wall, enforce our border.
Liberals keep saying we need to control our population and reduce our footprint.
We have zero population growth if we close the border. Close the border, and we immediately get the stable state liberals say we should have.
A side benefit is that wages for the poorest native born Americans can start to go up because they aren’t pulled down by competition with legal and illegal immigrants.
You can’t have $15 minimum wage AND open borders.
I’m sorry to disagree because I wish you were right. But we took in 1.75 illegal and legal immigrants last year alone. (we take in 1.5 to 2 million EVERY YEAR)
Many states that were red are turning purple, many that were purple are turning blue, and states like Illinois and California are dark blue with supermajorities for dems. White conservatives are being diluted out by Asians and Hispanics who vote 70% democrat.
No legitimate “rights” can promote terminating the next generation.
Griswold, Roe, and your points are assaults on the future of society, and with it, the end of our republic.
