A few days ago, I heard a Spanish politician complain about the birth rates, currently way less than the 2.1 per woman needed to maintain a population. Then, the lady went on to say that we will have to import immigrants to boost the births, and support our aging population.
Enter former President Clinton and let’s hear what he had to say, in similar fashion:
The plummeting American birthrate has become a partisan political issue.
On the campaign trail Monday for Vice President Harris, former President Bill Clinton pointed to waning fertility rates as a pretext for more immigration. ‘We’ve got the lowest birth rate we have had in well over a hundred years,’ Clinton told voters in Georgia. With the Harris-Walz logo right over his shoulder and while discussing immigration reform, he added, ‘We are not at replacement level, which means we have got to have somebody come here if we want to grow the economy.’
It was the latest in an ongoing debate over exactly how the U.S. population should grow. Democrats see more immigration as part of the fix, while Republicans favor cracking down on illegal immigration and boosting domestic birthrates. As Donald Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance previously told RealClearPolitics, ‘I want more Americans.’
President Clinton is technically correct, that we are not reproducing.
However, importing baby makers is more complicated than keeping up with birth rates. As they are learning in Europe, sometimes the baby makers don’t want to integrate into your culture and will raise children who wave another country’s flag. Have you seen some of the foreign flags marching in European capitals lately? Many of those marchers are offsprings of the baby makers imported to make babies.
President Clinton is right, but it is grotesque that we've reached this point. No babies, no future is about right.

“Plummeting biryhrates” is not the business of any politician or bureaucrat. It is not a problem that needs fixing by them.
Citizens are not cattle to be managed.
“birthrates”...
Fat fingers...
RE: “Plummeting biryhrates” is not the business of any politician or bureaucrat.
Well, how many Americans have been killed in the womb the past 50 years and how many are STILL being encouraged AND SUBSIDIZED to kill more babies?
it’s a problem for them because they spent all the social security money, they said they were saving for the older generation... and now no one will be paying into the system if they don’t keep the ponzi-scheme running (at least until they are gone)
Social engineering that is the result of government spending has led to this birth rate collapse. It sounds as though you are an advocate for retaining the current big spending government subsidies and penalties that have led to the drop in birth rates in the USA (and the whole Western world). I think that is more of a left wing mindset to want these government to not change and remove the existing bad laws.
It’s just as much about home prices as abortion. Women don’t want to start families until later in life due to financial reasons and that causes them to have fewer children overall.
Those illegals streaming across our open borders have little or no interest in being part of an American melting pot. They will live in enclaves of their own, have little inclination to learn English, be content to make babies and live off welfare and continue to live as they did in their own country. We are not importing people with education or skills, but a lower class and criminal element. Look at the areas where large numbers of these illegals have been settled ….they are rapidly turning into third world slums.
Other than the obvious SS scheme why is less bad? Less congestion, more open space, not having to print items in yet another language (we should only be in English), not a bunch of unassimilated enclaves, less welfare give aways, and not repeating one of the errors that caused the Roman empire to fall...
I can’t decide which is miser important to fix low birth rates:
1. Ban senior citizens from receiving access to any government assistance programs.
2. Ban people (especially females) over the age of 16 from receiving any subsidy towards education.
Both of these policy changes are political nonstarters.
Only politically viable solution is to add tax deductions for having children…please note that i said tax deductions and not means-tested tax credits. This policy encourages high wage earners to have children instead of just encouraging poor people to have children, which is our current policy (in spite of abortion subsidies).
Remember in the sixties when the big push was on to get women to go to work, have a career, divorce your husband, your enslaved kind of thing.
Well now they work and not only can’t take care of a baby but can’t afford to.
I believe this was always the idea.
Why can’t our aging population support itself?
I would rather work until I am dead in a functional country that I can pass on to the next generation that live a comfortable retirement is a country that is going down the tubes.
Every action has unintended consequences. To get and keep the female vote, they destroyed the nuclear family. The family had been the bedrock of American society. Strong families with two parents, participating in all aspects of the community, were decried by the FemmeNazis and their political allies on both sides of the aisle. They claimed the Nuclear family was designed to subjugate women. So now women are empowered to do whatever a man does. Consequently, women do not want to marry; men only want hookups (marriage is too messy), and the declining birth rates show it.
A “plummeting birthrate” is not a problem to be solved by importing 20 million replacements.
Immigration should not be used to manage demographics, or wage rates, or voting patterns. It should never be allowed en masses. Only people who admire our culture, who want to be one of us should ever be admitted, and then only in numbers that can be easily assimilated.
What a wackadoodle statement that was. He’s getting senile as well. It wasn’t like Slick Willie didn’t get around enough to make dozens of babies.
He’s on the campaign trail for Hellary. They’ll kick the horsey VP candidate out, save the day with Hellary, the Hellary lovers will come out in droves and the cheating will give her the win. Then, they’ll figure out the anchor baby isn’t eligible to be POTUS and welcome Prez Hellary because it’s her time!
It would make perfect sense for us to send the millions of Spanish descended, Spanish speaking aliens that have invaded our English founded, English speaking country to their natural homeland: Spain.
They’d have 40 million new tax slaves in just a few months.
Problem solved. For everyone.
COVID JABS decreased fertility, tight jeans, disposable, Diapers that create heat vs cloth, meds, Illness, cost of living are among those factors they are not counting.
Females are born with a all the eggs they will have in her life time. So are males, they are immature till puberty, both decline with age.
Ran into a 50 something guy, had a toddler with him about a 4 year old. We talked about Trump, being a grandma, G. Grandma, I asked how many grands he had, he said this is My SON, born in out older years, childless till then.
“They will live in enclaves of their own, have little inclination to learn English, be content to make babies and live off welfare and continue to live as they did in their own country.”
.
We’ll have our “NO-GO ZONES” too....
Slick Willy said the quiet part out loud..the Dem party is all for abortion, as long as American women are murdering their babies, but they want migrant women to have as many babies as possible, because those babies will grow up and vote Democrat..while American women who have babies, there is a chance they might grow up and become Republican, cant have that
German family in Tennessee faces deportation. Everything we know about the case
According to Syracuse University, nearly 2 million people applied for asylum in the U.S. from 2001 through 2022. Just over 600,000 were granted asylum in that time period, according to Homeland Security. From 2013 to 2022, about 15,000 people from Europe were granted asylum. None of those appear to be from Germany. Asia has had the most people granted asylum in the United States with nearly 120,000 people from 2013 through 2022.
Both Obumer and FJB tried to deport them!
