“We consume far more of what they produce than what we export to them.”
How much can we sell to them when India & China combined have a population that is 10X our own? They will manufacture for Americans who want cheap goods, and their own people who now have the money to buy things.
“And why is that so and what do you propose we do about those people who make individual decisions about “breeding?”
They have to know the consequences of not breeding, which right now would best be summed up by contributing more heavily into the pot that subsidizes those foreign children filling our maternity wards and classrooms. Beyond that, nothing needs to be said.
“Since 2000, we have added 36 million people, about the population of CA, our most populous state.”
And yet more white people are now dying than being born; do we have a problem with a declining population? Why do you think we’re importing Third World populations?
“We are descending into a Third World country, primarily due to immigration.”
The illiterate people who can’t be assimilated have had roots in this country for centuries; they are being left in the dust by immigrants seeking the original “American Dream”.
That is not the case now. China is very dependent upon exports. The vast majority of their own people can't afford the products they are producing. I have been to China and India. Both are still developing countries.

Maybe we shouldn't be bringing in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year who use our welfare programs to a much greater degree than the native born. Why are we importing poverty?

While immigrants often arrive young and have somewhat larger families than natives do, the differences are not large enough to fundamentally alter the nations age structure. For example, the average age of an immigrant in 2012 was 43 years, while the average age of a native was 37. Also, in 2011 the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in the United States without immigrants would have been 1.9 children per woman. With immigrants, it was 2.0 an increase of one-tenth of a point. Thus, our fertility would be higher than almost all developed countries (and many developing ones) even without any immigrants at all.
We are importing Third World populations because special interests benefit from their presence. Businesses want an endless supply of cheap labor to depress wages and increase their bottom line. The Democrats want more Democrat voters. The religious groups want more people in the pews. The labor unions want more members. Ethnic groups like La Raza want more political power. The American people don't want more immigration any more than they wanted Obamacare. The ruling class is destroying this country.
FYI: From the CIA World Factbook--The fertility rate in China is 1.55 children born/woman (2014 est.) In the US it is 2.01 children born/woman (2014 est.) The median age in the US is 37.6 years compared to China's 36.7 years.

What illiterate people are you referring to? If you think that bringing in huge numbers of uneducated, unskilled immigrants leaves the native born in the dust, you are factually wrong. Immigrants, legal and illegal, are sucking the country dry. Milton Friedman said. "You can't have free immigration simultaneously with the welfare state." We have both.
