As the U.S. birth rate falls, immigration reform may be ‘the answer hiding in plain sight,’ analyst says
CNBC ^ | October 12, 2023 | Kate Dore

As the U.S. fertility rate continues to fall, there are growing concerns about the long-term economic impact: A smaller population means less tax revenue, which could reduce funding for programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

But immigration policy reform could be one solution, some experts say.

The U.S. birth rate fell slightly in 2022 compared with 2021, with roughly 3.7 million babies born nationwide, and the birth rate still hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels, according to an initial analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A growing concern for economists, the U.S. fertility rate has generally been below the replacement rate — which is needed to maintain the current population — since 1971 and has consistently been below the replacement rate since 2007.

What is the problem with this?! it is still our country, and we don’t need to refill it, or crowd it with people from around the world. They are trying to solve the problem that doesn’t exist!

They’ve been talking about “replacement immigration” for years except when you accuse them of it they say it isn’t happening when it is.

Doublespeak lives.

Our natives are not reproducing. Personally, I would prefer if our country becomes a bit more Hispanic as long as we’re not leftist or Muslim.

“Experts say”

The experts said we were all gonna die of overpopulation in 1971 and that’s one of the big reasons the birth rate went to hell.

This is just the usual Rat party amnesty push trotted out now that they have 7 million more locusts in the country to keep them in power. They’ll be making anchor babies with all the freebies too so it’ll Venezuela Norte for the forseeable future.

The purpose of people in the US is NOT to provide revenue to the treasury.

No. Replacement migration is not the answer.

overcrowded roads, lack of affordable housing at a fair price, overcrowded cities, rising food prices.... all thanks to an endless supply of “muh cheap labor” immigrants... but hey, Ted Kennedy and LBJ created the national religion of open borders and diversity in 1965 and we are not allowed to deviate from it. Enjoy the Great Replacement and the public Muslim calls to prayer at 3 AM ... diversity is coming for you and your neighborhood... you’re gonna get diversified... enjoy!

If we reduced spending on things we don’t need, like half the federal government, aid to other countries, etc it would not be an issue.

They taxed us into poverty so that to have a decent living, both husband and wife jave to work and have less children. After that insult now the parasites that rule us are replacing us with mass migration. They all deserve to be hung.

They lie to us all the time publicly. There’s no reason for us to trust anything they say.

This has VERY LITTLE to do with medic[aid|are] and social security, and EVERYTHING about needing taxpayers to fund their BS programs that pad their pockets. They’re just hoping to use MC/SS as a way of getting the general public to accept it.

I’m not even for LEGAL immigration anymore

330,000,000 is enough, especially since 50 to 70M illegals are here already.

If the government can make up the # of illegals here, (20M) so can I.

Absolutely disagree. We are not a Hispanic country and replaced our European and American Indians with Hispanic from south of the border is absolutely wrong and outrageous. Why would you suggest such a traitorous future for the US?

So, if we start having fewer race horses being born, we start raising jackasses? Analysts are like moronic “experts”. Only even bigger jackasses.

anyone who questions the replacement of whites is automatically racist. See how it works?
