Americans aren't having enough kids. Immigration may be the answer.
Business Insider ^ | Feb 21, 2024 | George Glover

Millennials and Gen Zers are far more skeptical about starting a family than previous generations, with some pointing to a lack of financial stability and a potential climate crisis as factors.

As a result that’s led to fertility rates plummeting. The average American woman is having just 1.6 children on average, per World Bank data.

"The US population is still growing because of immigration" said ADM’s Ostwald. He added that the 2024 presidential election could be even more crucial for the economy. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump slammed Mexican migrants in his 2016 campaign. “Trump's objective is to actually slow migration very dramatically into the US — and those sorts of views could dramatically change the dynamics of the economy,” Ostwald said.

Congress has also played up the potential for immigration to boost the economy over the longer term.

Bidenomics is doing open borders to combat inflation. Wages are rising too fast. We need more labor, more job-seekers and more taxpayers.

We don’t need more people. 335 million is enough.

I thought we were all going to be replaced by robots and relegated to living in pods and eating bugs.

So which is it? Too many “useless eaters” due to AI/robotic replacement or we need more maids and yard men?

The Klaus Schwab—Bill Gates vision for America is to have gated fortresses for the ultra rich elite,
and a dystopian nightmare for the regular folks living outside the pale.

Adding more homeless isn’t going to improve the climate or economy. We have wars to fund. Loans to forgive. Palms to grease.

Tell Americans they should kill their babies in the name of climate change, then tell them they must bring in third world “migrants” because they aren’t having babies.

Sounds like a plan.

Only problem with these third world illegal slags is they AREN’T working and paying taxes, they are competing with Americans who would want even the job types they DO get, and they are DRAINING our social and public resources (schools, health, law enforcement, housing and all forms of welfare).

They know every trick in the book on getting stuff for free before they even get here. But they are good at making babies - anchor babies.

some pointing to a lack of financial stability

"Immigrants" are happy to have children because they, unlike American citizens, are ensured financial stability.

Trying to sell us on immigration.

Sending a few troops to a small portion of the border in Texas distracts from what the RINO’s really want in the end.

Economic development and a larger workforce.

How about child tax credits?

How about stop murdering 65 million babies in the womb and now out of the womb?

How about stopping the indoctrination of “gender” on children and destroying their ability to bear children?

We don’t need uneducated military young men invading our country.

I’m partial to hardworking Asians, but not sure they are stupid enough to vote the Rat party.

Also sending a few troops to a small portion of the border in Texas doesn’t stop the illegals from coming in along the rest of the border.

The Election Year RINO Show.

<< Millennials and Gen Zers are far more skeptical about starting a family than previous generations >>

3rd & 4th wave feminism + climate change hysteria = cultural death knell.

Open borders + welfare state = cultural and national death knell.

Just like that, Western culture and white people are erased. Kalergi would be proud.

I might consider supporting immigration as a solution but only after we try adoption instead of abortion first.

Remember the big mantras of the past decades? Do not have children!

Pollution, population overrun, and all the rest of the elites screeching that Caucasians should not propagate

All the while the populations in the global south were increasing at record rates. Ship the excess to the US and continue population growth to send more to the Western countries.

Aren’t we all the fools.
