Over half? No! 100%. If not for immigration, we'd be in the same boat as Russia. The 126 mill extra is MExican, then add another 50 million people from the third world wearing turbins who will make up for our depopulation.

Why is it that so often that the wonderful decent, good, people of America are infertile?

Don't worry. We are 'importing' all the people we will need to stress social services, infrastructure, and further burden the few remaining taxpayers. They are reproducing at 3 times WASP rates. By 2050, the top 5 countries in population will all be 3rd world, including the US.

Why is depopulation a disaster?

Depopulation is a disaster because in democracies, power is proportional to your numbers. If you don't have kids and your nation is invaded by millions of third world immigrants who want your money, your land, they have it.

Look at California, over 50% of newborn babies there are hispanic, but they're still considered a minority and given preferential access to education, contracts, jobs, etc.

If the depopulation was even, it wouldn't be a problem, but we're witnessing massive depopulation in the industrialized western world coinciding with massive population booms in the third world (made possible by the largesse of our dying civilization). In a sense, we are financing our own extinction.

We can't have stay-at-home-moms. They have to work to make up for the taxes taken out of husband's paycheck so that immigrant and other moms utilizing public services and funds can stay at home.

Sounds like you're into voluntary human extinction?

India has been a good friend to the U.S., and I'm sure they will have great hardships to have 50% more people within the same amount of space they have now. They also have one of the strongest democracies in their hemisphere! So here are some ideas...

Help India reduce their future overcrowding, and help us, by...

Note that India passes China as the most populous country while the United States stays at number three.

Maybe the US population will remain stable in terms of numbers,but how many will even be able to speak English as a second-language? Thanks to the illegal alien invasion,the US will be a 3rd world country by then.

Too many people in China + Declining Russian population and excess Russian land = Chinese annexing some Russian land.

We have a winner!

The graph of year 2050 is inaccurate and the actual figures may very different for two reasons:

1) France may be a new role model (!). Our loyal and courageous allies are experiencing a major population boom, so bad that the obstetrics units are totally overwhelmed all over France.

Reason? A massive financial incentive plan to encourage pregnancies and motherhood. Works like a chaem. Europe is all abuzz over this phenomenon, and there is talk of implementing the same plan throughout depopulated Europe, including our new best friends in Eastern Europe.

2) Population control efforts are most of the countries supposedly growing out of control in the 2050 projections. These measures are usually amazingly effective when fully implemented (just look at Europe).

That is why the World needs a good case of something like Ebola Zaire.

You take the "cure" first. That is, if you really mean what you say, and aren't just hiding a grotesque sort of racist elitism .

You are one sick and grotesque individual.

May the afflictions of ebola or any other fatal disease fall upon you and yours first and most painfully.

The womb is the greatest weapon of mass destruction. The arabs have it, we don't.
