Again, it’s critical here to dispel fears that your country, whichever it is, would be overrun. The United States, currently clocking a fertility rate far below the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman necessary to maintain a stable population, needs migrants. Preliminary data suggests the birth rate fell to 1.7 births per woman in 2020, meaning that without migration, the US population will begin to shrink and the average age rise—straining tax bases, health care systems, and all benefit programs. Any American who plans to get old should advocate for more immigration.
