You are dying out; We are dying out!

Of course, we three are in our dotage - I don't mean that! :-)

But it's simple arithmetic that the UK, Canada and all other developed countries are ** not reproducing ** ! We need a minimum of 2.1 births per woman and we are well below that at ~1.3. Population collapse is imminent.
If we don't have immigration, our countries will perish. The only thing that is sustaining our countries is immigration for God's sake! How can people be against it?
Who's going to be working and paying taxes when all y'all retire and die off? You don't have enough kids and grandkids! You just don't.

We should be kissing every immigrant's hands all the way up to their elbows in blessing and thanks for coming here to save us.
