ChrisMayLA6, As rich countries' population ages, families have fewer children & the working age population shrinks (a demographic pivot thats already clear).

this makes the economic case for inward migration of working-age people pretty strong; recognising this 'reality' is why across Europe anti-migrant sentiment is now the view of an extremist minority.Pandering to this prejudice is a pretty bad idea economically (& humanely).
