The Capitalist Population Mantra

Immigration will be the 'main source of growth in the future'

Growth has to come from somewhere, right?  The dimwits who make statements like this seem to believe that the countries still manufacturing people for export will continue to do that in perpetuity.  They think of them like perpetual baby making machines. This is highly unlikely, since these poor countries are going to be the first ones to start depopulating from the other end, by starvation, war and disease.

People are leaving all these places in record numbers already due to these problems, which means they are losing their baby makers.  Thus, they will have fewer people to export next go round.  The Industrialized countries are using them up faster than they can reproduce.  It's the human equivalent of eating the seed corn.

Besides this, the FSoA can't keep absorbing new immigrants into the country at the current rate.  We took in ~1M immigrants, and all the borders and entry points are overflowing with refugees who are homeless.  Together with the homeless we are producing locally, all the agencies to help these folks integrate into the society are overwhelmed.  By next summer, the refugee camps and tent cities around the malls are going to be even bigger than they were this year.  The only question is which comes first:  Political backlash and border closings or riots in the camps.

If they expect the population to grow, then they need to be building a LOT of new housing for them, but that's not happening.  Most of the current affordable housing stock is aged out, over 50 years old and in need of replacement.  That isn't happening either.  Continued immigration at the current rate will simply turn the FSoA into a 3rd World country.

Immigration is likely to be the #1 issue for the POTUS horserace, unless of course the economy crashes first.  Both issues favor Trump, and head to head against Uncle Joe he wins.  However, still not guaranteed The Donald will get the Rethuglican nomination, or UJ for the Democraps.  No matter who wins, the situation is FUBAR, so gear up for an uptick in Collapse inssanity for 2024.
