"Population decline, not climate change, is an existential threat to the West"
We are simply re-learning in real time why villages, tribes, peoples, empires, etc.....have risen and fallen. It's mostly due to population explosion and collapse. Whatever else a civilization has going for or against it, the growth or decline of population usually trumps it all.
Our willingness and ability to engage in large scale immigration will propel us to an even stronger position two centuries than we enjoy today. We will likely be the largest, in terms of population, country in the world with the largest economy in the world, largest military in the world, etc......
But it completely depends what kind of immigration and by whom.
If population alone made a country great then Pakistan (242 million people) would be greater than South Korea (51 million)
And South Africa (59 million) would be greater than Texas (29 million) or the Netherlands (17 million)
Would you trade the people of Texas for the people of South Africa?
The difference is not the people. It's social contract.
Ours, for all its flaws, is the best
