Problems we would have to face without immigration. The SS pyramid scheme is predicated on a growing population. We have to get young folks from somewhere. I think the leftists need to get it together on this population thing. Zero population growth = deficits. I'll make a trade-off, you guys stop growing government programs and I'll stop growing the population. Oh and Mari, words have meanings.
