når du alligevel er ved at blive så åbenlyst politisk, burde du i det mindste *overveje* et followback her :) just sayin'

You might be worried that migrants won't share our values but isn't it completely insane to expect that kids will?

Our children will surely share more of our values than foreigners will, but there's other metrics of importance.

I'm actually not sure this is true if you look at e.g. values of today's 65-year-old natives vs. 65-year-old foreign born vs. 20-year-old natives. (APC problems ofc but still)

It's too late for any "increase of fertility" (How would you do that anyway? By an inverse of the Chinese 1-child-policy?) to have an effect. That would kick in 20 years into the future. But Germany needs it now, during the next 5 to 10 years. Social system & economy will need it

Capitalism does not result in solutions that take long-term foresight until account. If one imports a lot of low skilled workers, and then make their labor useless with automation, one will have a huge problem for welfare state -- larger than before importing them.

Japan seems to be trying a hold-out plan. Allow population aging and decline, and hope that automation will come quickly enough to offset this. In the mean time, avoid importing low skilled foreigners that destabilize culture and cause economic deficits now and in the future.
