        Our natural birth rate will doom us without immigration.

        I thought automation and robots were going to create a living universal wage. Hard to keep up with the liberals.

        I'm sure you're aware that no one, liberal or otherwise, has suggested anything of the sort. Most liberals and quite a few conservatives agree that we will need some kind of universal basic income as machines continue to replace human workers in a growing list of professions

        @SpeakerRyan's solution is to tell American women to have more babies. He doesn't care how ya raise 'em, educate 'em, or feed 'em... just birth 'em.

        Why not? With automation the demand for unskilled labor shrinks and we had plenty of pauses with little to no immigration in our history before. I like to know as well if diversity matters why is only 1 European country in top 20 nations that immigrate?

        I agree, take the deal, get out to vote, remove the hostage takers, and fix all these messes they have caused. Don't shut down the gov on principals, fix it at the ballot box!!

        Last time I checked, geographically America isn’t growing. Enough is enough.

        You mean population isn’t growing. Not enough immigration means a reduced labor force.
