Not many other options available to prop up a ponzi scheme economy than to feed the system from the bottom though.

I suspect the US will be doing more of the same (again) in a few more years when the political winds turn (again).

"Spain's socialist-led coalition government has been an outlier on this issue among the larger European nations, underlining the importance of migrants for the economy. The country has been outperforming the other main EU economies in recent years, posting expected growth of close to 3% in 2025. Unemployment, a longstanding weakness of the Spanish economy, has dipped below 10% for the first time since 2008, according to figures released on Tuesday."

Spain’s total fertility rate sits around 1.10 to 1.12 children per woman, which is well below the generational replacement level of 2.1. This leaves the country with a natural population deficit, where the native-born population has been declining since 2011. [1, 2, 3]

People will say it's for other reasons but I'm pretty sure everything is done because of money. The ones making decisions wouldn't allow this sort of thing if they didn't think it would help make them rich. Maybe I'm too cynical or it's different in Spain.

There's lots of countries in the same boat. But if they think importing people from countries where people pop out babies they can't afford is the solution, it's not.

Hungary gave massive tax incentives for people who have more kids. Like if you have 4 kids you pay zero income tax for life. I'd like to see that here in Canada as well.

It doesn't work. Hungary is at a TFR of 1.5 child per woman. The west is toasted, and you can't pay them to have children. This didn't work going all the way back to Rome.

They only started their incentives last year or maybe two years ago. Give it time.

Something like 70% of the world is below the proper replacement rate, and the only places that aren't are shitholes like Africa.

This, it doesn’t work and people choosing not to have kids has become a cultural issue , not a financial issue.

And if you bring in immigrants, they will bring the population up and they’ll have kids, but then their kids will have less kids as well. So it’s really just putting a bandaid over a gaping wound, and the bandaid winds up causing cancer

Russia is at 1.3 per 2.1, and they have been trying to incentivize natives to have children for nearly a century.


Like I said, this goes all the way back to when Augustus became the emperor of Rome, and implemented the Julian Reforms to preserve Rome.


And guess what. It didn't work.


The real point is that under western liberal orthodoxy of individualism and its market ideology western governments don't believe in tribalism, and that you can swap any people out and replace any person regardless their geography.


Blood and soil is taboo.


The seeds of the west are encoded with its destruction, and there is no stopping it.


Conservatives cant have their pie and eat it too.


Reproduction is a spiritual issue, on top of many other variables. With the eradication of religion and secularism pleasure overcomes sacrifice.


It's just another symptom of a dying empire with no way to reverse it.


Crying about immigration is wasted energy.


In order for your dear capitalism to work it needs growth across the board. Governments need people to tax. And people to staff their militaries.

Sadly, we may never know the true reason why.

"The governing Socialist Party (PSOE) and its far-left allies actively championed the policy as a tool to defeat the far-right, arguing that integrating foreign nationals into the formal economy eliminates the exploitation and "institutional racism" that fuels extremist narratives."

As long as they dont call us hypocrites as theyre loading us onto the train carts, that would be awful.

At least we'll be able to die with dignity knowing we never stooped to their levels...

The first half of the 20th century seemed to find a happy medium regarding western individualism. Yes there were issues like a Great Depression and a world war, but back then people seemed to believe in individualism while at the same time having a strong community, if that makes sense. They strived to be self sufficient, but if help was needed, there was a tight knit community there to jump in and help. No coercion needed either, people just did what was right.

You saw remnants of that going up until around the aftermath of 9/11. Both of the neighborhoods I grew up in were tight knit. Now neighbors are basically strangers.

I really don’t get conservatives who stand up for the global elite corporations, who in turn utterly despise conservatives and everything they stand for. I’m not a socialist by any means but ok sure, tax their assets etc higher. They despise people like me who believes in tight knit communities and believe in a strong nation whose people built its values

Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to over 3,000,000 illegal aliens.





Meanwhile Obama deported over 2,500,000 illegal aliens.





So the Republicans gave amnesty to over 3,000,000 illegals with the hope they would vote for them???

The stupidly of American Conservatives knows no limit. Or their voters.
Fighting courageously and alone against the ignorant hoards of unwashed conservatives who wage war on Immigrants,the elderly,education,the environment,children,the poor,civil rights,Democracy,Voting Rights,hygiene,and common sense.
