Indulge them? Immigration is crucial to our economic well-being.
No it's not. It's a cheap substitute for able bodied Americans who've decided it's better to sit on their ass and live off welfare than to try and better themselves.
We cannot sustain economic growth without immigration;
Ask the Europeans how that's going...especially in Germany. Merkel tried the same thing you want for us to do and it's been disastrous.
The immigrants coming to the U.S. (as well as Europe) immediately get on the dole...they don't assimilate to the culture of the country they are moving to and in the end become a drag on the economy as well as the governmental budgets.
the birthrate of the native born is at or below replacement level.
And why do you think that is?
And as the baby boomers age, who is going to care for them?
It shouldn't be the Government. If they worked hard contributed to retirement accounts with their company they owed or worked for then the have the means to take care of themselves.
ANyone whose sole retirement "plan" is the government taking care of them is setting themselves up for failure.
