Immigration

The UN is projecting mass immigration to Western developed nations by the year 2050 as the earths population swells by another 2.5 billion people. If not for this mass immigration, nearly all developed Western nations would experience a population decline due to a continuing trend of birth rates below the 2.1 replacement threshold. Such changes will radically impact the demographic make up of Western developed nations in the years to come.

Why is this happening? Although it seems counter intuitive on the surface, nature promotes high birth rates when the odds against survival increases. Hence, this is why poor nations have high birth rates and wealthy nations have low birth rates as a general rule. Biologically the goal in nature is the perpetuation of the bloodline and given high rates of poverty and disease in poor nations, families instinctively have many offspring to ensure that some survive, as well as for economic reasons.

Children have a greater value in under developed nations as opposed to developed nations. I don't mean that children are loved any more or less, but that they have different economic value. Children also serve as a source of income and social security in poor nations. In countries with large rural populations, such as in Africa, the more children to work the land helps the household survive. Moreover, these poor workers don’t have pension and government social security so they are dependent upon their children to take care of them in old age. This creates a type of strong interdependency between the generations and helps to promote strong family constructs.

In the West, on the other hand, children seem to be more of a burden in developed nations, as they are not needed for income or for social security. Moreover, so many women in the Western world are chasing careers and money that having large families gets in the way of that objective. Through pensions, IRA’s, Social Security and the like, adults are expected to fund their own retirement and do not want to burden their children. The result of this is that there is little economic benefit in having children in developed nations and children are often more of a financial and time burden, even though they are loved.

Regardless of how much wealth has been created in the West, by the metrics of nature the West is the least successful. Here in the West life expectancy is long while birth rates are low. In undeveloped nations, life expectancy is short and birth rates are high. It seems intuitive then that the solution to the population problems of both the highly developed and undeveloped nations is a redistribution of wealth. Wealth is what has lowered the birth rates in highly Developed nations and the absence of wealth is what keeps birth rates so high in undeveloped nations.

The economies of the West must currently open the doors to immigration to keep their economies buoyant and help fund the retirement of an aging population. Many people curse immigration for the “diversity” and multiculturalism it brings that they feel threatens their way of life. However, if not for immigration that way of life would gradually become extinct anyway due to the low birth rates that such a way of life promotes. The only hope is for Western Nations to increase their birth rates, but most don’t want to deal with the added financial and time burden of raising more children.

There is bound to be a racial backlash from all of this as well. Whites will start to see their culture and existence under threat from growing diversity. Soon, as minorities become the majority in more areas, Euro centric curriculum and points of view will be augmented with other perspectives and points of views. There is already such a backlash-taking place in Europe as Immigrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia is creating tensions in the white community. America is not in as bad a shape as Europe, but the same trends are taking place here as well.
