    Except that US has an aging population and it’s going to get worse in future because the birth rates aren’t that high. Closing off border is going to fuck US in the long run.

      Yeah, but by then all the old people making the decisions will have milked the system dry and died.

      Oh I agree the closing off the border is dumb. Only a tiny fraction of illegal immigration is over the border anyways: the vast majority is people overstaying Visa’s.

      But the whole “aging population” issue is just more propaganda from corporate interests to try to find ways to get more workers and continue to suppress wages.

      Why is the population aging in the first place? No one can afford to have children.
