The US was one of the few countries not facing the economic ramifications of this because so many people want to immigrate here.
Conservative fail to understand the economic benefits immigrants offer our country, and instead are pushing us toward the crisis every other country is working hard to solve. The only solution as they see it is to force white women to have babies whether they want them or not.
