Now come on, you know that never happens and even if it does it makes no difference...
Anyway, it doesn't matter where these people come from - whether via migration or birth rates, the argument that we must have continued and significant population growth to keep us going is as much nonsense on a national level as it is on a global level. If anything, the problem is too many people living too long.
