The largest urban counties in the U.S. kept growing last year because of immigrants. Among those were the core counties of Houston, Miami and Phoenix, which grew by more people than any other counties in the country.

Both the US and my own country (Australia) are below the replacement fertility rate (~2.1). Without immigration, there simply won't be enough people to keep things going over the coming decades as the population slowly ages out. I seriously doubt the average anti-immigration rightwinger understands this.

I think the point is to collapse the nation. Not to grow it.
