    Short term solution. As countries become more affluent the birth rate tends to drop. Globally countries are generally becoming more affluent. So you’ll just shift the problem and run out of immigrants.

        Letting Indians into the US will bring back “Indians” as the majority population. No not decades. For centuries you will not run out of immigrants.

      India has 1.8 BEEELLION population. Do you want a flood ? Almost no Indian would voluntarily giveup migrating to the US or any Western country. Indian politics and situation is corrupt and terrible. And not many people are willing to go through the pain and crap that is living day-to-day in India.

        Assimilation would be an issue but I feel like it’s a solvable issue. And we don’t need to open the floodgates, just open up the tap a little bit more.

      “Short term” here meaning probably “at least a generation” lol

      Even absolute best case scenario, 3rd world countries are faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the level of affluence where birth rates are declining.
