This is not a sustainable solution.

This is kicking the can down the road.

The population of any closed system, whether country, continent, or even planet, cannot grow indefinitely. And any system that expects indefinite growth to sustain itself will invariably become exhausted when rate out exceeds rate in for a sufficient duration.

Immigration alone may be a stopgap, but it is by no means a solution.
