Why should we care? We can supplement a new tax base with removal of the border. I won't fall for the nationalist trap that, "my people being born on soil is magically better than people from over seas". Its never made sense to me why we need more children. Additionally we probably need a degrowth mindset in general in order to combat over consumption, and man-made climate change. |

It's not a matter of "better" so much as assimilated vs. not. A country is shaped by the voters. If you change voter demographics too quickly, the new voter base won't have any innate familiarity or respect for the laws that make your country work. It's a basic system stability problem.
Consider this oversimplified scenario: the US has 300m people, do you agree or disagree that bringing in 200m Taliban would be a problem?
If you disagree, then you're living in a dream world. Otherwise you too agree that there's some limit to the rate of immigration that can ensure the stability of the country, we may simply disagree on exactly what that number might be. People who have much lower thresholds just think there are undesirable second and third order effects that push that number lower.
