I don't care if working here in a sweatshop is marginally better. I don't want Indian dalits being used to be treated like outcasts in their host society and earning 100€ a month to be the lowest bidder for work in mine.

Besides, what you say is plainly false. Hairdressers are for instance in majority locals, command rather high rates, and are in demand. Maybe we also don't need 6 malls per medium-sized town either.

Of course you don’t care. You don’t have to worry about how a nation functions. You want your wages to be high, taxes low and your social welfare to keep functioning with a 0.9 birth rate.

Also, I don’t believe very many Dalits actually end up leaving India. Indian affirmative action means they essentially get a lot of the best college spots and governments jobs and it’s too cushy to leave.

Actually, if wages are high and taxes are low, chances are that the birth rate will rise :-)

And yes, the principle of public policy should be to care for one's own people first. Maybe India should have not been so nationalistic and allowed the English rulers to stay, so that financiers in London could continue to make fortunes out of the empire? How petty and egoistical of the Indians, right?

> Actually, if wages are high and taxes are low, chances are that the birth rate will rise

Absolutely incorrect. There is not one case of this happening, infact it’s the exact opposite. It’s a common fallacy.

The only correlation for birth rate is that it is inversely correlated with women’s education.

It depends where you are, and the local culture. Besides, if a society wants to have less children, it's a choice that doesn't imply the need for immigration. Let people bear the consequences.

I don’t think any nation is willing to bear the consequence of functional extinction in the next 100 years like South Korea is facing.

[Saline9515]

South Korea won't be extinct in 100 years, it's one of the densest country on earth, if its population reduces by 60% in the meantime it will be dense like...Switzerland. Is Switzerland in the state of "functional extinction"? No. (Also, same density as North Korea).

Meanwhile every Indian flees their awesome home country, and no one complains about the emigration and indian population reduction. Maybe because it's also a way for them to fix the selective abortions and widely biased sex ratio that came as a consequence?
