    What happens if all countries were doing well enough for immigration to slow down? Like not having constant wars and dictatorships?

    What happens if your country becomes less appealing to immigrants, or gets a short surge of anti immigration leadership like the US?

    If an increase in population is necessary to support retirement and your own population can’t sustain that, then you are propping up a system that requires other countries to be worse off. That cannot continue indefinitely.

        I think you are assuming that my comment was trying to invalidate yours instead of expanding on it with my own observation.

            I didn’t say that you suggested anything or that you need to explain anything.

            Have you had a discussion where people expanded on and added to other people’s comments before or is this a new experience?

        It also means there is a disincentive to help bring up the rest of the world because that would reduce the rate of immigration.
