The first Baby Boomers turned 70 in 2016. At the same time, the US fertility rate is at its lowest point since records began in 1909. This disastrous combination means that by 2030, those aged 65 or older will make up over 20% of the population (78 million elderly Baby Boomers).
What will become a catastrophic event in 2030, is already causing inflation and other problems in 2021. These economic and social difficulties in the time of COVID is only a preview of what will happen by 2030 if the leaders in the United States do not fix, improve and update the U.S immigration system.
The Congress, in its short-sided and racist approach to
immigration, is making our nation less competitive against
China and creating a system that does not have enough workers
to care for the elderly or our infrastructure.
