Countries are allowed to feel frustrated at demographic shifts due to immigration
Many countries around the world place a strong emphasis on preserving their national, ethnic, or cultural identity, and they would likely resist large-scale immigration if they believed it would significantly alter their society. In that context, why are Western countries often expected to accept very high levels of immigration, even when it can rapidly change the culture, demographics, and social fabric of a country within a relatively short period of time?
Why is it considered unacceptable in many Western debates to question whether this model is sustainable, especially when it can seem like governments are relying on continuous population growth to support aging welfare systems, labor markets, and public finances?
Shouldn’t Western countries have the same right as any other nation to decide how much immigration they want, what kind of cultural continuity they wish to preserve, and whether current immigration levels are socially and economically sustainable?
We need to restructure our society to work without an infinitely increasing population and leverage technology to achieve more with less workers, why do we have to accept this ponzi scheme
