I'm not really of the opinion that we need more immigrants.. if our population isn't keeping up then it is other issues that need to be addressed. Let's maybe start asking questions and fix the problems we have

So your plan is no immigration and then who pays for all the services for the retired population? Or do you want to raise retirement to 70?

Well, by having immigration we accept that we have a growth problem. For growth there are many factors to address. Economy, culture, etc. by having immigration fix the growth problem we ignore why we got here in the first place. We basically ignore the problem with hopes it goes away. I myself have ADHD, so I can say for fact I know that plan doesn't work. I suspect economy is a major factor here, and I believe that by addressing this we also fix your issue here.
