CBO: Without immigration, U.S. population will shrink starting in 2031

In that analysis, we cited projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released in January, which forecasted that deaths would begin to outpace births by 2031, meaning immigration would become the sole driver of population growth from that point forward. 

From a policy standpoint, these demographic trends will place increasing pressure on public finances. Rising costs for healthcare and entitlement programs will coincide with a shrinking base of working-age taxpayers, creating long-term fiscal challenges that could complicate budgetary planning and sustainability.

DYI:  My stance for legal immigration (for the record I’m against illegal immigration) is akin to a college coach recruiting the top players for his/her team.  As a nation – Team America – recruit young men and women from 25 to 35 years of age to immigrate to the good old U.S. of A. 

Skilled workers where there is a shortage exampled by doctors, nurses, engineers of all types, plumbers, HVAC, electricians, elevator repair etc. 

People who can and will hit the ground running immediately working, saving and investing plus that all important tax paying.  Since this is being accomplished by government sponsored recruiters the numbers immigrating per year and by skill will be set by national goals.  Along with background checks to keep out anyone who has a criminal past.
