The England and Wales fertility rate is 1.44. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnvj3j27nmro https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnvj3j27nmro Without immigration, future demographics will be fucked. Which means government finances, welfare, and the NHS. That's one thing I don't get about anti-immigration opinions: it's burying ones head in the sand about demographic problems. The real debate, if there is one to be had, should be about enculturation / integration and policies around that. (Because unless developed countries substantially increase their fertility rate, immigration is a non-negotiable requirement)
