Even before the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Trump has broad power to deport hundreds of thousands of migrants living legally in the U.S. under temporary protected status, David Bier feared the U.S. was slipping toward a demographic cliff.

“We’re destined to be there, in short order, there’s no question,” Bier said. “We’re already seeing a situation where most counties in the United States had more deaths than births.”

An expert on population and immigration at the libertarian Cato Institute, Bier believes the U.S. is beginning to look more like China, Italy and South Korea. Those nations face rapid aging and population decline.

      Yup. They don’t care if white colllar jobs are outsourced and population declines. The remaining people will be forced to work hard labor jobs and be paid a pittance, all while a small portion are living it up.

      I believe that’s also the exact definition of a third world country.

          I thought it was a country that has an extremely wide gap between the rich and poor with almost no discernible middle class.
