Dear MEL Topic Readers,

What America would look like with zero immigration

The United States of America had been a country of opportunity and dreams for people coming from different corners of the world seeking a better life for themselves and their families, only until recently when the former administration nearly zeroed new arrivals. It is both a humanitarian obligation as well as a legacy of the nation. It also has been and will be the way to drive and secure the country’s wealth, prosperity, and future. Without a steady inflow of immigrants, the US population will decrease, so will the workforce, innovation, productivity, diversity, and social security funding. Especially, an increase in working and reproduction age populations is crucial for sustainable growth. If there were no immigrants, twice as many elderly persons will need to be sustained by the same number of working-age people just in four decades. This is actually no new news in other already developed aging societies like Japan where there are very few immigrants are admitted. Yes, immigrants and their families have been and will be a vital source of growth for America, and probably for other aging developed countries.

Enjoy reading the article and think if historic human migration would help the world grow more sustainably not only in the economy and productivity but also for the environment.
