People said that about every immigrant group once upon a time in the US esp. Irish & Italians.

But if a culture wants to create something fundamentally different than what my culture here is, why should that be respected? I don’t want women to never work and be on welfare bc their religion forbids them from leaving the house without a man and they have children they can’t afford (see Muslim population in Denmark as one example).

It's a bit different in Germany. Germans are heavily encouraged to have immigrants live with them in their households. The government will pay for you to house Ukrainians but even so, they exist together in a way that doesn't happen here in the US. When they took a bunch of Syrian and Afghan migrants, they plopped them by handfuls into little German villages, etc. The idea was full integration. It hasn't really "taken." I have a weird penchant for talking to new immigrants in Germany about their experiences and every one of them has mentioned that Germany is difficult to assimilate into and that they want to go home. Even Germans that work in the social system to help immigrants express disdain for their cultures-- Americans have a lot to work on, but we generally believe that cultures should be respected. That isn't a super European viewpoint.

The majority of Jewish people support open borders and lax immigration control in all countries except for Israel

It’s an interesting double standard

Oh god it’s you again but now repeating your crap in this thread? Go away.

What I also don’t understand is why they can’t invite immigrants from Eastern Europe.. well now they have Ukrainians but before? Why bring in masses from the Middle East?

Why do all these articles about declining population always focus on creating policies to increase migration as the only solution?

Because the other choices:

1. Reduced consumption

2. Boosting native childbirth

Are politically virtually impossible

1. Voluntary degrowth is fine on a personal level (I willingly do it — cycle/walk to the store vs car even though it takes longer or use cold showers daily even in the winter or never really use air conditioning) — but western people as a whole don’t want to accept this

2. Native childbirth boosting policy outside of israel is impossible — even right wing scholars like Lyman stone — concede the cost in public support to induce additional births is extremely high.

Israel makes it work because: 1. Jews are the chosen people

2. Per capita consumption in Israel is still way lower than the us — even most American Jews would struggle to shift their current consumption habits to fit Israeli levels

The reality is that the Germans solved this issue already with their marriage loans system. In short the system gave a newlywed couple a subsidized loan for housing, and then a quarter of the loan was forgiven for each child that was born to the couple.

As for being "too expensive," it is amazing what governments can find money for and what they cannot. If it benefits the people, it is always too expensive.
