Sure there is. Somebody is going to have to work and Europeans are not producing children. You are going to have elderly, geriatric states. What are you going to do when you're all old and on the government's tit like you all are? And who is going to fight your wars?
For whatever reason European nations aren't producing children fast enough, the fertility rate, it is happening. The men are probably less virile and their women probably have acidic vaginas.
Have you seen some of their tax rates over there? It's no wonder they only have 1-2 children, if any at all.
Besides, I've said it before, a plateauing population is actually a
good thing. The people who make these arguments that "the population is getting old, quick, let's let third-worlders flood us so we can leech off their labor" are so short-sighted. What happens when the new arrivals begin to have less children? Gotta bring in even more people to care-take the next crop of elderly.
No, we just need to deal with the fact that we're going to have an older generation or two for a while and get through it. Fuck me, world population was what at the end of WW2? 2 billion or something? I don't remember, but in the last 50-75 years world population has exponentially exploded. We can't just keep up this attitude, "Population growth! Population growth, Rah-rah-rah it's best for the economy! Population growth!" This problem is amplified when you consider how costly the American/Western ideal lifestyle is.
