a bad solution to South Korea's demographic crisis

As South Korea ponders the crushing demographic crisis it's facing (not enough children: the country's birth/fertility rate stands at around 0.7 right now, with the ideal for stability and slight growth being 2.1—a bit more than two children replacing two parents), thoughts turn to letting in more immigrants to solve the problem. Paul Joseph Watson, who has seen the effects of bad demographic policy personally, says, "Hell, no." But it may be too late as South Korea steers toward the same cliff that countries like Germany, Italy, France, and the UK have already driven over.* How stupid can a people be? We're about to find out. Again.

For comparison's sake, the US birth rate in 2023 is 1.78—also shrinking like South Korea (albeit not as radically), which means the population as a whole is, on average, getting older. Aging populations are bad news because they mean several things at once: (1) a smaller work force; (2) fewer younger, stronger people to take care of the elderly; (3) a constricting economy (thanks to the shrinking labor force); and (4) more stress on the increasingly overburdened health-care industry—all contributing to a vicious circle.

*And it's not as though the US can sit back and laugh, especially with the horrific demographic hemorrhage happening at the US-Mexico border (thanks, Creepy Uncle Joe!), where more than just Mexicans and other Latin Americans are brazenly marching across.
