"In South Korea and Japan for example, very low birth rates combined
with few immigrants and high life expectancy have led to a
dwindling workforce and a rapidly growing elderly population. These
countries may be in serious trouble. Bears thinking about."

South Koreans have thought about it Foxy.
They aren't as stupid as we are and they said "Hell No!" and pointed their fingers directly at the UN refugee policy.

The corporate media won't tell you about South Korea because it doesn't have a BS narrative for people like yourself to eat up.

Which basically shows you news is propaganda to sell you a narrative.
The word 'idiot box' seems relevant right now.

Japan is doing very well with zero immigration. They are still much smarter than we are. They don't have to worry about Muslim atrocities and Left wing cranks. They still have manufacturing industries. They are not subjects of the United Nations as are Western countries. They mind their own business.

//I hypothesise that you don't see yourself as being an Australian any more than you see yourself as an immigrant right?

And because you primarily see yourself as an immigrant, you'll always vote for more immigrants.
The difference between you and me is I don't see myself as an immigrant.//

//You see my family's been here for 8 or 9 generations.
Why would I see myself as an immigrant Foxy? Why? It doesn't make sense.//

The fewest my family have been here for is 3, on my maternal grandfather's side - his mother came out on the boat from Ireland. All the other branches of the family tree can be traced back further than that, although I can't remember exact numbers off the top of my head.

7/8 of my great-grandparents weren't immigrants, none of my grandparents were and my parents definitely weren't. I don't consider myself an immigrant either, AC. But I don't fear and despise recent arrivals the way you seem to (I do think the quantity we're bringing in is too high, but I object to the scale not the principle). How do you explain that, if the lack of xenophobia is caused by people considering themselves to be immigrants? Doesn't make much sense, does it?

My theory is that it's because most of my ancestry can be traced back to Ireland. So I'm perhaps a little bit more aware than others that a hundred years or so ago, it was the Irish on the receiving end of this sort of nonsense:

Any of those criticisms of the Irish sound a bit familiar to you? And that's why it seems to me that, well, I'll let Dame Shirley Bassey explain it for you through the medium of song:

Their population is already declining and set to continue its downwards trajectory. If you think that's not going to cause them any economic woes, you're dreaming.

Ordinary people have to realise that we are becoming less important to the elites all the time. With careful breeding and automation, they will need fewer and fewer of us. The political class (it has already turned into one amorphous blob) already knows that it can push through legislation we don't approve of and have never asked for). Mass immigration is one of them: illiterate, low wage immigrants to do the jobs we won't do – cleaning, driving taxis, mistreating old people in smelly nursing homes – the types who will accept low wages so that welfare can be removed altogether. High energy prices that only the elites can afford. The writing is on the wall. Get rid of the middle class; replace them with cheap peons.
