Or what "political correctness" has to do with any of that. Seems to me that by this point this is just a blanket term for "things I don't agree with". | ||

And how is this welfare going to make them more fertile? People can come here to work from all over the world if they want. I don't care. All people are equal. Being born in a country doesn't give some god given right to get a job over someone else. | ||

Being born in a country doesn't give some god given right to get a job over someone else. Because economic constraints is the main factor in people having few children. Natives have very few to pay the high income tax necessary to sustain the welfare of the inmigrants, who have lots of children. State funded cuckold. | ||

By your logic rich People should drown in children, yet they have less than poor People. Did you even think for a second before you wrote that? | ||

Edit: @ legallord how are to costs minimal for poor people. They still have to feed kids and send them to school and all. Stuff like that is hardly easy to pay when you're having trouble making ends meet. It's a lot bigger percentage of their income. | ||

The amount of tax payers also outnumbers immigrants who need welfare by a lot. Edit: @ legallord how are to costs minimal for poor people.

Because they are less responsible than people with higher income and rely on the welfare state? They know children won't starve to death and kinda wing it from there. The stats are pretty damn clear on this if one takes the time to search them (poorer people/inmigrants have more children than middle class). | ||

They know children won't starve to death and kinda wing it from there. The stats are pretty damn clear on this if one takes the time to search them (poorer people/inmigrants have more children than middle class). There is a difference yes. The difference rapidly decreases though. Basically the first generation has more kids and then the higher fertility already stops. You could make the point that poorer have mlre children because they are less able to oversee the consequences of their actions (I don't know if this is true) but then welfare and money has nothing to do with it (which was the point made). Like the birth rate, the TFR of immigrants has declined more rapidly than the TFR for natives since 2008. In 2008, immigrant women had a TFR of 2.75 children; by 2013 it had fallen to 2.22 — a .53 child decline. For natives it declined from 2.07 to 1.79 — a .28 child decline. If present trends continue, the TFR of immigrants may drop below 2.1 in the next few years, the level necessary to replace the existing population. An immigrant TFR of less than 2.1 would mean that, in the long run, immigration would add to the aging of American society. cis.org The native-born have a 19% higher total fertility rate, while immigrants have 62% higher fertility. onlinelibrary.wiley.com | ||

Now I believe it's mostly a cultural thing. It doesn't change much but at least now I know high welfare doesn't help in increasing fertility rates. edit: by "it" I mean high fertility rate of first generation non-European immigrants | ||

Things are very bad there. Anyway new Austrian election set for Oct 2nd after the vote rigging scandal that saw the green candidate win on postal votes was exposed. So now in October we have Austrian election where the "far right" anti-immigration candidate is likely winner and we also have the Hungarian referendum on accepting refugees which will certainly be rejected. October will be a tough month for the Eurocrat fat cats in Brussels! | ||
