Whitedog, I kinda like your posts, but marxist view of history is way too off in some cases and you do not seem to acknowledge this (as all other marxist historians). Some things cannot be explained in economical terms - and I do not see what's wrong with it. Humans are not only money and labour.

These are facts.

I don't see what is hard for you to understand?

In reality fertility rates of immigrants go down to the average of the country they live in quite rapidly. The same reasons to keep families small apply to immigrants as well.

Not true - they have access to Welfare in a way that does not apply to natives.

Also you guys justifying everything make me sick. Do you even have respect for your country, the people who died for it, your grandparents? You would sell your soul for political correctness...

I have very little respect for the country my grandparents fought for, no.

But then I don't get how that is relevant at all when discussing immigration in the first place. 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?

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.

The cost of a child is how much it costs to raise it to be competitive at the socioeconomic class you are a part of, both in terms of money and effort. The wealthier you are, the higher that cost, so everyone except those with more money than they could ever need (billionaires) tends to have fewer children. For the very poor, the effort is minimal so they can have more children without much trouble.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

His whole point makes no sense. Immigrants and people on welfare have less money available (the whole reason they receive welfare obviously). The amount of tax payers also outnumbers immigrants who need welfare by a lot.

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.

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).

I can't speak for Europe, but here in the US, most states make welfare programs fairly difficult to apply for, contrary to what many would argue otherwise. Those people, inevitably, have little to no experience with how entitlements actually work.

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.

Some time ago I read that Polish women in the UK have much more kids than Polish women in Poland (~2.1 per woman vs ~1.3 per woman). That lead me to believe that there has to be something with welfare or living conditions of lower class in the UK that makes the immigrants more likely to have multiple children. Turns out that statistic was false/manipulation. Polish women have more or less the same amount of kids everywhere but since most of the emigrants are 25-35 year old, naturally their fertility rate is higher than average.

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

Civil war in France soon, it is inevitable.
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!

Bullshit, civil war will never happen. Revolution maybe. You see any important desire for regional secession in France ? Any party that defend actually radical ideas ? Or even muslim parties ?
