Could it be that these children who are invading will become our salvation from our demographic cliff? Will they make possible the salvation of social security? Mitigate the deflationary spiral through increased demand for housing and consumer goods?

All children are suckers at the bottom. Nature guarantees it. But children grow into adults. Ponzi schemes require ever increasing participants at the bottom of the pyramid. Baby Boomers are old. The generations following them are too small to fund Boomers' & Gen-Xer old age. An expanding population of young workers is desperately needed. Without an expanding population of young workers the US is bound to decline economically, especially since the economy is founded on consumer goods. Without young workers raising families and spending money there is no way to beat deflation.

There are other alternatives; one is to follow the Bernanke recipe (quantitative easing): print more rubber/fiat/script dollars in the pursuit of prosperity. It is interesting that the Fed has spent the last several years pursuing quantitative easing while at the same time trying to pervert the financial system (Federal Reserve regs to member banks) so that those in possession of the new script - the script that they are under the illusion is theirs - so that they cannot use it as per Fed regulations. By so doing the Fed believes that the cash will never find its way into general circulation and thus will not give rise to inflation - a plan that must ultimately fail given the creative nature of the mind of man; as exhibited by the current run-up in the stock market, and record margin borrowing. Periods of modest deflation will simply encourage the Fed, to give them if you will, a false sense of security to print ever Increasing amounts of fiat currency. Fiat cash is the invisible tax that leads to ever increasing income that gives the illusion of well being, until it is realized that ever increasing prices permit the purchase less and less. The scheme will be the last gasp, and it will work only so long as anyone will accept the shrinking notes/script.

The frightening part is that there are those who believe that they can control the avarice and greed of creating money without cost - as in: poof. It should be noted greed is greed and it makes little difference where it's found Main Street, Wall Street, or Washington. The solution isn't more peons, sucking from the welfare teat, paying zero taxes. The only solution that has reliably worked over time is HONEST business: new products, new customers, new markets - only that has been shown to work consistently over time. Create what currently doesn't exist, make it so that it benefits the largest number of people, make it affordable, then sell it to everyone who seeks its benefit; then obsolete it by making it better - promote the changing of the world, then fill the demand.

There is more, but I've already said too much.

What if the people flooding into the country fail to contribute to the system. It's a statistically fact that the Latino population takes out billions more than they pay into it. If the illegal Latino population (70% of the Mexican population is illegal) was expelled from California , California's fiscal deficit would virtually disappear. The average Latino anchor baby is raised on taxpayer supported welfare. How will that boost the economy? (Am I racist for pointing this out?)

The third world immigrant population (and I'm including many Eastern Europeans) is crashing out the social welfare system in Western Europe. That's why UKIP and other anti-immigrant parties are scoring 25% of the vote (or higher).

I wouldn't mind it as much if America had millions of hard working law abiding Japanese immigrants flooding into it; however, most of these immigrants are unskilled migrants from crime ridden failed states(and that is what the average third world country really is). Letting in a few people at a time forces assimilation into the culture. Letting in 35 million illegals means transforming modern nations into third world failed states.

Historians (well, if there are any in the future), will look back at the west and sneer at the self-inflicted wounds that lead to our disappearance.

When I think of the condition of America Europe, one saying comes to mind: " Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society."

Just curious ...... Are young workers "desperately needed" to keep the Grand Ponzi Scheme alive so that the (eventual) total collapse of the system (guaranteed) is preferable to "deflation"? I'm just trying to get a handle on your post.

Here's that handle you're looking for.

http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article44022.html
How can a country grow with a declining workforce?
It can't. America's workforce will decline because its workforce is aging. Social programs will decline because the generations coming behind the old people are smaller in number than the old people. Since Americans refuse to have the 2.1 children per couple that economic growth requires, the essential bodies can only come from immigration of young people or euthanization of old people. Or economic/crisis war that kills off the old and the weak.

Pick your poison.
