Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier? (fedia.io)

Wouldn't they benefit from more people? Of course it would come with the condition of learning the language at an acceptable level and that being tied to residency.

That’s a weak argument. Just because I bring up another point of view doesn’t mean I subscribe to the view mentioned, which I don’t.

If a country doesn’t want to allow immigration then that’s perfectly moral. It may eventually kill their culture off in the long run but it’s not xenophobic by definition.

If a country does allow immigration and then is prejudice towards a group coming in then absolutely that’s xenophobic.

Backtrack if you want, but what you said was xenophobic by definition and I'm not going to bother arguing semantics.

Edit: I like how you completely changed your comment after I replied. Very cool
