I recall a news story-don't ask me why I remembered this-back in the 70's around 76, I believe, that a 'white paper' which was published almost at the same time both in the U.S. and Canada where the solution to the upcoming social security short fall would be addressed by massive immigration numbers that would feed into the depleted reserves and thereby save the system.
Whether or not this received traction is unknown. Also, whether this could be a major factor or perhaps one of many but it is an interesting thought.

Another post I saw, just today, was the 'expanding economy' pressure for credit ratings. A country needs an expanding economy to keep their credit rating from dropping. A massive influx of immigrants
helps offset the drop in internal population growth and high abortion rates....not to mention a dying economy.
