Charles Cormier argues immigration solves demographic crisis in aging countries like Japan and China. He points to Indian Americans in Silicon Valley and Jewish communities as examples of highly productive immigrant groups whose children drive economic growth.

When I was in school most recently, we had an economist who said, you know, the winners in immigration are almost always the company, or always the countries that accept people. And, you know, we can look at the United States. It tends to be the children of immigrants that are some of the most productive people in society.
I mean, check Indian Americans in Silicon Valley, for example. It's like so obvious. Jews also, Jews are extremely productive.
So, you know, like one, there's just like a kind of a nearsightedness. You know, to kind of get a little more timely with it, we are looking at a demographic crisis globally. We don't talk about this kind of silver tsunami enough. When we look at societies like Japan, to an extent China, the US is kind of trending there as well. Immigration is an opportunity to really kind of buck the trend of demographic collapse. We are absolutely facing that as a society.
