More people in Europe are dying than are being born, according to a new report co-authored by a Texas A&M University demographer. In contrast, births exceed deaths, by significant margins, in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., with few exceptions.
Texas A&M Professor of Sociology Dudley Poston, along with Professor Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire, and Professor Layton Field, Mount St. Mary's University, published their findings in Population and Development Review this month.
The researchers find that 17 European nations have more people dying in them than are being born (natural decrease), including three of Europe's more populous nations: Russia, Germany and Italy. In contrast, in the U.S. and in the state of Texas, births exceed deaths by a substantial margin.

This isn't news to the Leaders of the EU, especially in Germany. It was in the press [washingtonpost.com] that Mekle considered this fact when she offered the refuges/migrants the ability to enter and stay. Falling birth rates [ibtimes.com] have been a big issue for Germany more than other countries.
There is no way that the current birth rate can support the cradle to grave nanny state benefits that Germany provides to its citizens. An'd there's no way the EU needed those good old boys from Texas to tell them that.
Europe’s aging population needs a younger population to look after its elderly, work in healthcare and move to more rural areas that are being emptied out by population decline and economic flight. Europe’s countries are “no longer self-sustaining,” according to the Guardian, citing government spending on pensions among other indicators.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

It seems like treason from the aging and frightened population...
They are so afraid of dying lonely, that they fill the country with muslims...
