US is pretty unique in the Western world in that it is not actually facing a dying population. However, almost all of its population growth is coming from minorities (soon to be majorities). So we don't really need to import people.

Personally, I think there are too many people in the world already and we are taxing the Earth resources to the limit. I don't see the population cliff problems as a big problem in the large scheme of things.

In a short span, humanity has gone from 100 million to 7 billion and is on track to reach 9 billion. Somewhere around 2 - 4 billion is the sustainable population. We will get there either voluntarily or in couple of generations we'll kill each other over natural resources and get there involuntarily. Better to do it peacefully.
