<<Japan's demographics are where the US will be (absent immigration) in 25 years.>> But the very fact of net positive US immigration is, and will continue to be, a benefit to the US economy and makes our situation completely different from the Japanese. Cheap labor migrating to the US has had a significant damping effect on US inflation. And immigrant labor is part of the entrepenurial engine that has driven this country in the last 150 years. If Japan wanted to jump-start their economy they would do likewise. At a minimum it would compensate for an ageing population and provide more dynamism to their economy. If the US reverses its open immigration policy it will suffer a fate similar to Japan, IMO. Regards, Ken.
