Well that doesn't make any sense. Why would we need to a solution for declining birthrates?

I look at other countries who have a severe declining birthrate problem, Japan for instance. Their problems are small businesses are shutting down and small country towns are being abandoned. The yen is also weak though I'm not sure if that's attributed to low birthrates. But the country as a whole is doing well. It's safe, and people are living life the way they want to. There is also enough funds to have well developed infrastructure. Innovation is a bit lacking though.

While in USA there is a shortage of jobs, abundant businesses, and the dollar is strong, yet lots of violence due to meshing of different cultures. Even if an argument is made that this is all because we have allowed immigration for the past several decades. The situation has changed an that argument is no longer valid. Right now there needs to be a focus on making what we have work well instead of adding bigger problems, or making our already big problems bigger.

Japan is facing a financial crisis when there aren't enough people paying into social security relative to the number of people who will draw on it. So does the US, but later than Japan.

Well social security is an unnecessary and was probably made to be a big scam. It was created right before WWII, and at a time when many more wars were probably thought to also happen in the future. People are forced to pay into it as extra taxes from their check, but if they die early they never get their social security. Even if they have a wife, the wife will also have to pay into social security and will get "whatever is higher", and not combined amount.

So the person who created probably figured most people will die before they get to withdraw from social security, while allowing for a way to get extra taxes.

You are right in part: we do not need immigration as a solution for our declining birth rates.

We do need to change the trend on their birthrates, or at least protect our group.

The point of the post was to share how the numbers are HUGE and to understand THEIR thinking, their intention with the narrative of blending in, assimilate (us to them, that is), "coexist"
