Rush Enlightens Us on the Census and Illegal Immigration May 6, 2021 JASON: There is something, though, that is out this week that must be addressed. And Rush did a great job of it a few years ago. And I want to replay that because the rationale for open borders by so many on the left and on the Chamber of Commerce right is, “Oh, gosh, we don’t have workers, so we’ve gotta basically take in everybody else.” And there is a grain of truth in everything, but in this particular case you can extrapolate that to the birthrate. We now have the lowest birthrate, the lowest birthrate since 1979. It fell 4% last year to about 3.5 million babies, six straight annual declines. It’s actually quite shocking if you think about it. They declined 4%. That’s about double the average rate of decline in the last few years. People — the DINKs (Double Income No Kids) — are not having kids. They’re not understanding what family is.
