I don't know about "open borders" but about a million people a year come into the US; about 400k humanitarian migrants and 400k non-working immigration visas in 2022.

I don't think you can say that that's "nearly impossible", and even if it is, the numbers are still very large; by far the most in the world.

US has been the melting pot of the world for centuries, so I'm not surprised it has the most in the world.

That said, this shrinking growth is a worldwide issue. Unless America imports more Africans (again...) and other 3rd world countries to try and balance things out, it's going to be a rough gen Alpha and beyond.
