Who says we are going to 50 million ?
I'm sure some people said in the past that 10 million was too many people .
Technology has allowed us to come this far and everyday it is finding ways to do more with less. We are cleaning up the environment. In many ways the environment is cleaner than it was decades ago.
No burning rubbish in backyards. No lead paint or leaded fuels. Precipitators fitted to power stations. No dumping of untreated waste into rivers and streams. Stricter and stricter emission rules and so on......
Babies might be in vogue again ? Across the western world it has been demonstrated that the more educated and wealthy women become, the less children they have.
Where's our manufacturing ? Who would do those jobs without immigration ? The baby boomers ?
Old people as a liability ? People are living longer but they are doing it in the unproductive ( from a tax and working perspective point of view ) part of their lives. That means that they are costing more and more .
You are hoping that people will undergo a cultural change and start looking after their parents themselves ??? Maybe you should get out a bit more ?
So, as usual. No real answers to the reduce immigration debate. Just more waffle as usual.
