Bill Clinton Stumps for Harris, Calls for More Immigration Because of ‘Low Birth Rates’
October 15, 2024
The plummeting American birthrate has become a partisan political issue.
On the campaign trail Monday for Vice President Harris, former President Bill Clinton pointed to waning fertility rates as a pretext for more immigration. “We’ve got the lowest birth rate we have had in well over a hundred years,” Clinton told voters in Georgia. With the Harris-Walz logo right over his shoulder and while discussing immigration reform, he added, “We are not at replacement level, which means we have got to have somebody come here if we want to grow the economy.”
