>I'm a boomer. I remember clear back in the 70's learning about social security insolvency and why we need immigrants to come in and prop up our retirement
This is because boomers KNEW social security was a PONZI scheme. Simple thought experiment. Say it takes 10 workers to support ONE retiree. Say average life expectancy is 78 years. By the time Boomer retires, the population of America needs to have TEN times the baby boom generation to support them for 13 years (78-65).

That ten times population when THEY turn 65 need their own TEN TIMES population to support them, rinse and repeat.

This is by definition exponential growth and can never last.

BTW, Canada's population growth (via Jeet importation) is exponential (3%) with a doubling time of 23 years. Here's the numbers for Canada.

In the space of one man's lifetime, (70 years) at current growth rates Canada's population will grow to 320 million, at a 3% per year growth.
2024: 40 million (start)
2047: 80 million
2070: 160 million
2094: 320 million
