Newsflash: The bigger your population the more workers you need. More immigration -> more workers required -> more immigration. There are many countries in the world with below replacement birth rates that aren't collapsing like neoliberals say they should.
I see your point, however, part of the problem is that nobody under 40 years old seems to want to fill the jobs that require physical labor. We have a shortage in virtually all trades. Even if our population was declining, we'd still need people who are willing to do those jobs. Also, our drug addict/homeless problem is getting worse (watch the documentary "Vancouver is Dying". Those aren't immigrants shooting up and stealing all of our shit to buy drugs.
