What about situations where migrants come over, have no kids and then just increase the aging population problem.

I agree that economic migration is good in the short and medium term for as long as they are economically active, but does that contribution turn into a negative once they are in their retired years - or are retired people still good for the economy.

All in all it's better, but is it front loaded such that in the end there is a tail off that is detrimental to the economy?

I'm concerned about the non-intuitive factors and unknown/unknowable data.
