Some demographers are saying the United States might see a population decline in 2020 already due Covid-19 (I don't believe though), so the US has clearly aging issues.

By 2030, considering life expectancy in the US, we'll see people born in the early 1950's to die en masse. We're talking about 4 million deaths/year. Births are declining and might be just above 3 million by 2030. That's where Germany is today.

Regardless immigration, Americans got older and will become even older in the future.
