And with the current immigration levels, the US will be declining by the end of this decade when baby boomers will start to die out. If they want population increases, attitudes towards immigration must change otherwise decline is inevitable.

don't conflate people's attitudes toward immigration with their attitudes toward *illegal* immigration. big difference. most Americans are descendants of immigrants, if not immigrants themselves. most have done so legally, going through the process. it's the open border that most people object to, letting in millions of people illegally.
