    Requiring proficiency in the language is reasonable, but requiring everyone to be richer than the average member of the population and have enough money banked to live off of for 30 years seems insane. That goes well beyond simply making sure that people are able to care for themselves.

        There is exactly one solution to that problem: raising the birth rate by any means necessary. There is no nation without natalism.

        Also, reducing immigration without natalism will result in economic collapse. Old people are extremely expensive. The old tax the young to pay for themselves. If there are no young people to tax, the music will stop quite abruptly.
