Even though right-wing politicians decry immigration (because it's a populist viewpoint), they secretly or openly want more. Countries without low immigration will lag economically compared to countries with high immigration such as the US.

What you mention are indeed major problems, but the main problem is still the ageing demographic. Even everybody paying into one pot won't fix the mismatch between payers and recipients we're going into in the coming years.
