Asylum hotels

Imagine a small island of 20 goats, each has 1.5 offspring on avg, so the population is in decline. Then 2 sheep come every year and settle, they have 3 offspring. You can change the numbers as you like. But you can see that the goats are being replaced with the sheep.

Hence using the generally accepted definition of foreigner - the sheep off-spring aren't foreigners, because they were born there and so on for their offspring.

To illustrate a replacement of the goats, with sheep, which is clearly happening, we cannot use the term foreigner.
You forgot to include death rates in your pointless analogy. FAIL. (n)

Oh dear poor Nosenout, struggles again...

"Imagine a small island of 20 goats, each has 1.5 offspring on avg, so the population is in decline."
The population cannot be in decline if they do not die.
"But you can see that the goats are being replaced with the sheep."
The population cannot be replaced if they do not die.
 
The population can be in decline if the birth rate falls below a certain level and elderly people live longer.
 
I see no death rates only that they (obviously) die. FAIL (n)
keep showing how stupid you are if you want.

but not if they live for ever. No amount of sheep coming to the island will ever replace the goats, if they do not die at some point.

Japan has had that problem for a few years now. It's the birth rate, not the death rate they're concerned about.

Death rates are a crucial statistic when dicussing population scenarios. MBK is renowned for only including information in posts, that he wants the gullible morons to see.

it is implicit in the description of the model that both the sheep and the goats die at some point. If they didn't, the goats would never be replaced by the sheep.

I didn't think I would have to explain that goats and sheep being animals do actually die.

…and still no death rates. FAIL (n)
