You're right of course. But beware of the situation of the USA. Big, very big immigration is coming, and the demographics aren't so good. It's already probable whites will be in minority in the US near 2050.
And we know blacks are becoming muslim, e.g. in Florida.

Yes, I'm sure the Apostles and the great missionary saints should have listened to all the sensible souls who told them that the conversion of Europe was possible, but not probable. They should have built bunkers in a few places and stopped preaching the Gospel. Try thinking about the implications of your attitude.

I seem to have missed the part where anyone suggested building bunkers or not making the attempt to reverse the trend.

What does immigration or whites becoming the minority have to do with spreading God's word and reversing the culture of death?

Is is probable? maybe.

It's more complicated for the USA than for Europe, as the immigrants are more often christians than in Europe's case. In Europe however, and the topic of the post was dechristianisation related to demographic winter, it is clear that immigration is a huge factor in the dechristianisation - and the decivilization - of Europe. Directly : because immigrants are mostly muslims, because of the sad effects of immigration (explosion of criminality, communautarism, bad education, violence, rapes...); directly and indirectly because it furnishes a pretext to throw away all the Christian symbols and ban Christian expressions.

Of course the presence of immigrants is also a chance to preach the Gospel to our brothers muslims without being obliged to cross the seas.

But I'm European and I believe the consequences of immigration are different in USA. But too big immigration can induce lose of equilibrium in the country, I don't know if the situation is at that point.
My conviction is also that it is scandalous to let 12 million people or more working for you without giving them protection and status (and without allowing them - if they are working in the country for a long time - to have their family with them - check Catholic social doctrine). We have more or less the same problem in Europe (more or less because it is quite easy to take one's family with him; in fact often even the nephews come also...). The problem is nobody has the guts to do both things : deport (some) illegals - and REALLY acknowledge and welcom immigrants. I don't have a fixed position on amnistia and how exactly to handle the problem I mentionned.
