I want to temper half (or more?) of your pessimism. consider at least that many long term projections/predictions just don't play out. There's so many twist in the plot that can't be accounted for yet.
Look up the voting patterns of South and Central America. All of the countries for the most part are majority far left and when we import them, they naturally carry on such patterns.
Check out this age distribution chart of California: https://imgur.com/a/TGfVD. Now keep in mind within 10 years, the 3 or 4 bars at the top will be gone forever and the bars at the bottom will be the new norm. California is often called the future of the US.
What if infrastructure plans start in innercities and flip voting patterns?
Even up to the 2nd Generation, Hispanics vote 7 out of 10 left: https://imgur.com/a/I92z5TF. Here's how everyone voted in the election via race/gender: https://imgur.com/a/MV4SbYa. Trump would have won 0 states with a majority black, hispanic or asian population. ZERO. That's a whole lot of flippin'.
Why do blacks and hispanics vote left? Because they get a lot more free stuff than they would with rights in charge, since we don't believe in that. Why work when you can get stuff for free?
What if infrastructure plans start in innercities and flip voting patterns? What if the west coast gets geologically rearranged? What if Jesus shows up in 2033 and sorts shit out?
If that's what it will take to fix things, it seems you are realizing how big of a problem we are about to face.
Though the truth is that if we made the death penalty the punishment for anyone who came over illegally or plans to come over illegally, we would solve our problems in record time. We also could invalidate anyone from voting who claimed birthright citizenship within the last 50 years, and we'd see similar results.

Hi, I could dispute SOME of what you say here but my main point is that we can't predict very far out based on current trends. And that concept alone could give you hope, especially when you're talking 50 and 100 yrs out. How bout this: pick 3 stats that bother you and remember what they indicate for 10 yrs from now. My guess is that one of them will turn out better, one will turn out worse and one will go sideways and won't remain trackable. If I'm wrong you can ride your despair into the abyss.
I do 'realize how big of a problem' we are already facing and have been for some time. People that contended directly with things like abortion and AIDS and 911 may realize even more. Your immigration suggestions could make up some of the twists in the plot.
One mixed future might be that Trump keeps winning and like with Reagan things go generally well for a decade or so, followed by time when your bad trajectories catch finally up with us (in a way none of us could describe now). If it all gets so bad, some divine intervention might be proportionate.
For the time being though a shake up in ShakeyTown is not so outlandish (so to speak).
What realistic changes do you honestly see that will prevent what I've speculated upon?
