The problem is that they need workers now and not in 20 years.

You’re right. I didn’t write clearly. What I should have said is that if you think bringing in foreign workers is your solution to fixing the declining population, then you need to give those foreign workers permanent residence instead of giving them temporary work visas.

In other words, I was assuming the context of the article was known to readers without clearly stating so. Oops!
