The United States will need 2 million immigrants/year to keep growing at current rates for the next decades.
Could you tell us where will you pull those "talented" 2 million?

Population decline is a gradual process. China is facing shrinking birthrates and an ageing population but their population is still predicted to peak at around 1.4 billion in 10-15 years compared to 1.3 billion now before it begins to drop. Even then, China will still have roughly a billion by the end of the century. Sub-Saharan Africa and India will continue to fuel global population growth for the foreseeable future. The 2 million immigrants the US needs won't be an obstacle for centuries.
As for the US, our birthrate is below replacement levels and the population is growing due to immigration but even their birthrates are dropping.
