The answer is 1.5 million citizens. That is how much we have lost in the last three decades. The huge amount is the reason we do not talk about it.

Any normal country that was losing the equivalent of a war in population loss every year would be in crisis. It would be a huge issue.

But it is not, we won't talk about it. Congress passed laws so we can't study it. It is taboo because there is something much more important than this huge loss of life.
