The first quote shows a serious misunderstanding of how demographics work. These nations have declining populations and huge elderly populations. Over the next few decades those large generations will die and the new old generation will be todays rather small young population.
I think "Green" means Arab/Middle Eastern. There's definately some xenophobia here. I know there's structural problems with immigration (dislocation, brain drain, cultural conflict) so to say immigration is an undesirable solution to population decline is reasonable. But they're not doing that. Obviously they think demograghic change with regards to race is bad, but they don't bother to explain why. It comes across as very chud.
I'm giving it a generous 10% chance of being just unfortunate translation.
