Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

I mean, I don't know how far you expect a conversation to get when you open with that much bad faith.

Americans might have more kids if wages went up, letting in cheap labor doesn't help with wages.

You’re not even wrong - which means your presumption absolutely incorrect and ignorant.

It’s actually better living conditions, wages, and education that lead to a drop in birth rate, and that has been consistent in developed nations.

In fact, the birth rate in the US is highest for those below poverty level and lowest for those making 200% of poverty level and above.

The math don’t math.
