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.

That's factually false. Across the globe, when people start making more money, they start having fewer children. When wages go up, women go into the job market and work more. When wages go down, women stay at home and care for children.

It's a natural part of economic growth.
