Emilio Parrada's 2010 study showed that high fertility of the Bush Housing Bubble years was driven by extremely high fertility among recently arrived Latino immigrants: https://www.unz.com/isteve/the-last-amnesty-in-graphical-form/ … An amnesty would cause another Latino Baby Boom, as happened after 1986. https://twitter.com/WilcoxNMP/status/997222019249909760 …

Does that still happen when you adjust for delayed marriage? Americans delay marriage a lot more than most LatAm countries (one might say we have a uniquely hellish dating market). Delayed marriage of 2nd gen Latinos thrown into that hellscape -> crashing Latino fertility

Not to mention that the spending absurds of $$$ on kids thing is an upscale white liberal thing, people who don't reproduce for cultural reasons. Now with regards to more normal costs...

Measures that would encourage native childbirth, like covering birthing hospital bills for everyone (like Medicaid does for the poor), are probably more popular with immigrants than natives lol.

With transfer payments (Medicaid, SNAP, EITC, etc), my parents broke even with me. My belief is that we should just extend those same privileges to middle-class whites too, and I think most immigrants would support this too (due to many aspiring to middle-class status).

Coincidentally, I wouldn't raise kids differently from how my parents did - and I make much more than they did! They were much more fertile however, because they were married at my age. While here in the US, the set of marrigable millennials is vanishingly slim, possibly null set
