>The politics around allowing immigration are complex and controversial though.

And forcing every woman to have two children isn't?



Per my other reply on this thread:

I would imagine such aggressive measures (i.e. forcing of anything) would occur first in a certain other countries before it happens in the West - if it ever does. I would also not be surprised if the West would implicitly choose to implode first before sacrificing an iota of "freedom and individuality".

Outside the West, I also would not be surprised if some countries/cultures would implicitly choose to implode before sacrificing their homogeneity.


America is never going to "force" people to have children, but it may ramp up transfer payments to those who do. The Child Tax Credit was a big part of the Biden agenda, for example. So is, AFAICT, subsidized daycare and such.

(If more aggressive payments by other countries are any indication, this will have approximately zero effect on people's decisions.)
