Opinion | The U.S. needs more immigrants and more babies - The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/07/us-needs-more-immigrants-more-babies/?utm_campaign=wp_todays_headlines&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_headlines&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F35fb30f%2F62024d4a9d2fda51803bb9cc%2F596d1b02 ade4e24119dc920c%2F43%2F73%2F62024d4a9d2fda51803bb 9cc)

For years they have supported abortion on demand that snuffs 600,000 American babies annually . They support Malthusian population control to save the planet. They have deprived our children a proper education going on 3 years due to covid. Before that the public schools were indoctrination factories. They have supported anti-family social policies for almost 60 years . They demean motherhood ;now adopting the term "birthing people " .

But now they have discovered that there is not enough young blood to future fund their gimmee programs .

A lower national birthrate means that natural replacement is not keeping pace.

Their answer ? More government gimmee programs .

A more welcoming immigration policy — one that secures the border, while expanding legal immigration — isan obvious start.The federal government should also encourage more childbirth by making it easier to raise children in the United States. A permanent expansion of the child tax credit, universal prekindergarten education and other new child-care benefits would make having children a less daunting financial commitment. Such initiatives would also help the nation do more with the population it has, making it easier for parents to enter the workforce. Similarly, permanently bolstering Obamacare would make it easier for people to go out on their own, starting businesses without the burden of losing employer-sponsored health-care coverage. This would enable people to find the places in the economy in which they can be the most productive.

An obvious start to me would be to stop infanticide in the US.

It's as though the feds have plenty of money and need to find new places to spend it rather than being 10's of trillions of dollars in debt. Incredible. But no lib would ever have the courage to suggest that people should get married, have children, stay married, and support each other in order to give their children the best chances of success in life.
