Or how about just close the fucking borders. We are a small population country of 37 million. We can't compete with 1.4 billion Indians and 1.4 billion chinese and another billion middle eastern etc etc who we are rolling out the red carpet and begging them to come here because our politicians are evil
Stop blaming the people for not having kids. People didn't just "decide" to stop having kids because "hey we're lazy and entitled millenials" or whatever you think. The birth rate drops directly because of government policies.
Birth rates are lower because of the burden that immigrants place on the native population. Immigration leads to lower birth rates which leads to elites calling for even more immigration. Close the border and send people back home and the birth rate will naturally rise. Housing prices would drop, wages would rise, and the cultural thing is a big part of it too. When you're living in a neighborhood where your neighbors speak Arabic and your other neighbors speak Chinese it's not as much of a family friendly environment. People dont participate in their local communities etc and the idea of having kids is less likely for them.

immigration killed the middle class both financially and culturally, people don't even know their neighbor's names anymore.
