Question

Some restrictionist, or people who are against immigration, argue that poor people shouldn’t have babies if they can’t feed them. Why do people from poorer countries like Mexico tend to have more children and go against? And is it really a threat to overpopulation?

Answer 1

Answer:

When faced with a lack of material possession, it is natural for humans to cling to sentiment, hence the value placed on immaterial concepts such as family, honor, and hard work in Mexican culture. Why should being poor exclude someone from the right to procreate? It is a basic human right. They are not having children out of spite. There is a blatant cultural difference that many choose to ignore. Being poor does not mean you are not allowed to live the best life that you can. As for the threat of overpopulation within the United States, many of the latest generation have pledged not to have children. Eventually, we will need a population boost, if for no other reason than to fill the age gap in the work force.
