    That’s an interesting and somewhat sad point. Economically immigration is probably cheaper for society than raising domestic children properly.

    Hypothetically we can scoop the cream from the top of other countries and let them bear the expense of early childhood education, and come out better off than doing it ourselves.

      I don’t know if what I’m implying is true, just a thought I had. It feels sad that we should no longer have families because of money. It really feels counterintuitive. I never saw any reports or analysis comparing children versus immigration, probably because it’s a way too complex question.

      I feel like having children has more benefit than entirely relying on immigration.
