Immigrants typically enter the labor pool at the wrong type of occupation. Encouraging pregnancy means then the husband will have more encumbrances outside the job which is undesirable. Anyway your proposal does not work. 6 children implies perhaps 3 boys on the average which in the long term only increase the labor pool slowly, if the women are at home barefoot and pregnant. >You baiting feminists again? Of course, though actually I was more interested in deriding the zpg nonsense. India may be overpopulated but not the US. The US should eliminate immigration quotas altogether. All zpg meant was slowing population growth in underpopulated, productive Western countries while they make even more babies in overpopulated less productive nations.
