For some strange reason, I find myself hoping that the number is closer to 10 than 3,000. Call me sentimental. As for Trump, you just have to understand that he's relentlessly overstating his case, as a counterbalance, to nudge the left towards the middle, where deals are made. In de-constructing his overstatements, the left is often tricked into something reasonable, because they're taking more time on the facts, in spite of themselves. They get downright smart about some issues, just to show he's dumb. That's OK. Water off a duck's back.
The left are bucking a trend towards immigration control and jobs. And rather than bemoaning demographic collapse, why aren't we celebrating the fact the the people, here, have voluntarily turned the corner on population growth. How about we worry about too few babies when we moderate our population down to maybe 100 million. Think of cutting the pressure we put on Ma Nature on the continent by 2/3? It turns out that economic success leads to lower birth rates. So rather than drag our nice little setup down by importing more and more people to put more and more burden on the American continent, why don't we seek to export our economic success to where those people came from? See them moderate THEIR birth rates, in the natural order of things.
Fact is that people higher up the economic ladder are higher on Maslow's ladder, and life is a lot of fun without kids or without too many kids. We no longer really NEED a bunch of kids to ensure a comfy retirement. There's less incentive to invest big in your kids. I think women making careers is a huge part of it. Kind of cool, though, how we've broken through and you see more nurturing fathers. Educated couples can easily see the wife making more money and the husband stay at home. We still have to break through in-bred tendencies of women to only pair at or above their status. Men just care if they like the woman, not what job she has or how popular she is. Men are bred to expect that they will at least hold up their end, economically, if not (and often not) around the house. A lot of us men just don't care if the place smells like our dirty socks, or if there's anything green to go with that hamburger.
But we don't generally mind if the woman is economically dependent on US. It's high male status to make enough $$$ that the woman doesn't have to work. I don't see anything wrong with a woman staying at home, but compared to having to leave the house and be presentable and civil every day towards strangers and compulsory acquaintances, it seems like you could keep yourself pretty busy and be able to SEE the good you're doing, at home. Might be surprised at the husbands who'd rather cook and do laundry instead of emptying garbage cans, which sucks, but pays pretty good.
