The U.S. population's total fertility rate is now approximately 1.7 births per female, which is below the replacement rate of 2.1 that is required for the U.S. population not to shrink without increases in immigration https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2022/7/8/measuring-fertility-in-the-united-states#:~:text=Summary%3A%20The%20U.S.%20population's%20total,shrink%20without%20increases%20in%20immigration.

So, in typical perverse ideological reasoning, the Resident decides that we must encourage women having less babies.

In a darker interpretation: why is the government trying to suppress having a healthy replacement rate?

Almost as if he wants to have more immigration to make up the shortfall.
