Pretty sure the government would just rather their current citizens die so they can bring in people from 'lesser countries ' who will be more willing to slave it up because it's still better then their previous lifestyle.
Child care and education for the first two decades of life are a big investment with uncertain returns (esp. if employing businesses are allowed to exploit parents, contributing to trouble at home that also hurts kids).
We have increasingly detached leaders who just want certain numbers to look better in an unhinged and inhumane economic system. That makes it mighty tempting to bring in adults whose upbringing and education were paid for elsewhere.
But beware fascist agitators (or their dupes) who don't really care about people and just want to stir up division by making this about "invasions" and other racist and divisive BS. In fact in most, if not all cases, our foreign policy is probably connected at least indirectly to the reasons people feel the need to come here.
