The US doesn't want indiscriminate population growth. It wants white people that were born here to reproduce more.

"The US" as a whole definitely does not want that, just the deeply unpopular white nationalists who have their hands on the levers of power at the moment.

As an aside, it's hilarious that they try to brand themselves as "Heritage Americans" since "Native American" is already taken.

Does it? It sure costs a whole helluava lot. I mean, there's tax credits and things, but it's not at all cheap!

I think capitalists just want cheap labor. The US itself doesn’t have a unified position on population. Plenty of people want a population decrease because they feel everything is overcrowded.

Well, when I say "US" I mean the current administration and the people that have power within it. Maybe that's not their actual intention or desire, but that is the story their policies and actions are telling.

It's interesting how the sides flipped. Left was strongly anti-immigration because it saw it as a tool of capitalism to drive down wages and just general abuse of working-class rights. Now Left is pro-immigration, and the right is against for the same reason the Left was. When did this change happen?
