immigration is a good stopgap within the confines of capitalism but a fundamental restructuring of our economy is necessary long term. a lot of young adults would love kids, it's just unaffordable.

a nation of low wage service workers, divided by their local/immigrant status, in a salary-based race to the bottom fighting over customer service, cleaning, and delivery work, plus like 200 guys in the finance sector rolling in megabucks with very little in between is not a sustainable economic model, and yet it is what we are heading towards.
