Why ???

My guess is the ruling class wants never ending market and GDP growth. Also, the USA has not been at replacement birth rate since the very early 2000s. And even then it had been stagnated at barley above or below replacement rate since the mid 1970s. If you don't believe the AI hype then in order to continue year over year GDP growth you need more workers and consumers (children) than the current 2 generations of child bearing age Americans are willing to provide. If there are illegal immigrants here who have become assimilated and are gainfully employed then it would be easier to get them on the books and give them citizenship rather than deport them and either hope young, native Americans starting having more babies (they won't) or start over and properly vet several hundred thousand or million new legal immigrants.

When I was in 9'th grade the school that I attended pushed for collage and people like me were thought of as loser's by not wishing to go to college I decided to attend the local tech school and it was the one reason I did graduate plus I learned some life skills that I have been using for 53 years. Before I was out of school, I lined up a job as a Honda motorcycle mechanic for the day after I graduated and, in the fall, I took a job as a heavy equipment mechanic

If true exactly as described, Russia is in serious trouble and will be seeking revenge.

President Trump has agreed to a trade deal with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where the US will lower tariffs on goods from India to 18% from 25%.

India will reduce trade barriers to zero and will also stop buying Russian oil. An additional 25% tariff penalty imposed for Delhi's refusal to stop buying oil from Russia will be dropped.

"He agreed to stop buying Russian oil, and to buy much more oil from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela," Trump wrote.

Additionally, Trump said Modi committed to buying over $500 billion worth of American goods including energy, technology, agriculture and coal products.
