This topic seems like a full on ban trap but hey lol

Downright stopping immigration has a detrimental effect on any country. The more isolated a country is, the more it staggers development and new ideas. Ideally there would always be a good flow of migrants (in and out) of any country. What a sad existence it would be to be born, live and die exactly in the same place.

Having said this, I'm all for stopping incentives to have more kids. Unfortunately the countries where overpopulation is a real issue, show no signs of stopping it. Tends to be poorer countries where kids are seen as a security for people to be "taken care of" in their older years, so the more the better from that selfish perspective. That and the religious angle, but fortunately that one seems to be declining.
