The left want illegals because they have now realized their mistake in defending/allowing abortion for birth control.
I concur with your sentiments. But there are practical reasons why people in the West stopped reproducing themselves. The first is simply cost, it costs a lot to raise children in the West. It is far cheaper to raise children—lots of them—in the developing world, and children can even return an economic benefit when they move to the west and send money home. I wish the problem was simply that no one had ever told anyone to make babies before.
Although I’m all for procreation, I have to say that I think there are more effective ways to take action against illegal immigration.
All a bunch more babies is going to do in the short term is drive up the demand for illegal nannies.

Fight illegal immigration with procreation

If politicians won't find a way to deport illegals, then it is time for Americans who care to take matters into their own hands. By having lots of babies.
Now, before you write this off as the delusion of a crackpot, stop and listen; this is not about promoting racism. What this is, is a kind of "Gorism"; a call to "think globally and act locally" on the matter of population trends.
Conservative estimates of the birthrate among the 12 million illegals in the U.S. sits at somewhere around 3.5 per couple, whereas America's rate is about 2.1 children per couple. Now, I know this figure is very difficult to substantiate because we are dealing with undocumented people; however, if that figure is correct – and it very likely is – America will be a very different place in the span of 20 short years."
Even if the present number of illegals remained static – if their extended family members were not given access to America through an amnesty bill and the steady stream of illegals crossing the border were stopped – 12 million illegals would radically invert the cultural hegemony of America.
The problem isn't just that they're coming over illegally; it is that these resident "aliens" are out-pacing Americans 3 to 1 in the reproduction department. That means the popular wisdom that says we'll have 50 million when this is all said-and-done is wrong. It will be more like 150 million.
Unless America is prepared to deport them all, the only way to compete is to have as many or more babies as them.
It sounds far-fetched I know, and frankly a little "rich," coming from a Canadian. After all, Canada has absolutely no credibility in this department, with a paltry 1.5 children per couple. The lack of anything even close to a "replacement rate" for the population has already sealed our fate. But honestly, unless America survives, Western democracy as a whole will be a matter of history.
Mark Steyn wrote about it in his book "America Alone" – and that one phrase literally is the most accurate way of expressing the crisis of our time.
The salient feature all around the West today is that Europe, Russia, Japan and Canada are literally running out of babies – meaning in the near future America is literally going to be ALONE.
Let me just add some statistical numbers to drive the point home. In Greece, the fertility rate is hovering just below 1.3 births per couple, Italy has a fertility rate of 1.2, Spain, 1.1; and in the Asian countries like Korea, China and Japan it is 1.2. And Russia? Well, let's just say Stalin would be proud.
And just to add a little angst to the scenario, Steyn says that if all things remain as they are now, by the year 2050, "60 percent of Italians will have no brothers, no sisters, no cousins, no aunts and no uncles."
Unless an act of God saves the birthplace of Roman Catholicism, those "pizones" who invented the cappuccino and sang opera like nobody's business won't be around to win another World Cup, which should make the Germans ecstatic – Oh, wait, they won't be around either – sorry – the Brazilians then.
America will have to shoulder the responsibility of being the only Western democracy left; at least the only one big enough to give the remaining "whites" a geographical location to call "home," and – here is the important part – a place relatively free from hostile cultures.
This raises another important point.
What does it mean to America when one of the fastest-growing populations on the planet is a group that, as Steyn puts it, isn't convinced that American civil liberties are a gift from God? And what do you think it'll mean for that traditional American demographic when the Latin American population explosion meets the Muslim population explosion on American soil, and traditional Americans are in the minority?
If you think racial tensions were bad in America's past, just wait until the dust settles on this score.
That is why, if you really care about this issue, you can't afford to wait for the politicians. You need to take matters into your own hands. You need babies. Lots and lots of babies – within the legitimate bonds of marriage, of course. (And while we are on the subject, isn't it about time that Ann Coulter got married and gave America a lot of little Anns?)
Think of it as patriotism in the flesh. It makes sense for Americans to have more babies to secure and perpetuate a free and stable America for the next generation. And there is this added benefit also – it is an act of global philanthropy, because we are depending on America to keep the West alive.

I write this BS as what it is... a crack pot idea.
Anyone “having lots of babies”, just for increasing the number of his ethnicity/religion/group is IMO an heartless idiot.
Babies are something sacred. Couples not willing to raise their kids in love shouldn’t procreate.
Children are not a numerical mass for socialist ideas of population and de-population.
They are individual human beings, and should be treated with utmost respect from the very beginning.

Abortion as a form of “birth control” (leads to) => Reduction in number of babies (in time leads to) => Reduction in number of young people entering the work force (leads to) => A smaller pool of people with entry-level skills (leads to) => Business attempting to fill entry-level jobs with anyone they can find (leads to) business pressuring government to look the other way when Mexicans and OTMs come here seeking these jobs (leads to) => These people getting all their friends and relatives to come and get in on a good thing while they can (leads to) => Chain migration (leads to) => A growing and in some areas a critical mass of Mexicans and OTMs who are emboldened to make demands on principle-free politicians who are looking for a new victim class to pander to (leads to) => Sanctuary cities (leads to) => Unwillingness to support enforcement of the border (leads to) => A bigger flood of Mexicans and OTMs (leads to) => Giving big business the idea that it suppress wages of blue-collar workers when the wink-and-nod employer enforcement almost gives a green light in some industries to openly use illegals with fraudulent documentation (leads to) => Business trade groups lobbying for a “comprehensive bill” that is really amnesty (leads to) => Deceptive and pandering proposals in Washington (leads to) => Destruction of our national identity and chaos.
(leads to) The US becoming just like Mexico
Note to Bush, the GOP and the Dems: If I wanted to live in Mexico, I would have moved there. I look to the officials who took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution to not seek to allow Mexico to merge with the US without us being able to openly consider all the implications and for all of us to put this to a vote. Otherwise, this sure looks like slow-motion treason to me.
I would be willing to do my part by offering to provide stud service to Ann Coulter for her three+ children.
Great idea-only problem-I am a middle income American. Unlike upper income Americans I can not afford any more children. And unlike the lower income Americans I can’t get the government to support them and provide them with a college education.
Ummmmmm.
Never mind.
And the government should give subsidies to 2 parent (male and female) families of citizens, except those from middle eastern jihad-sponsoring countries.
.
Umm! I have five. Can that be my quota?
i better hurry up then, before my clock stops ticking! LOL ummm....small problem....how are we supposed to support the extras we didn’t think about supporting before? someone wanna help??? ::grin:: didn’t think so!
