Politically, this seems to divide the world up into the two camps who are reproducing beyond replacement rate: Christians and Muslims.
And if we had the will to end illegal immigration, liberals will have died off as a majority within 20 years.
I disagree, I think that prosperity has a much greater propensity to turn people into liberals/humanists than poverty. I think that most illegal immigrants would be natural conservatives. They took risk to get here. They want to work. They send money home to families. They have many children. The the things driving them towards liberalism are #1 fear (imposing poverty and exploitation on them) and #2 our socialist welfare state. Both of these things are our fault not theirs! We should secure the borders to prevent attacks and other criminal activities. Otherwise, valuing people, we should generally have open immigration. People are the essential element in every ecomony. People create wealth.
As for children, mine are despicable sinners and they know it. The more we have, the more we dislike them. We're up to nine now and it hurts :-). However, "you can't take it (your wealth) with you" notwithstanding, I take great consolation in knowing and trusting in God that they will be along after me sooner rather than later, with many many generations to follow.
A Conservative does not rely on his money or his fellow man (same thing) but in God he trusts. With God all things are possible.
Matthew 19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
