When all these kids are looking for food, homes, jobs, etc, they flood the market.

Sure, they may be law abiding, hard working citizens, but think of how much food they need (even if thew grow most of it, it isn't completely sustainable, and some may not want to grow their own later on), water they drink, jobs they'll need, clothes they wear (again, even if they make a lot and buy used, it's not fool proof and they'll need to buy new).

And add to that healthcare costs, Medicare when they are retired, SS if it's even around then...it adds up.

Hit the nail right on the head.
