“My herd is fine — I can just keep buying replacement cows!”

This suggests that something is deeply wrong with society in at least two places:

1. whatever is distressing the native population so badly they stopped breeding; and,

2. casual psychopathy towards people, which is inherent in such a policy analysis.

I mean, re:2 you just compared new Americans to cattle, so you might have a point here
“My kids keep dying, but I can just adopt more.”

Same sentiment, closer to the actual concept of a nation state.

Or maybe, “my kids can’t have grandkids, so I’ll just adopt myself some.” The reasonable question you have to ask isn’t “how do I adopt more grandkids?” It’s “Why can’t MY kids have their own kids?”

They are having their own kids. What the hell are you even talking about?
