Some developed countries have terrible demographics and need fresh kids.

I am expecting that sometime soon New Zealand will start accepting unskilled immigrants if they have >2 healthy kids under 10 years old. It wouldn't surprise me if the dept of internal affairs already has a soft rule to encourage that.

At some point many countries with shitty demographics are going to have to start competing to import kids.

In the 19th century China enjoyed such an abundance of labour that they felt little need for an industrial revolution. By shovelling labour into developed countries you are depriving them of the impetus to innovate. It will have terrible long term effects.
