I don't mean to sound insensitive when saying this but why are so many people having families in such poor countries if they cannot afford to feed them? Why have children if you are just going to put them through that. Is it just a matter if giving into temptation or lack of will power?
Human selfishness.
Even birds know enough not to reproduce when there is a famine.
Clearly, most humans aren't as smart as birds.

Why do creatures make new little ones?
I think it's kind of a dead end to speculate on this subject. Humans generally have a right to procreate for whatever reason.
My personal thoughts on the subject get fairly radical and start with "my parents should not have bred ", so I should probably shuddap

Agreed.
I should shuddap, also, but what are the chances of that?

So Biden is allowing more immigrants come in than usual because he wants landlords to get more perks, when it comes to people obeying them?

If they are being blackmailed for deportation, than is life really an improvement for them coming here? Also landlords cannot rat out illegally immigrants who are living under them, without ratting themselves out since the landlords would be guilty of harboring illegal immigrants. So wouldn't the landlords just be ratting themselves out in the process?
Some say the Democrats are happy with greater immigration because most of the immigrants are expected to vote for the Democrats in the next election.
Paul Keating did the same here in Australia, from memory.
Why are immigrants expected to vote for a democrat in the next election though? What if a large portion of immigrants like the republican candidate better in the next election? Hasn't this crossed Biden's mind?

The Democrats were talking about giving 'citizenship'(?) to 'illegals'(?).
From memory, 11, 000,000 people.(?)
Gratitude for that wouldn't surprise, I imagine.
Also, a lot of immigrants would be on welfare, and the Democrats look after people on welfare better than the Republicans, I believe.
The same applies here in Australia.

Most immigrants, actually, are hard-working people who want to provide for their families. They have a disdain for people on welfare/public assistance.
Aren't we talking about refugee immigrants?
The stats aren't good here in Australia.
From memory, 70% of refugees are still unemployed after 5 years?
But don't quote me.

They might or might not be "refugees."
There's a whole generation of West Indian people in the United States who raised children to go to college/university, and make something of themselves. And many other ethnic groups, too.
The "immigrant ethos" has been around since the 19th century. It still exists today. It has to do with the belief in the "American Dream."
There is a strong disdain amongst these immigrants for, especially, native-born people who they feel sponge off the government.

My parents were hard-working immigrants.
So much so that the 5th gen Australians were jealous of them.
My father worked 3 jobs at one time, as an example.
I am talking about the stats concerning the refugees, here in Australia.
If you like I can try and find those stats.
I'm not making this up.
It isn't an opinion.

You'll find some refugees who are lazy bums---of course you do.....but there are many, too, who want to better themselves, and who want their kids to go to university and make something of themselves.
Just like your dad.

You do realise I am simply telling you the truth of the matter?
It is not my opinion.
You do realise it would be irrational for me to have a bias against immigrants because my parents were immigrants?
You do realise it would be irrational of me to be racist because I was psychologically abused by German-hating white racists?
You do realise I am not a racist because I was always gang-stalked by Caucasians and felt safe amongst ethnic communities, right?
I am not sure why you have joined the hate squad.
C'est la vie.
