Start cracking down on all those numbers, and then work on convincing (but not forcing) people they don't need a dozen children, that abortion/birth control isn't pure evil, and such.

I really don't want/like the federal government getting involved in too many things, but I am curious as to how much it would cost if we bypassed insurance/hospitals/big pharma and mass produced generic birth control pills for anyone who wanted them, if only so we would know the number as a talking point.

There would be some resistance to that from Catholics and Big Pharma, not to mention a certain party that hates Big Government. 

Your reflection on population growth is interesting.  

One concern I have about closing immigration is that many immigrants know how to work hard, often for less pay. That is important in a country where fewer and fewer young have the immigrants' drive and discipine. There will always be people who welcome immigrants because of that.
