The average benefit for an additional child is $130(last time I looked) in SNAP supplements. I am not sure if infants get more than that, but no one is going to have a kid simply to get $130 per month. The majority of families receiving SNAP have at least one worker https://www.census.gov/library/stori...n-working.html
My solution is to close the border. It can be done. It WAS done under Trump.
Trump did nothing, except torture people and separate families. There are still nearly 2,000 children who have not been reunited with their parents. Biden is effectively doing what Trump did, other than not forcing asylum seekers to live in squalid camps in Mexico. Stop spouting that BS that Trump was better. He wasn't.
It may be unusual, but it happens more than you think, and proves your statement is incorrect.
Not really. 95% of unintended pregnancies are the result of failure to use birth control (54%) or the incorrect/inconsistent use of birth control (41%).
95% of the time, unintended pregnancies are due to deliberate human error.

Ahh, so you are in favor of children growing up with nutritional deficiencies and the related issues those create. How nice. Do you really think that children should suffer from malnutrition in the US when their families don't make enough money to properly feed everyone?
Have you ever been poor? Ever worried about where your next meal was coming from?

They get two meals at school and the 'parents' get an access card. Plus, there are food banks. Plenty of food around.
The poor parents should make better choices if they want their spawn to be like the other kids.

So they can live a perfect life like yours? Can you not conceive that there are lots of people who aren't as smart as you? As educated as you? Have the same choices as you? Do you not recognize that many people are poor because they are not that smart, and are far more likely to make bad choices? The US is not Lake Woebegone, where everyone is above average.

Feed, house and clothe them entirely out of your own pocket. Problem solved.
We don't live in a perfect world and we don't have unlimited resources.
When the Rich were complaining about Roosevelt's Social programs during the Depression, which could cost the rich some money in extra taxes, Roosevelt told the rich: You either pay more or, through a revolution, you'll lose all of it!
And back then there was even a Communist party which probably really scared the rich!
Why in the world would the group of people who pay the highest tax rate and receives the fewest government benefits from the taxes that they pay want their taxes raised? Maybe we should be asking why our government receives nearly 4 trillion dollars in tax revenue ever year from it's citizens yet we still have to pay to get our driver's license renewed.

That's why the smart people who make good choices and are willing to take advantage of the opportunity America gives them generally have nicer lives.
Bad choices have consequences, yes?
My life isn't perfect, btw.
