Sort of... we're accustomed to a certain standard of living that is difficult to support with children. Non-western immigrants do not have this problem, because the western standard of living so much better. They'll still have children, because their relative view of poverty is much different.
The biggest problem is the move from an agrarian culture to an urban/technological one. Children used to be an asset, and would increase productivity after the initial investment. Government policy has done a lot to make them a liability (other than the single mother scenario). Technology has also completely changed the labor dynamics of agriculture. We're victims of our own success in a lot of ways.
If just poverty matters about this, the question, why could the number of births be controlled in Obama era. And another point, to use immigrant filling the void gap of demography, the Trump admin. had tough approach towards immigrant.
Not saying that the big gay monster isn't abusing children in a much more friendly social environment than 10 years ago. If immigration decreased under Trump, it would stand to reason that there were fewer anchor babies being born. Not sure the stats on that, though.
