Children are not expensive for most poor people, I don't understand how you can claim that. Most poor people have stronger family networks, because a lot of poor people are immigrants, with stronger communities than most 'Americans'. If you have family / community help, children are not expensive at all.
My mother was an english teacher in a predominantly hispanic area. The women (it was mostly women given time of day) openly admitted to having more kids for the checks. I have no problem with that personally. They hardly paid anything extra for their kids. They had grandmas, sisters, friends, churches, etc to take care of the kids. And my mom watched them too during class. Didn't cost them very much. Education in this country is free.
The 'studies' that find having kids costs more money, assumes everyone lives like rich white people.
