The reason people in third world countries have lots of children is because of high child mortality rates. If the factors contributing to the high child mortality rates can be dealt with then there will be less of an imperative for them to have large families and birth rates will drop as they have here. It is the same historically all over the world: as child mortality rates drop people have fewer children. The point of aid is to stabilise their population so less of them come over here...

you stop giving them money or food you build farms and ranches and water plants and make them work on them they will have food and water for ever this way. money goes to power mad nuts and food only goes so far and the money to pack it ship it is wasted it. But to make a farm and ranch you have food a water plant cleans the water makes them health. If we can build a soccer thing for the bad guys we surely can do this for the poor in the word.
