"it's worth noting that immigrant fertility worldwide, but particularly in the United States and France, might be biased upwards by provisions in nationality laws which grant citizenship to children born in a country, as a manifestation of the jus soli principle. This principle is still intact in American nationality law, less so in French nationality law since 1992 reforms. If one wants to remain in a country with a jus soli citizenship law, why not become a parent and count on not being separated from your citizen child? This incentive won't exist in later generations."
Excellent point!
