Yeah, but that's now what we're having. My country sits at 1.4, and the only subpopulations with above replacement rate TFR are non-indigenous, so to speak.
South Korea has a TFR of below 1.
Japan has a TFR of ~1.4.
Most European countries are somewhere between 1.4 and ~1.7.

The US is below 2.
The West is dying out, and has been for a while.
