This is a really huge topic that's tough to distill down meaningfully in a forum like this one. I&i can jot down here a couple of considerations here, but it's really an enormous topic that people do PhD theses on.
(1) All well developed (advanced) economies tend to experience declines in birth rates as personal wealth increases and people choose to voluntarily limit the number of children they have. This is true in other well developed economies, not just the U.S.
(2) Destruction of marriage and the traditional family has taken a huge toll on reproduction in the U.S. Children are very commonly viewed as being financial & legal liabilities/burdens, instead of being blessings from JAH. Of course, the system of family law in the U.S.(and the rest of the Western nations) is utterly insane (e.g., the Babylon System makes it so onerous for American males to sire children that substantial numbers of them avoid it altogether). Anecdotally, I&i could tell you stories about scores of expatriated American men i've come across who would sooner die than ever marry and procreate with an American woman. It's a very common sentiment.(And a very big success story for satanism and the Evil One.)
(3) Culturally, people of Hispanic heritage tend to view human life as being very precious and sacred, and, in part due to Catholicism, child-bearing is encouraged and celebrated. This has had a substantial impact on the demographics of the U.S.
(4)This will bother some people, but i'll say in anyway because i'm not rendering any judgment about anyone, just making the observation/generalization: Poor people tend to worry less about how they'll pay for some future obligations (like more children) than do wealthier people. The poor already live hand-to-mouth and have usually gained a faith that somehow they'll be able to make ends meet. Wealthier people tend to plan ahead and think of things like "We're not in the financial position to have a child right now." Of course, the demographic reality is that there's a big cohort of wealthy white people in the U.S. while people of color make up a substantial percentage of the poorest people in the U.S.
These are just a few factors that come to mind. There's much more, so if one is really interested, there are books on the subject.
