As I'm sure you're aware, German parents get 200-300€ per child (Kinderzuschlag). And then tax reductions.

That said, if we want less immigrants maybe we could stop helping the US and Israel with their wars in the middle east or coups in Africa ?

It's exactly 250 € per child. If you are sustaining your life expenses yourself, it's just a small fraction of your tax money you get back. Fake asylum seekrs don't pay anything, hey just get support and procreate. They are a financial net negative for the society.

The system as is is encouraging the wrong kind of children, where children are assets for non-working, and a liability for working people.

First thing I would do to fix this is to remove child support handouts in cash. I would make it a tax credit instead, so only people who do productive work and pay taxes would get tax benefits.
