The 1967 Plan to Limit Population

Kingsley Davis was a great XX century USA demographer who coined the terms "population explosion" and "zero population growth". In 1967 he proposed policies to limit population growth:
Squeeze consumers through taxation and inflation, make housing very scarce by limiting construction, force wives and mothers to work outside the home to offset the inadequacy of male wages, yet provide few childcare facilities; encourage migration to the city by paying low wages in the country and providing few rural jobs; increase congestion in cities by starving the transit system; increase personal insecurity by encouraging conditions that produce unemployment and haphazard political arrest.
He nailed it. White fertility declined rapidly, and a 1965 immigration law resulted in the USA being flooded with Third World migrants to replace the Whites.
