You serious? Any studies you could point to for clarification? Townsville (for example) has been a big drop off point for many refugees. I don't see them breeding any less.. The only thing that drops is infant mortality. Traditionally, they bare many young to offset expected losses, but those losses plummet the moment they set foot here. Net result? More people. Resources wise, they chew more than they ever did "back home" (Thanks to schooling, electricity, western comforts, etc). To their credit, they use public transport more than most - a genuine personal impost here, unlike more developed cities.
