>In fact, one report I read speculated immigrant fertility rates are higher partially due to the optimism of their situation.>

A large family was a norm in agricultural societies. When migrants move from villages to cities or to other countries, they retain the strong family structure and size for about two generations. Then the urban mindset (alternative careers, non-family peer groups, etc.) chip away at the family structure and size.
