Eugenics: how to proceed, and how not to

The Financial Times reports:

A Downing Street adviser has been forced to quit after attracting criticism for his comments on eugenics and whether black people on average have lower IQs. ...

The resignation came after Boris Johnson’s spokesperson repeatedly refused to say on Monday whether he agreed with the position of Andrew Sabisky, a “contractor” hired to work for Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s closest adviser.

... Mr Sabisky’s exact role in government was unclear. Reports suggested he was hired as part of Mr Cummings’ drive to bring “weirdos and misfits” into government, while Downing Street insiders said he was a “contractor” working on forecasting. His role covered the government’s strategic defense review, as well as other policy areas.

... In a 2016 interview Mr Sabisky defended his views on eugenics. “Eugenics are about selecting ‘for’ good things. Intelligence is largely inherited and correlates with better outcomes: physical health, income, lower mental illness,” he told Schools Week.

Whether Sabitsky's ideas on eugenics make sense is not clear to me, but eugenics is a dirty word. Sabitsky, having carelessly blabbed about the subject was bound to be in trouble on being appointed as a government advisor. 

But clearly the Western nations have insane dysgenic reproductive policies that urgently need correction. 

First, they give dumb girls who get knocked up during their teenage years free board and lodging. then they urge intelligent girls to go for a higher education and a career. Hence an inverse relationship between intelligence, however the Hell you measure it, and fertility. That's a sure recipe for civilizational collapse, followed by takeover by immigrants of alien race, religion and culture.
The solution — as I’ve laid it out here before, maybe many times — is (a) zero welfare for indigent mothers who fail to identify their partners, among whom can be determined the paternity of children by compulsory DNA testing; (b) debtors gaol for fathers who fail to provide support for their illegitimate progeny; and (c) a massive tax-refund-based maternity benefit, paid in cash to mothers for life, the benefit being based on the income of both parents. This would give intelligent mothers more reason to chose motherhood over career, since it would assure women with children an income from their partner even if the SOB walks out on her.
The other thing you have to do is slam to the door on mass immigration of both smart people and dumb. Immigration suppresses native fertility by lowering wages and raising the cost of everything, including government (because of the extra infrastructure needed) and housing. 
Present immigration to the Western nations amounts to a program of European genocide.
