Yeah - neither link addresses anything even accidentally approaching "Secular attempts at encouraging procreation haven't worked, so now they're importing people, largely theists, to fill the gap", nor referring to "Tax benefits and other benefits".
Want to try again?
They don't refer to benefits? Are you just trolling?
First link, first paragraph: "France has unveiled measures to spur women to have more children. They include an increased monthly grant for mothers who take time off work for a third baby."
That increased monthly grant is a benefit.
Also from the first link: "Other changes include a doubling of the tax credit for families that hire home-help for children under six, and the extension of discounts available for families with three or more children."
Doubling of a tax credit is a tax benefit.
From the third: "Policy options include family-oriented policies such as financial transfers and tax breaks for parents with children, child-related leave and provision of childcare. They can also extend to a variety of measures that help with gender equality, reconciliation of work and family life or finding affordable housing. While experts
generally feel that family-oriented measures can encourage women to have more children, these policies are costly and their effect on fertility may in some cases be unclear or weak."
Financial transfers are benefits. Tax breaks are tax benefits.

Oh please, you're just jealous because I have a life, while you're a bitter old man with nothing better to do than take articles other people have written and re-post them around the internet.

Yeah, like the notion that people are born gay or trans.
