Su propuesta, subsidiaria de las nociones poblacionistas, está motivada en la necesidad de "poblar el territorio argentino con una raza sana y fuerte", además de concretar el ideal de Alberdi de "'pegar a la mujer a la casa' ya que es ella la que organiza la familia, forma al ciudadano y echa las bases del Estado".
