...the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population over the next couple of decades does not bode well for American social stability. The dimensions of the Hispanic baby boom are startling. By 2050 the Latin population will have tripled, the Census Bureau projects. It's the fertility surge among unwed Hispanics that should worry policymakers. Hispanic women have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country - over three times that of whites and Asians, and nearly one and a half times that of black women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Social workers in Southern California... are in despair over the epidemic of single parenting. Not only has illegitimacy become perfectly acceptable, they say, but so has the welfare and social services to cope with it. Dr. Ana Sanchez delivers babies at St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange, California, many of them to Hispanic teenagers. To her dismay, they view having a child at that age as normal. Alot of grandmothers are single as well; they never married, or they had successive relationships. "We're seeing 13-and 14-year old fathers," says Kathleen Collins, vice president of health education. ...the prevalence of single parenting among Hispanics is producing the inevitable slide into the welfare system. Hispanics now dominate the federal Women, Infants, and Children free food program; Hispanic enrollment grew more that 25% from 1996 to 2002, while black enrollment dropped 12% and white enrollment dropped 6.5%. A case manager at a program for pregnant homeless women in Orange observes, "I'll have women in my office on their fifth child, when the others have already been placed in foster care. There's nothing shameful about having multiple children that you can't care for and to be pregnant again, because, then you can blame the system."

“Hispanic women have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country...”
Wonder how many are shelling out babies with illegal immigrant men, who are sending their money home to their wives and kids?
The good old US tax-sheeple are taking care of the illegitimate kids here through food stamps and welfare payments to the shack-ups. When are those intrepid investigative reporters to delve into this social phenomenon?
More democratic voters; this is a guarantee that California will become even more solidly democrat and Arizona, Florida, New Mexico and even Texas will move in that direction.
And on the flip side, proportionally more pregnant singles of European, Asian, and African descent probably abort their unborn children more often.
What is especially noteworthy is that illegitimacy rates among this population skyrocket AFTER they come into the US.
Among the population remaining in the home country, illegitimacy is much lower.
The toxic liberal culture in this country and entitlements have combined to destroy the hispanic family within a generation or two of arriving.

I believe Hispanics do abort at a higher rate than whites.
Generally, the more dysfunctional and feckless a group, the more likely they are to have unplanned pregnancies and to abort, no matter what they say they believe. It’s the number of pregnancies that matters.

For how many years have we been trying to get a handle on the black unwed pregnancy only to import more? Yeah, that makes alot of sense. Go to a middle school where there is alot of hispanics and there is an excellent chance you will find pregnant girls, middle school! You are between 12 and 14 in middle school. My son is a sophmore in HS and there is a girl in his grade with 2 kids. A friend teaches English through her church, 5 of the 6 girls, high schoolers, had kids and the 6th was pregnant. They invited her to a baby shower. Yep, nothing like importing another 20 million welfare recipients and having a generation of children with little chance for a future. Hey, but our lettuce will be cheap, so I guess it all comes out in the wash.
There are days when I'm glad the chances I'll be around for this are slim.

But as America inexorably moves toward Third World status, the special interest business lobbies (U.S. Chamber of Commerce to cite only one)who love low wages with no basic benefits, and the politicians who out-pander each other for the illegal vote, we'll soon have reached the point of no return. Perhaps we're already there.Excellent prediction. BUMP!
I think that we probably are.
Now those Irish grandkids are worried that the hordes of unwashed Mexican illegals, rutting like beasts and marinating in liquor are destroying America.
Pathetic.
Unbelievable. An en terprising, optimistic young illegal is more American than you.
Please explain yourself.
A lot of the cultural thinking is that there is no shame and that the services are free so there is nothing to lose. Free is the key word. Nothing to worry about because they will get free money and free care. I’ve seen it now for all my life. Free money and free services are very important in this culture. Gratis.
And on the flip side, proportionally more pregnant singles of European, Asian, and African descent probably abort their unborn children more often.

“More democratic voters; this is a guarantee that California will become even more solidly democrat and Arizona, Florida, New Mexico and even Texas will move in that direction.”
And Colorado and Illinois and North Carolina....
It’s not limited to the West.
The Country Club Republicans are moving themselves to Whig status with their greed for cheap labor.
You think the liberal zero population growth, Paul Erlichman type groups would be aware of this. If these Hispanics stayed in Mexico, their population would grow at a slower rate, yet it explodes when they get to America. This is similar to a wild animal population that flourishes when food is plentiful.
