Surge in Birth Rates Among Hispanics Creating New U.S. Underclass

...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."

Disagreements over immigration policy melt away when it comes to killing as many kids as possible.
Doing for Hispanics what it already has done for Blacks.
The lowest abortion rate of all the racial and ethnic groups examined was among white women (13 per 1,000), while the highest rate was among black women (49 per 1,000). Hispanic and Asian women had abortion rates slightly higher than average (33 and 31 per 1,000, respectively).*
