Facts are stubborn things. It certainly refutes anecdotal stories and emotion. The idea that importing high school dropouts is good for America is nonsense.

And once they get here, they manufacture their own supply. Unless the life chances of children raised by single mothers suddenly improve, 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. The Hispanic birthrate is twice as high as that of the rest of the American population. That high fertility rate – even more than unbounded levels of immigration – will fuel the rapid Hispanic population boom in the coming decades. 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 1 ½ times that of black women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every 1,000 unmarried Hispanic women bore 92 children in 2003 (the latest year for which data exist), compared with 28 children for unmarried white women, 22 for unmarried Asian women, and 66 for unmarried black women.

BRAVO BRAVO!!

My dad supplies natural gas to the Azteca Milling plant in Plainview, Texas and to their one in Edinbergh, Tx. as well. Azteca is owned by Gruma SAB de CV in Mexico.

I was talking with one of the guys my dad does business with about 5 years ago on a business trip I took with him to the Edinbergh plant.

There is no middle class in Mexico...you have the wealthy...and you have the poor.

The rich there look down on the poor...don’t want to deal with them...don’t want them messing up the view on the drive to work.

So instead of dealing with the problem...the government ships their poor to this country nd to them they’ve “dealt with the problem.”

It’s why you’ll never be able to get Mexico...unless there is a huge shift in thinking in that country...to work with us on illegal immigration controls. We (the U.S.) are the answer to their poverty problem.

But don’t think for a minute that Mexico doesn’t believe in border enforcement. 50% of the Mexican Army is stationed in the south of the country and their sothern border fence makes the Korean DMZ fence look like barbed wire strung between two sticks.

Good find, I especially noticed this:

'Married to the state'

Despite the strong family support, the prevalence of single parenting among Hispanics is producing the inevitable slide into the welfare system. "The girls aren't marrying the guys, so they are married to the state," Dr. Sanchez observes. Hispanics now dominate the federal Women, Infants and Children free food program; Hispanic enrollment grew more than 25 percent from 1996 to 2002, while black enrollment dropped 12 percent and white enrollment dropped 6.5 percent.
