If that were true than places like Palm Springs would be economic backwaters and East LA would be a powerhouse. There are many factors to creating economic growth, and uneducated people having 5 plus kids doesn't seem to be helping.

A big problem in Calif is that the flood of legal and illegal Hispanics have overtaxed the taxpayer supported health and welfare systems.

After all, social safety nets don’t work well when more folks are using them than not.

And the Hispanics tend to have big families. My cynical observation is that most of the child-bearing age Hispanic women I see around the city are either pregnant, carrying/leading multiple kids, or pregnant and carrying/leading multiple kids.

That said, though the Hispanics vote Democrat as they vote for whoever offers them the most freebies (and Dem’s excell at vote buying), they tend to have traditional family values by and large and are pleasant folk to live around.
