For many illegals, 7 crammed in a 3 bedroom house with water and electricity is a step up, and they’re willing to have 2 more kids. For Americans, relying on food stamps to supplement part time or irregular work, they aren’t willing to have more kids.

If more American men were employed, I suspect their girlfriends and wives would be more willing have another child.

Americans have fewer children than Mexican immigrants because the American's typical attitude is that they have to pay for and take responsibility for their own children. The attitude of the Mexican immigrants is "who cares if we can afford it or not, someone else (gringo) will pay for it."

There's also the fact that most Americans actually devote time and resources to raising, educating and disciplining their children, all alien concepts in the barrio.
