If Mexicans are poor why do they have so more kids than they can feed?
Answer:
Yes, most Mexicans are religious and birth control is not sanctioned by the church. There is also the fact that women are a lower class in most Latin societies and without education women are not empowered against the men. It is often seen as a sign of virility for the men to have a large number of children. The women need to educated and empowered.
Edit: Volunteer with women's health groups that work in the US and Mexico.
Sometimes it makes you scratch your head why anyone, regardless of nationality, would have kids they can barely provide for.
Because like you said, many are Roman Catholic who do not emphasize birth control. Some don't have money for birth control, and some are just uneducated.
I agree...
I can't for the life of me figure it out...
To quote a song (can't remember the name of it)
"Only stupid people are breeding.:
And it's true. Those with higher educations are having fewer children.
They have so many because they can come to the United States and the American tax payer can pay for them.
A couple reasons.
Most are catholic
Poor people of all races tend to have more kids
Ignorance
Readily available welfare $
the fact is that African American got more kids that any other ethnic .
The bad thing is that a hugh number of them are in welfare
meaning for you that you sustain them .
so ,worry about your fellows americans and then we talk about Mexican alright??
Churches like power; the more people you have the more important and powerful you feel. For hundreds of years religious acts were conducted in languages the people could not read or write so as to assert even more power. As it has been and so it shall ever be I am afraid; Money & Power.
Its a cultural thing for catholic families to have big families. Even when the Irish came to Scotland and were relatively poor, they still had big families. Also poor families a lot of the time have big families for a number of reasons. First the wont or cant get birth control. They don't have two parents earning so there is no need to have small families. They cant afford to go out so they have sex instead
THAT IS WHY they are flocking to the U.S. We will pay for them. I had 2 and that was all I could afford. My favorite sayin is "have all the chidren you can afford to support, educate and give a good life to"
More kids = More welfare money
Anyone, Mexicans or otherwise, from a poorer background typically are more uninformed about and have less access to birth control than those from a better background.
Because we pay for them. They don't have this problem when they're in Mexico, it's not until they come here, that their reproductive systems kick into overdrive. It's like Halliburten, you get the most you can out of the government, you spend as little as you can on what you get the money for, and the difference is yours. Big bonuses for all.
Well, the more kids you have, the more money you get from welfare.
I personally think it's beacuse they have only enough money to purchase only food and probably very little else including birth control.
Everyone needs entertainment just to survive. Sex is the cheapest (generally free) entertainment I know.
They know the dumb Gringo's will give them welfare money!The more kids they have the easier to take over the country...
well, i think this can go for many poorer families across the board regardless of race. Poorer families are less likely to be educated and go on to school, well payin jobs, & so on. So they haven't anything else to do but have unprotected sex which leads to pregnancy w/o abortion (cost or religion) and eventually signle parents. many teens doont have the guidance from parents or the gull to even tell them. As for illegals, well they r either ignorant to birth control (what & where to get it) or they cant afford the monthly costs of visits or perscriptions cuz as we know they dont qualify for medical aid: oh and of course religion. I personally have seen many American women or even families who have large families some were white, black & yes mexicans. It just depends on ur view of life, look at the bigger picture.
1. b/c the are catholic
2. they know they can come to America and live off the tax payers and emergency rooms. They want the American dream but they don't want to contribute (pay taxes & be legal)
um why are millions of americans poor and have soooooooo many kids? And they don't even know the father? Because its life it happens to all races! FYI Not all Mexicans are poor you saying that tells me how much a selfish racist ***** you are! you need to grow up and realize it can happen to anyone even you!
98% of Hispanics are Catholic and are forbidden to use contraceptives.
