Is illegal immigration caused by Mexicans having children that they can't support?

No.

simply_the_lady

illegal immigration has nothing to do with mexicans having more then one child. or ANY people from "poorer" nation for that matter.

Most Mexicans are Catholics. Catholics do not believe in birth control.

You cannot force other people to adhere to what you think is right and you cannot force other people to stop practicing their religion.

I happen to agree with you that if you cannot support kids, you shouldn't have them. I wish everyone saw it that way actually.

Its like this in the US also. Check out the Gettos and Slums. Uncle Sam PAYS Kids for having Kids now a days. It is a Profitable Business to some *people*. The more kids the more Food Stamps, and the Bigger Check. You could not pay them to work for any amount of money when they can get it for FREE.

no its about people coming to this country illegal...duh, nothing to do about kids it's about people who don't give to society and take from it. if all illegals started paying all taxes to,tomorrow i wouldn't care one bit about them. but until they pay taxes like law abiding citizens they can go back to what ever hell hole they came from.

Malthusian economics suggest that overpopulation is necessary for mass killings and Darwinian evolution to occur in our society's elaborate variation of the animal kingdom.
Poverty is exacerbated by people having more children than they can support. This poverty leads to illegal immigration into the US, which inevitably causes Americans' living standards to decline.

A very small portion of people benefit from illegal immigrants. Same goes for "free trade" with China. Without illegal immigrants, all the grape pickers and the other "low wage" jobs would become higher wage work. Furthermore, they would lower the population to lower the price of goods and services. This would help create an American upwardly mobile middle class. I'm from numberonesurvivor's company.

Part of it is. Since they know that if they squeeze their babies out here, the baby is considered a citizen, so that makes them eligible for all kinds of benefits that are paid for by working people.

Luke:

You seem confused. The U.S. Federal Goverment debt is
$ 8 , 8 3 6 , 6 9 0 , 1 2 3 , 9 1 1 . 5 1 Yep that is 8 trillion. The total national debt is about 5.5 times that amount. The housing market has now went boom. Within about 6 months you will see or hear about thousands of people who have lost their job. Within about 0ne year you will see or hear about more thousands of people without work... We are not the worlds richest nation. We are the worlds gratest debtor nation. We are now entering into a depression greater than the great depression... Illegals come here to do the work that whites are to lazy to do... Construction being one. Yes Luke, you are about to see people starving to death in this nation.

You have a good day.

Some of the poorer nations do not have the child labor laws that we do in the USA. This is actually a fairly new occurance in our own laws even though it their are few people left alive now who would remember it. In a country like that having more children actually contributes to the family income. Children are made to work and help support the family and they have little if any chance at an education.

JUSTME

No, it isn't fair, but the more kids you have, the more money the government gives you.

illegal immigration is allowed and even encouraged by the Bush administration,, it has nothing to do with having more than one child,,,

Luke, illegal immigration has nothing to do with Mexicans or having children. It has to do with anyone coming into a country (USA) and not doing it legally.
Immigrants aren't the only ones that have children they can not afford many Americans also have to many children that our taxes pay for. USA is the one of the richest countries in the world and many people come from poor countries looking for a better life.

Zoe

I've always wondered the same thing. If these people are so poor and living from one meal to the next why they want to bring children into the world there is just something very backwards about this.

McKevel

Yeah. I think you're trying to say that if Mexico had better living standards, they wouldn't immigrate to the US. A lot of illegal immigration is rooted in Mexico's insanely high 1.37% population growth rate which requires rapid development in technology to maintain the same living standards. Their population growth rate has carried to the US, which has a population growth rate of .96% annually. Unless action is taken, the standard of living will drop dramatically due to more people and fewer natural resources.

For the poorest population of Mexico, they are not wondered if they can support its children before having them, mainly by religious reasons, "GOD WILL PROVIDE", or "WHERE TWO PEOPLE EAT, CAN EAT THREE ALSO", they say.
-
Population growth is not the main reason to be immigrants, a lot of them are unmarried.
-
Reason is simple, USA needs workers and Mexico (Americas too) can supply them.
-
Mainly, the first time immigrants sent money to its countries, their families used the money to buy these devices: video cameras, games, cellular phones, DVD's and Satellite antennas. Feeding, education and home facilities are not priority number one.

i know plenty of white folk that live in trailers that keep having kids with no visible means of support cmon don't you watch Jerry springer...maybe they keep having kids cause they don't have medical insurance and therefor cannot afford birth control..and as far as illegal immigrants go could you imagine if there were no immigrants who in the hell would
drive taxi
pick fruits and vegetables
be janitors etc etc
housekeepers
the list goes on and on
if the immigrants stop having babies who will do all those jobs in the next generation seriously having children is every human being right and for every poor person in north America there is an obscenely rich person getting richer by the second in part because they hire illegal immigrants and don't pay taxes for them so who is the real problem
the immigrants or the people who exploit them

summermoondancer2004

Luke no it is caused by the US when we steal land that doesn't belong to us because we think it is our right by God to steal it. It comes from us making cooked up plans such as NAFTA that cost Mexicans jobs in Mexico but bring us more wealth and take it away from them. Then we are stupid enough to not understand why people distrust us. Learn something about the government the government is filled with thieves and crooks.

If they have an insanely high population then why do we have 300 million and they have 100 million? And don't give me crap about they are here because only 5 million Mexicans are here in an undocumented status the rest are from other countries.
