New Yorkers have stopped breeding
New York Post ^ | April 27, 2015 | Carl Campanile

More New Yorkers are keeping their nests empty.

The city’s birth rate is the lowest since 1936 — having steadily declined over the past decade, according to data obtained by The Post.

“This is a very troubling trend,” said Conservative Party state chairman Mike Long. “The economy is hurting families and the development of families.”

“If we don’t produce enough young people, society won’t be able to pay for Social Security and Medicaid,” he warned.

The article says black women actually have the lowest birth rate and Asian the highest. Half of babies are born to foreign-born mothers, and nearly 60% were born to mothers on Medicaid or state-financed insurance, 40% to unwed mothers.

I don’t know if Asian means Chinese or Pakistani.

It’s all by design. Big Government wants to limit native born people, who tend to demand more self sufficiency, limited government and the punishment of corrupt politicians.

New York is a Behavioral Sink

The ethologist John B. Calhoun coined the term "behavioral sink" to describe the collapse in behavior which resulted from overcrowding. Over a number of years, Calhoun conducted over-population experiments on rats[1] which culminated in 1962 with the publication of an article in the Scientific American of a study of behavior under conditions of overcrowding.[2] In it, Calhoun coined the term "behavioral sink". Calhoun's work became used as an animal model of societal collapse, and his study has become a touchstone of urban sociology and psychology in general.[3]

In it, Calhoun described the behavior as follows:

Many [female mice] were unable to carry pregnancy to full term or to survive delivery of their litters if they did. An even greater number, after successfully giving birth, fell short in their maternal functions. Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal from which individuals would emerge to eat, drink and move about only when other members of the community were asleep. The social organization of the animals showed equal disruption. [...]

The common source of these disturbances became most dramatically apparent in the populations of our first series of three experiments, in which we observed the development of what we called a behavioral sink. The animals would crowd together in greatest number in one of the four interconnecting pens in which the colony was maintained. As many as 60 of the 80 rats in each experimental population would assemble in one pen during periods of feeding. Individual rats would rarely eat except in the company of other rats. As a result extreme population densities developed in the pen adopted for eating, leaving the others with sparse populations.

[...] In the experiments in which the behavioral sink developed, infant mortality ran as high as 96 percent among the most disoriented groups in the population.[4]

“If we don’t produce enough young people, society won’t be able to pay for Social Security and Medicaid”

Hence, one of the reasons Rats want Amnesty. Looking for a new source of revenue. After the illegals are tapped out and go home, next stop will be child labor.

Never in all of this will they admit that the general welfare of the state is negatively affected by homosexual couples that are naturally unable to conceive the next wave of tax revenue generation.

This is the way Anglos think. They love their birth control. That is why we have open borders, under Obama. Our birth rate is not cutting it and the Anglos are done. (But not the Mexicans and South Americans.)

I can’t believe that is a statement of the NYS Conservative Party Chairman!

I believe they mean the taxpayers have stopped breeding. I’m sure the welfare class is still fertile.

I’m very Pro choice on this. I fully support the New Yorkers’ obviously environmentally positive choice not to breed. And I feel confident in saying that the other 49 states are grateful for their clearly progressive decision.

It’s the best of all possible worlds really.
