[Monterrosa-24]

Once again, we see that while our well-educated and law-abiding young women marry and have two children, our unmarried young women and recent immigrants are having a great number of children. When I lived in El Salvador, I dated a bank employee who was in her mid-twenties and childless but her ironing maid who came in twice-a-week to iron had six children. My banker pal berated her maid who was unmarried and pregnant again over why she kept having so many children and the maid responded with a shrugg as if there were no other options (government-subsidized birth control pills cost three Colones per month at that time or about fifty cents U.S.). In El Salvador and in the U.S. there is a crises of the middle class under reproducing and the lower class over reproducing. There are lots of people in the world but there is always a shortage of good people. The oceans of others may swamp us especially if we don't get a hold on immigration. I love Salvadorans but we don't always get the best of them as immigrants and we can achieve a low population growth simply by curtailing immigration.

Truer words have not been spoken on the immigration issue. You get more of what you subsidize, and right now, we are subsidizing the expansion of the bottom of the gene pool.

well said.....if the doctors and engineers and the pilots and yes, even the lawyer type people don't start having more children, then we will very quickly be over run with the white trash and the black trash and the many colored trash that is out there....
