“Personally, I don’t see how “flooding this countries with illegals” (sic) fits in with the others, as a great many of the Hispanic families who came across are - well — families, espousing and living more traditional family values than many U.S citizens, including lower use of artificial contraceptives.
Obviously you’ve never visited California
In addition to the 42 percent rate for Hispanic immigrants, the illegitimacy rate is now 39 percent for black immigrants, 11 percent for Asian/Pacific Islanders, and 12 percent for white immigrants.
A 42% illegitimacy rate is not a "family."
Illegitimacy also can be measured by the share of unmarried women who give birth. One out of every 12 unmarried immigrant women had a baby in 2003; for natives it was one out of 25. For Hispanic immigrants it was one in seven.
Sound like "traditional values?" Really?
Another reason to think illegitimacy is more related to culture than legal status is that college-educated Hispanic immigrants, only a small share of whom are illegal, still have triple the rate of illegitimacy as college educated natives.
Just because they’re nominally “Catholic” doesn’t mean they have anything remotely resembling “traditional family values.”
