If Mexicans are so poor in Mexico...why do they have SO many babies?

Question

Are they eating thier young? Becuase I know they are not that stupid

Birth controll is avaiable free or really cheap in Mexico

Answer 1

Only three channels on TV, rabbit ears don't work, put butter on our one door knob so the dozen kids don't watch ...cause I'm bored! ALL Hispanic men know their women are just W.M. That's why they keep them locked up at home!

Answer 2

Yada, Yada, Yada you all!
Mexicans have as many kids as they can because it is a form of old age security. Many poorer countries peoples carry on this way. If you have lots of kids, the one's that survive can take care of you and the Mrs. in your old age.
Also, many children, infants die at young ages in Mexico due to poor health, lack of clean air and water and no medicines due to poverty or simple lack of medicines.
Life is cheap in a third world country. These folks are playing by a different set of rules than the rest of us.
If we don't stop illegal immigration, their rules (poverty, crime, lack, disease, ignorance) will become our heritage by simple numbers. More of them and less of us.
Illegal immigration must be stopped. Legal immigration is a good thing but law and order must be kept in place and enforced or we will all end up living like they do in Mexico.

Answer 3

1. Not all Mexicans are 'so poor'.
2. Mexico is a Catholic country and don't believe in birth control. Hispanics are very big on family life, its just part of their culture.
3. They want the joy of a family

Answer 4

Traditional beliefs.

1.) namesakes.... It is believed to be an honor to name children after many of your relatives..

2.) sex preference - while trying to bear a boy and all u have is gals then u keep going until u get the boy.

3.) the bigger the family, the happier the family.

4.) God's command "fill the earth and subdue it."

Answer 5

The way of life causing one to be "poor", causes many people to react in a variety different ways.

A person's religion sometimes REQUIRES, progeny. Some even require more than one.

Think of China, many years ago. Maybe the only diversion from the hard ways of keeping alive was having sex.

China grew to become the most populated country in the whole world. Control of that way of life was essential.

They worked it out.

And are now able to see a better way of living.

Mexico is a similar problem. In my opinion, however, their's is government and lack of control by their people of it.

So, perhaps frustration leads to similar various outlets.

But religion certainly does not help control it.

Answer 6

bigger families to help with the work like farming ect. Also you have to think that 1/4 of there ,kids will die from disease. They don't have free health care in Mexico.

Answer 7

I have never understood that. People keep saying that it's because they are Catholic but pre marital sex is also against the Catholic faith and look at how well they ad-her to that rule!

It is just pure stupidity to keep having children that you can't feed.

Answer 8

Because they enjoy sex?

No seriously, it could be because they are catholics, birth control isn't widely available, and the more kids you have, the more work resources you have.

Wait a minute, how many babies do they have?

I really don't know.

Answer 9

It goes way back in time....Mexicans needed to have many children, to help them with farming.....Its because of poverty they have so many children, how many educated people have a ton of kids? Not to many, they have access to good health care and an education....Stop being so judgmental, since you know nothing of the indigent in Mexico. BTW I know many Mexicans with only one or two kids....

Answer 10

High birth rates are common in poor nations...
Ignorance, Catholicism, infant mortalaity , child labor and retirement are all contributing factors..
