Does Immigration, Ethnicity, and Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing Lead to poverty?

Question

The low levels of education among Hispanic parents, a second major factor contributing to Hispanic immigrant child poverty is the high level of family disintegration among Hispanics, both immigrants and non-immigrants. Out-of-wedlock childbearing is more common among first-generation Hispanic immigrants than among any other immigrant group. In the U.S. in 2003, some 42 percent of children of first-generation immigrant Hispanic mothers were born outside marriage. Among black immigrant mothers, the rate was 39.5 percent; among Asian immigrants, 11.6 percent; and among white non-Hispanic immigrants, 11.2 percent. Among native-born Hispanic women, the out-of-wedlock childbearing rate is even higher at 49.6 percent.

In general, children born and raised outside marriage are seven times more likely to live in poverty than are chil­dren born and raised by married couples. Children born out of wedlock are also more likely to be on welfare, to fail in school, to have emotional problems, to abuse drugs and alcohol, and to become involved in crime

Answer 1

A very informative post,thank you .
The playing of the race card doesn't change the facts and
when you don't have a viable argument to back up your view ,then out comes the trusty"you're a racist " rhetoric.
Where are your facts that say it isn't true ??

I deal in facts and the truth backed up by reliable reputable sources, NOT emotion based self interests.

And I never feel the need to insult people or call them derogatory names.

Answer 3

That's a con of Mexican culture, all cultures have negative things. Do you want me to bash on YOUR culture MinuteWoman? I have a lot of material on you. Maybe not, because if I do I will be called anti-American. So if you don't want people to pull out the dirty secrets of white people, then please don't be talking negatively about Hispanics (or blacks).
