I'd like to ask if a family in Mexico is very poor why would they still expand their family ?

Question

...if they are poor, how are they going to afford birth control? the same way they can afford the smugglers fee.

MayanPri…if they are as sick as you claim it would be next to impossible to walk 3 days when they might lucky to walk 3 minutes before they Collapse

Answer 1

I think the main reason is lack of education = ignorance. Secondary, I would say is the culture/religion. Macho cultures that endorse the man rules the roost and the woman must succumb to his wants/needs. Religion, such as the Catholic religion that does not promote family planning and birth control. Societies that do not have many wealthy people, teach the poor that even if they do not have material wealth, they are wealthy if they have lots of children who will provide for them in their old age.

Answer 2

Well, put it this way. In Mexico and in the entire third world is happening the same, why? You know more about Mexico because you heard the news and the hate towards us. But that it is happening in Venezuela, Brasil, Peru, Colombia, the vast majority of African countries and the answer is POVERTY AND IGNORANCE. At least in Mexico the result is children but in others countries is AIDS and people is dying at this very moment when I'm writing you. Those people don't have access to health for many reasons and one of them it is because they live in very far communities that take them 3 days walking to reach a town. Others because if they buy something to take care of, that means no food. There is no planning, there is the high price that they have to paid for their ignorance, poverty and for the government indifference.

Answer 3

Family is not something that is in your vocabulary? I hope your children leave your *** in an old folks home. When you live in relative poverty, family becomes an important part of your life. The old values are better than the ones Americans embrace. Cancel NAFTA damn it! Lopez Obrador had a plan that would have worked out so that mexicans did not have to come to this barbaric country.

Answer 4

because some countries like the USA do not discourage the free naturalization program of their children born here by abolishing it all together. In this way it is their "equalizer" to put the burden on Americans to help fund and educate their children - rather than separating the family unit.

Answer 5

Poor is relative in different parts of the world.
In America, you are poor if you can't have a
car, because it is virtually impossible to go
some places without a car. So you are
socially impaired, because you are less
self-reliant. I don't have to ride the subsidized
transportation, and I feel blessed.

Answer 6

Because their religious beliefs prohibit the use of contraception. Because they know little of the reproductive cycle, so they don't know when to have sex and not conceive. Because it is a male dominated society, wherein the role of a wife, among other things, is to submit to sex with her husband whether or not she wants to or whether or not it is "a bad time." These things are particularly true in rural areas where people tend to be even poorer.

Answer 7

Because most mexicans are Catholic, and the faith prohibits any contraceptives. Too bad Catholicism doesn't prohibit illegally sneaking into another country simply to suck them dry!!

Answer 8

they are not educated the right way. the only thing good out of illegal kids going to American schools is they will be educated on this problem they are having in Mexico.

Answer 9

Why do any poor people anywhere in the world try to expand their families even though they are in poverty? If you can answer that question there wouldn't be any poor people in the world.

Answer 10

The answer is most people are stupid.


Just keep off each other!!!
