Special guest columnist report: Hispanic Single Moms
By Special Guest Columnist Craig J. Cantoni
The lamestream media told you:
Single Moms are an increasing part of America's demographic, and although many struggle financially, they are just as capable of raising healthy children as married couples. More federal aid money for single-Mom day-care centers and other uses is sorely needed in tremendous quantities.
The Uninvited Ombudsman's good friend and fellow author Craig Cantoni notes however that:
The statistics are difficult to find in the establishment media, even though they have tremendous implications for society, the economy, K-12 education, America's competitiveness, and your family's financial future.
I found the statistics in the Autumn edition of City Journal magazine, in the following article by Heather Mac Donald: "Hispanic family values? Runaway illegitimacy is creating a new U.S. underclass."
The article compares birth statistics for Hispanics to birth statistics for other races:
Out-of-Wedlock Births
Hispanics = 45%
Non-Hispanic Whites = 24%
Asians = 15%
Blacks = 68%
Teen Births
Mexican Americans = 93 per 1,000 births
Non-Hispanic Whites = 27 per 1,000
Asians = 17 per 1,000
Blacks = 65 per 1,000
(Note: For an international comparison, Japan has 3.9 and Italy has 6.9 teen births per 1,000.)
Hispanic Birthrate
- Three times higher than Non-Hispanic Whites and Asians
- One-and-one-half times higher than Blacks
By 2050, one in four Americans will be Hispanic. This demographic trend, coupled with the statistics above, will have a huge negative impact on crime rates, poverty rates, dropout rates, and test scores. How do I know? Because it is a fact that teen births and out-of-wedlock births are primary causes of such social pathologies, although it is considered gauche and politically incorrect to say so.
