BBC News - Hispanic education in crisis

They make up 16% of the population now and will account for 29% of the population by 2050.

The issue has essentially reached a tipping point. It's harder to ignore the problems facing a minority group when they affect a third of the population.


It's also harder to solve their problems when they are growing so fast in numbers. You don't get the idea that the "hispanics" plan to pay for all the government assistance they believe they require.

We really are fast becoming another two-class Central American nation with incredible birth rates and very massive poverty.

Not only are will now unable to fix the problems of lower class Americans, the whole system is being overwhelmed by huge numbers of poverty-stricken foreigners moving in and their sky-high birth rates.

The article implies we need to give all we can to the illegals moving here in very high numbers and lift them up out of their poverty and pile on more free education for them, but the only thing giving them more does is encourage many more to come and have children they can never afford here.

How do we keep paying for the impoverished of the world to come here and have their high living standards? The main problem with their education however is the laziness of the parents who refuse to prepare their children for school. Language is just one part of it.

I couldn't have put it any better myself, and I agree completely. I'm just glad I never had kids.

Maybe if more Americans like you had kids we wouldn't need all these illegals to come in this country.

So you think the illegals are population replacement because Americans aren't having kids so it's o.k.?

That's about as sane as watering flowers with chocolate.

If that is what this person is insinuating then they need to get a grip on reality. Americans are producing at replacement rates. The birthrates in this country are still nearly double our deathrates. We have a shortage of jobs in this country with dwindling resources. Yeah, that's all we need is to promote illegal immigration into our country for population growth.

There is only one real solution to your dilemma: Tell all of your fellow Americans that aren't any particular ethnicity that you can complain about to have more children...
