Well, you can't source anything that says they don't so the fact that 54% of babies are born on Medicaid is proof that many have kids thyey knew they couldn't afford.

You can look up birthrates, including historical birthrates on the internet. I'm not going to do your homework for you and your ignorance of the facts isn't an excuse.

Correlation is not causation and that's supported by the facts whether you choose to do the work or not.

The one ignorant of the facts is you. I pointed out that 54% of all births are on medicaid, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out most of those were intentional to get assistance.

Then you can easily prove it.

Yes 54% of babies are born on Medicaid. That is easily proven. Closer Look: Medicaid birth coverage fact of life - Chicago Sun-Times

I'm not questioning that. I'm asking you to prove that you're sure of the motivations of those people having those babies.

You've mentioned rocket scientists twice. I believe an actual rocket scientist knows enough about science and the scientific method to know that the telekinetic powers you claim to possess (you claim to know the motivations of those women having those babies, and that's mind-reading) aren't proven to even exist. By all means, if you have any data that shows, and forget a majority, any statistically measurable number of those women at all who have those babies just so they can receive additional welfare benefits, I'd like you to finally provide it.

Plus the fact that millions of impoverished foreigners pour over the borders to give birth at taxpayer expense so they can start getting in on the wonderful life of very generous welfare handouts.

You surely can't be so daft as to lump all taxpayers into one big group.

I mean you do realize that there are different types of taxes, right?

You haven't proven any facts, let alone facts about those on welfare.
