Nearly 9 out of 10 Latino babies born in the U.S. relied on WIC La Raza says (legal, Hispanic)

[oz in SC]

Quick search of the link found this:

For ethnicity, 42.1 percent of participants reported as Hispanic/Latino, representing a slight increase (by almost 1 percentage point) reporting Hispanic/Latino ethnicity since 2006.

Now that is ALL participants,including women.

Thatd be like Obama drastically overestimating US troop death tolls in a plea for more action in Libya. It's highly counterintuitive.

why would you believe la raza when you've never believed them before?

why is it just this instance when you believe them?

as i said, im not interested in picking and choosing spots when to believe a group and when not.

i dont have time for that.

i need verifiable proof from somebody not involved, a neutral source.

if i can get that, im on board with you k.smith, we'll ride together.

until then, its just a waste of time.

It's not about WIC. It's about your taxdollars going to who knows how many illegal immigrants. How you like that fact?

1) La Raza, a child of the Left, admits that 9 in 10 Latino children are on WIC
2) American Citizenship is not required for this handout

What's your position on this?

A great way to make a country go broke.

That means 90% get WIC. How many are legally here?

I would say la raza needs to try to determine why 9 out of 10 latino children are on wic and do what they can to reduce this number, instead of fighting the govt to keep the assistance.

I believe that us citenzship should be a requirement in order to receive us assistance. Our resources are already stretched and I think this is an instance where home needs to be taken care of first.

i refute the stats because it comes from an organization you never believe to begin with, and now all of a sudden believe them.

its picking and choosing, which implies when it suits your agenda you'll believe anything, even if it comes from people you never agree with.

as i said, im not interested in playing those games.

That is discriminatory....next you would want people to prove they are eligible to vote...
