Your taxes will go up, and the reason is staring right at you ... keep on advocating in the win to loose game; count your losses at the end of the day.
Those illiterate migrants will be using more financial resources. Menial Labor= low wages = little or no taxes paid into system. Or, if paid cash, they pay no withholding, Yes, they pay sales taxes but if they are poor, that is a small amount.

And, yes, we are running out of land, water and resources. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

Exactly right. And if they refuse seeing it that way, then babies willl be born.

Of course, women are raped all times of the day and all situations just as men are robbed at all the hours of the day. Definite lack of control on the offender's part as well as the victim's.

Neighbor across from me has a 30 year old daughter who moved in with her. She was pregnant and unemployed, she since gave birth. For two months her baby has been in hospital getting detoxed because she did drugs while pregnant. Father is not involved. She gets cab rides to the hospital to visit her trophy baby once or more daily.

Millions of single mothers doing likewise will destroy our society. Meth babies will be incapable of doing anything but menial jobs - jobs done in the future by machines.

That is actually misleading numbers. Im not even sure how they got their numbers per "estimated number per 1000 women on assistance that might give birth". Based on the Census Bureau 2006 study (survey) there was an estimated 1.7 million women on public assistance compared to 74 million not on assistance. of those an estimated number who gave birth in the last 12 months, on assistance 262,300, not on assistance 3.9 million. There 3 times higher number (estimated number per 1000 women on assistance with the likelihood of giving birth) came to: on assistance 155 to 53 not on assistance.

Some trophy.
So what about heroin? Will all those babies be incapable of doing anything but menial jobs? I have a nephew whose children were born to an addict like 5-6 years ago. They both seem to be smart and well adjusted. I dont see any indicators that they will not be functional as adults.
My brother goes to church with a woman, married, whose second child had the cord wrapped around his neck cutting off the oxygen and he was born with intellectual and motor disabilities. He will never be capable of holding a job. I have two friends, both married, who gave birth to children with autism. They will never be capable of holding down a job.
But yes we have a drug problem in the US.

Are you employed? How do you have time to watch out the window to know how many times a day this woman gets in a cab and where she goes?

Amazing how people that complain about children being born into poverty are the same ones that want to restrict or stop birth control and abortions. It's as though they are confused!

How so? I'm not the guy knocking up women and paying child support.

I think many women want to have children with the men of their choice then have 3rd parties pay for it.

What should my attitude be? More cheerful that welfare women have children with the men of their choice and have 3rd parties pay for it?
