Hispanic Family Values?Runaway illegitimacy is creating a new U.S. underclass.
Heather Mac Donald
Unless the life chances of children raised by
single mothers suddenly improve, the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic
population over the next couple of decades does not bode well for American
social stability. Hispanic immigrants bring near–Third World levels of
fertility to America, coupled with what were once thought to be First World
levels of illegitimacy. (In fact, family breakdown is higher in many Hispanic
countries than here.) Nearly half of the children born to Hispanic mothers in
the U.S. are born out of wedlock, a proportion that has been increasing rapidly
with no signs of slowing down. Given what psychologists and sociologists now
know about the much higher likelihood of social pathology among those who grow
up in single-mother households, the Hispanic baby boom is certain to produce
more juvenile delinquents, more school failure, more welfare use, and more teen
pregnancy in the future.
The government social-services sector has already
latched onto this new client base; as the Hispanic population expands, so will
the demands for a larger welfare state. Since conservative open-borders
advocates have yet to acknowledge the facts of Hispanic family breakdown, there
is no way to know what their solution to it is. But they had better come up
with one quickly, because the problem is here—and growing.
The dimensions of the Hispanic baby boom are
startling. The Hispanic birthrate is twice as high as that of the rest of the
American population. That high fertility rate—even more than unbounded levels
of immigration—will fuel the rapid Hispanic population boom in the coming
decades. By 2050, the Latino population will have tripled, the Census Bureau projects.
One in four Americans will be Hispanic by mid-century, twice the current ratio.
In states such as California and Texas, Hispanics will be in the clear
majority. Nationally, whites will drop from near 70 percent of the total
population in 2000 to just half by 2050. Hispanics will account for 46 percent
of the nation’s added population over the next two decades, the Pew Hispanic
Center reports.
But it’s the fertility surge among unwed Hispanics
that should worry policymakers. Hispanic women have the highest unmarried
birthrate in the country—over three times that of whites and Asians, and nearly
one and a half times that of black women, according to the Centers for Disease
Control. Every 1,000 unmarried Hispanic women bore 92 children in 2003 (the latest
year for which data exist), compared with 28 children for every 1,000 unmarried
white women, 22 for every 1,000 unmarried Asian women, and 66 for every 1,000
unmarried black women. Forty-five percent of all Hispanic births occur outside
of marriage, compared with 24 percent of white births and 15 percent of Asian
births. Only the percentage of black out-of-wedlock births—68 percent—exceeds
the Hispanic rate. But the black population is not going to triple over the
next few decades.
As if the unmarried Hispanic birthrate weren’t
worrisome enough, it is increasing faster than among other groups. It jumped 5
percent from 2002 to 2003, whereas the rate for other unmarried women remained
flat. Couple the high and increasing illegitimacy rate of Hispanics with their
higher overall fertility rate, and you have a recipe for unstoppable family
breakdown.
The only bright news in this demographic disaster
story concerns teen births. Overall teen childbearing in the U.S. declined for
the 12th year in a row in 2003, having dropped by more than a third since 1991.
Yet even here, Hispanics remain a cause for concern. The rate of childbirth for
Mexican teenagers, who come from by far the largest and fastest-growing
immigrant population, greatly outstrips every other group. The Mexican teen
birthrate is 93 births per every 1,000 girls, compared with 27 births for every
1,000 white girls, 17 births for every 1,000 Asian girls, and 65 births for
every 1,000 black girls. To put these numbers into international perspective, Japan’s
teen birthrate is 3.9, Italy’s is 6.9, and France’s is 10. Even though the
outsize U.S. teen birthrate is dropping, it continues to inflict unnecessary
costs on the country, to which Hispanics contribute disproportionately.
To grasp the reality behind those numbers, one need
only talk to people working on the front lines of family breakdown. Social
workers in Southern California, the national epicenter for illegal Hispanic
immigrants and their progeny, are in despair over the epidemic of single parenting.
Not only has illegitimacy become perfectly acceptable, they say, but so has the
resort to welfare and social services to cope with it.
Dr. Ana Sanchez delivers babies at St. Joseph’s
Hospital in the city of Orange, California, many of them to Hispanic teenagers.
To her dismay, they view having a child at their age as normal. A recent
patient just had her second baby at age 17; the baby’s father is in jail. But
what is “most alarming,” Sanchez says, is that the “teens’ parents view having
babies outside of marriage as normal, too. A lot of the grandmothers are single
as well; they never married, or they had successive partners. So the mom sends
the message to her daughter that it’s okay to have children out of wedlock.”
Sanchez feels almost personally involved in the
problem: “I’m Hispanic myself. I wish I could find out what the Asians are
doing right.” She guesses that Asian parents’ passion for education inoculates
their children against teen pregnancy and the underclass trap. “Hispanics are
not picking that up like the Asian kids,” she sighs.
Conservatives who support open borders are fond of
invoking “Hispanic family values” as a benefit of unlimited Hispanic
immigration. Marriage is clearly no longer one of those family values. But
other kinds of traditional Hispanic values have survived—not all of them
necessarily ideal in a modern economy, however. One of them is the importance
of having children early and often. “It’s considered almost a badge of honor
for a young girl to have a baby,” says Peggy Schulze of Chrysalis House, an
adoption agency in Fresno. (Fresno has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates
in California, typical of the state’s heavily Hispanic farm districts.) It is
almost impossible to persuade young single Hispanic mothers to give up their
children for adoption, Schulze says. “The attitude is: ‘How could you give away
your baby?’ I don’t know how to break through.”
The most powerful Hispanic family value—the
tight-knit extended family—facilitates unwed child rearing. A single mother’s
relatives often step in to make up for the absence of the baby’s father. I
asked Mona, a 19-year-old parishioner at St. Joseph’s Church in Santa Ana,
California, if she knew any single mothers. She laughed: “There are so many I
can’t even name them.” Two of her cousins, aged 25 and 19, have children
without having husbands. The situation didn’t seem to trouble this churchgoer
too much. “They’ll be strong enough to raise them. It’s totally okay with us,”
she said. “We’re very close; we’re there to support them. They’ll do just
fine.”
As Mona’s family suggests, out-of-wedlock child
rearing among Hispanics is by no means confined to the underclass. The St.
Joseph’s parishioners are precisely the churchgoing, blue-collar workers whom
open-borders conservatives celebrate. Yet this community is as susceptible as
any other to illegitimacy. Fifty-year-old Irma and her husband, Rafael, came
legally from Mexico in the early 1970s. Rafael works in a meatpacking plant in
Brea; they have raised five husky boys who attend church with them. Yet Irma’s
sister—a homemaker like herself, also married to a factory hand—is now the
grandmother of two illegitimate children, one by each daughter. “I saw nothing
in the way my sister and her husband raised her children to explain it,” Irma
says. “She gave them everything.” One of the fathers of Irma’s young nieces has
four other children by a variety of different mothers. His construction wages
are being garnished for child support, but he is otherwise not involved in
raising his children.
The fathers of these illegitimate children are
often problematic in even more troubling ways. Social workers report that the
impregnators of younger Hispanic women are with some regularity their uncles,
not necessarily seen as a bad thing by the mother’s family. Alternatively, the
father may be the boyfriend of the girl’s mother, who then continues to stay
with the grandmother. Older men seek out young girls in the belief that a
virgin cannot get pregnant during her first intercourse, and to avoid sexually
transmitted diseases.
The tradition of starting families young and
expand- ing them quickly can come into conflict with more modern American
mores. Ron Storm, the director of the Hillview Acres foster-care home in Chino,
tells of a 15-year-old girl who was taken away from the 21-year-old father of
her child by a local child-welfare department. The boyfriend went to jail,
charged with rape. But the girl’s parents complained about the agency’s
interference, and eventually both the girl and her boyfriend ended up going
back to Mexico, presumably to have more children. “At 15, as the QuinceaƱera
tradition celebrates, you’re considered ready for marriage,” says Storm. Or at
least for childbearing; the marriage part is disappearing.
But though older men continue to take advantage of
younger women, the age gap between the mother and the father of an illegitimate
child is quickly closing. Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino
Counties tries to teach young fathers to take responsibility for their children.
“We’re seeing a lot more 13- and 14-year-old fathers,” says Kathleen Collins,
v.p. of health education. The day before we spoke, Scott Montoya, an Orange
County sheriff’s deputy, arrested two 14-year-old boys who were bragging about
having sexual relations with a cafeteria worker from an Olive Garden
restaurant. “It’s now all about getting girls pregnant when you’re age 15,” he
says. One 18-year-old in the Planned Parenthood fathers’ program has two
children by two different girls and is having sex with five others, says health
worker Jason Warner. “A lot of [the adolescent sexual behavior] has to do with
getting respect from one’s peers,” observes Warner.
Normally, the fathers, of whatever age, take off.
“The father may already be married or in prison or doing drugs,” says Amanda
Gan, director of operations for Toby’s House, a maternity home in Dana Point,
California. Mona, the 19-year-old parishioner at St. Joseph’s Church, says that
the boys who impregnated her two cousins are “nowhere to be found.” Her family
knows them but doesn’t know if they are working or in jail.
Two teen mothers at the Hillview Acres home
represent the outer edge of Hispanic family dysfunction. Yet many aspects of
their lives are typical. Though these teenagers’ own mothers were unusually
callous and irresponsible, the social milieu in which they were raised is not
unusual.
Irene’s round, full face makes her look younger
than her 14 years, certainly too young to be a mother. But her own mother’s
boyfriend repeatedly forced sex on her, with the mother’s acquiescence. The
result was Irene’s baby, Luz. Baby Luz has an uncle her own age, Irene’s new
13-month-old brother. Like Irene, Irene’s mother had her first child at 14, and
produced five more over the next 16 years, all of whom went into foster care.
Irene’s father committed suicide before she was old enough to know him. The
four fathers of her siblings are out of the picture, too: one of them, the
father of her seven-year-old brother and five-year-old sister, was deported
back to Mexico after he showed up drunk for a visit with his children, in
violation of his probation conditions.
Irene is serene and articulate—remarkably so,
considering that in her peripatetic early life in Orange County she went to
school maybe twice a week. She likes to sing and to read books that are sad,
she says, especially books by Dave Pelzer, a child-abuse victim who has
published three best-selling memoirs about his childhood trauma. She says she
will never get married: “I don’t want another man in my life. I don’t want that
experience again.”
Eighteen-year-old Jessica at least escaped rape,
but her family experiences were bad enough. The large-limbed young woman, whose
long hair is pulled back tightly from her heart-shaped face, grew up in the
predominantly Hispanic farming community of Indio in the Coachella Valley. She
started “partying hard” in fifth grade, she says—at around the same time that
her mother, separated from her father, began using drugs and going clubbing. By
the eighth grade, Jessica and her mother were drinking and smoking marijuana
together. Jessica’s family had known her boyfriend’s family since she was four;
when she had her first child by him—she was 14 and he was 21—her mother
declared philosophically that she had always known that it would happen. “It
was okay with her, so long as he continued to give her drugs.”
Jessica originally got pregnant to try to clean up
her life, she says. “I knew what I was doing was not okay, so having a baby was
a way for me to stop doing what I was doing. In that sense, the baby was
planned.” She has not used drugs since her first pregnancy, though she
occasionally drinks. After her daughter was born, she went to live with her
boyfriend in a filthy trailer without plumbing; they scrounged food from dumpsters,
despite the income from his illegal drug business. They planned to get married,
but by the time she got pregnant again with a son, “We were having a lot of
problems. We’d be holding hands, and he’d be looking at other girls. I didn’t
want him to touch me.” Eventually, the county welfare agency removed her and
put her in foster care with her two children.
Both Jessica and her caddish former boyfriend
illustrate the evanescence of the celebrated Hispanic “family values.” Her
boyfriend’s family could not be more traditional. Two years ago, Jessica went
back to Mexico to celebrate her boyfriend’s parents’ 25th wedding anniversary
and the renewal of their wedding vows. Jessica’s own mother got married at 15
to her father, who was ten years her senior. Her father would not let his wife
work; she was a “stay-at-home wife,” Jessica says. But don’t blame the move to
the U.S. for the behavior of younger generations; the family crack-up is
happening even faster in Latin America.
Jessica’s mother may have been particularly
negligent, but Jessica’s experiences are not so radically different from those
of her peers. “Everybody’s having babies now,” she says. “The Coachella Valley
is filled with girls’ pregnancies. Some girls live with their babies’ dads;
they consider them their husbands.” These cohabiting relationships rarely last,
however, and a new cohort of fatherless children goes out into the world.
Despite the strong family support, the prevalence
of single parenting among Hispanics is producing the inevitable slide into the
welfare system. “The girls aren’t marrying the guys, so they are married to the
state,” Dr. Sanchez observes. Hispanics now dominate the federal Women,
Infants, and Children free food program; Hispanic enrollment grew over 25
percent from 1996 to 2002, while black enrollment dropped 12 percent and white
enrollment dropped 6.5 percent. Illegal immigrants can get WIC and other
welfare programs for their American-born children. If Congress follows
President Bush’s urging and grants amnesty to most of the 11 million illegal
aliens in the country today, expect the welfare rolls to skyrocket as the
parents themselves become eligible.
Amy Braun works for Mary’s Shelter, a home for
young single mothers who are homeless or in crisis, in Orange County, California.
It has become “culturally okay” for the Hispanic population to use the shelter
and welfare system, Braun says. A case manager at a program for pregnant
homeless women in the city of Orange observes the same acculturation to the
social-services sector, with its grievance mongering and sense of victimhood.
“I’ll have women in my office on their fifth child, when the others have
already been placed in foster care,” says Anita Berry of Casa Teresa. “There’s
nothing shameful about having multiple children that you can’t care for, and to
be pregnant again, because then you can blame the system.”
The consequences of family breakdown are now being
passed down from one generation to the next, in an echo of the black
underclass. “The problems are deeper and wider,” says Berry. “Now you’re
getting the second generation of foster care and group home residents. The
dysfunction is multigenerational.”
The social-services complex has responded with
barely concealed enthusiasm to this new flood of clients. As Hispanic social
problems increase, so will the government sector that ministers to them. In
July, a New York Times editorial, titled young latinas and a cry for help,
pointed out the elevated high school dropout rates and birthrates among
Hispanic girls. A quarter of all Latinas are mothers by the age of 20, reported
the Times. With the usual melodrama that accompanies the pitch for more
government services, the Times designated young Latinas as “endangered” in the
same breath that it disclosed that they are one of the fastest-growing segments
of the population. “The time to help is now,” said the Times—by which it means
ratcheting up the taxpayer-subsidized social-work industry.
In response to the editorial, Carmen Barroso,
regional director of International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western
Hemisphere Region, proclaimed in a letter to the editor the “urgent need for
health care providers, educators and advocates to join the sexual and
reproductive health movement to ensure the fundamental right to services for
young Latinas.”
Wherever these “fundamental rights” might come
from, Barroso’s call nevertheless seems quite superfluous, since there is no
shortage of taxpayer-funded “services” for troubled Latinas—or Latinos. The
schools in California’s San Joaquin Valley have day care for their students’
babies, reports Peggy Schulze of Chrysalis House. “The girls get whatever they
need—welfare, medical care.” Advocates for young unwed moms in New York’s South
Bronx are likewise agitating for more day-care centers in high schools there,
reports El Diario/La Prensa. A bill now in Congress, the Latina Adolescent
Suicide Prevention Act, aims to channel $10 million to “culturally competent”
social agencies to improve the self-esteem of Latina girls and to provide “support
services” to their families and friends if they contemplate suicide.
The trendy “case management” concept, in which
individual “cases” become the focal point around which a solar system of social
workers revolves, has even reached heavily Hispanic elementary and middle
schools. “We have a coordinator, who brings in a collaboration of agencies to
deal with the issues that don’t allow a student to meet his academic goals,
such as domestic violence or drugs,” explains Sylvia Rentria, director of the
Family Resource Center at Berendo Middle School in Los Angeles. “We can provide
individual therapy.” Rentria offers the same program at nearby Hoover
Elementary School for up to 100 students.
This July, Rentria launched a new session of
Berendo’s Violence Intervention Program for parents of children who are showing
signs of gang involvement and other antisocial behavior. Ghady M., 55 and a
“madre soltera” (single mother), like most of the mothers in the program, has
been called in because her 16-year-old son, Christian, has been throwing gang
signs at school, cutting half his classes, and ending up in the counseling
office every day. The illegal Guatemalan is separated from her partner, who was
“muy malo,” she says; he was probably responsible for her many missing teeth.
(The detectives in the heavily Hispanic Rampart Division of the Los Angeles
Police Department, which includes the Berendo school, spend inordinate amounts
of time on domestic violence cases.) Though Ghady used to work in a factory on
Broadway in downtown L.A.— often referred to as Little Mexico City—she now
collects $580 in welfare payments and $270 in food stamps for her two
American-born children.
Christian is a husky smart aleck in a big white
T-shirt; his fashionably pomaded hair stands straight up. He goes to school but
doesn’t do homework, he grins; and though he is not in a gang, he says, he has
friends who are. Keeping Ghady and Christian company at the Violence Intervention
Program is Ghady’s grandniece, Carrie, a lively ten-year-old. Carrie lives with
her 26-year-old mother but does not know her father, who also sired her
12-year-old brother. Her five-year-old brother has a different father.
Yet for all these markers of social dysfunction,
fatherless Hispanic families differ from the black underclass in one
significant area: many of the mothers and the absent fathers work, even despite
growing welfare use. The former boyfriend of Jessica, the 18-year-old mother at
the Hillview Acres foster home, works in construction and moonlights on
insulation jobs; whether he still deals drugs is unknown. Jessica is postponing
joining her father in Texas until she finishes high school, because once she
moves in with him, she will feel obligated to get a job to help the family
finances. The mother of Hillview’s 14-year-old Irene used to fix soda machines
in Anaheim, California, though she got fired because she was lazy, Irene says.
Now, under court compulsion, she works in a Lunchables factory in Santa Ana, a
condition of getting her children back from foster care. The 18-year-old
Lothario and father of two, whom Planned Parenthood’s Jason Warner is trying to
counsel, works at a pet store. The mother of Carrie, the vivacious ten-year-old
sitting in on Berendo Middle School’s Violence Intervention Program, makes
pizza at a Papa John’s pizza outlet.
How these two value systems—a lingering work ethic
and underclass mating norms—will interact in the future is anyone’s guess.
Orange County sheriff’s deputy Montoya says that the older Hispanic
generation’s work ethic is fast disappearing among the gangbanging youngsters
whom he sees. “Now, it’s all about fast money, drugs, and sex.” It may be that
the willingness to work will plummet along with marriage rates, leading to even
greater social problems than are now rife among Hispanics. Or it may be that
the two contrasting practices will remain on parallel tracks, creating a new
kind of underclass: a culture that tolerates free-floating men who impregnate
women and leave, like the vast majority of black men, yet who still labor in
the noncriminal economy. The question is whether, if the disposition to work
remains relatively strong, a working parent will inoculate his or her
illegitimate children against the worst degradations that plague black ghettos.
From an intellectual standpoint, this is a
fascinating social experiment, one that academicians are—predictably—not
attuned to. But the consequences will be more than intellectual: they may
severely strain the social fabric. Nevertheless, it is an experiment that we
seem destined to see to its end. Tisha Roberts, a supervisor at an Orange
County, California, institution that assists children in foster care, has given
up hope that the illegitimacy rate will taper off. “It’s going to continue to
grow,” she says, “until we can put birth control in the water.”

IMMIGRATION BILL TO BRING IN AT LEAST 33 MILLION PEOPLE IN
ONE DECADE
By Frosty Wooldridge
April 30, 2013
NewsWithViews.com
If the S744 amnesty bill passes, we
can expect 33 million added immigrants within 10 years. That’s for starters.
When you add their progeny, chain migration and our own population momentum of
one million annually, we face the most profound explosion of humanity within
our borders ever in the history of humanity.
It’s the equivalent of adding one additional
New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San
Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Austin, San Francisco,
Columbus, Fort Worth, Charlotte, Detroit, El Paso, Memphis and Boston. If the
bill passed, it would be the same as adding ALL of the Top 20 cities in the
United States in a short 10 years. That of course does not include additional
population growth driven by birth rates.
“The pending Senate immigration
bill would bring a minimum of 33 million people into the country during its
first decade of operation,” said Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.org. “By
2024, the inflow would include an estimated 9.2 million illegal immigrants,
plus 2.5 million illegals who arrived as children — dubbed ‘Dreamers’ — plus
roughly 3.4 million company-sponsored employees with university degrees, said
the unreleased analysis.
“The majority of the inflow, or
roughly 17 million people, would consist of family members of illegals, recent
immigrants and of company-sponsored workers. The estimate is likely the first
of several that will be produced by advocates as the Senate grapples with the
immigration bill developed by the “Gang of Eight” senators.
“The 844-page bill was released
last week, and was scheduled for debate and amendment in the Senate’s judiciary
committee starting April 25. However, the amendment process was held up for a
week by Republican Senators. Advocates for the bill have yet to release any
estimates of the future inflow.”
“Nobody has a number that is based
on the bill right now that’s accurate,” Lynn Tramonte, deputy director of the
pro-immigration America’s Voice Education Fund, told the Christian Science
Monitor in an April 25 article. “It’ll take a bit more [analysis] to get a
specific number about how things will change.”
“An April 20-22 Fox News poll of
1,009 registered voters showed that 55 percent of respondents want a reduction
in the current number of legal immigrants,” said Beck. “Currently, the country
accepts 1 million immigrants and 700,000 temporary company-sponsored workers
each year. The bill would boost that to roughly 3 million immigrants and 1
million company-sponsored workers per year. Forty-five percent of non-whites,
53 percent of independents and 62 percent of people without college degrees,
favor a reduction in legal immigrants. Only 18 percent of Republicans and 29
percent of independents favor an increase in legal immigration, the Fox poll
reported.”
The current population of the
United States is 316 million. That estimate includes 40 million immigrants,
both legal and illegal. Opponents of the immigration bill are already
highlighting the potentially large inflow.
“I believe the interest that needs
to be protected is the national interest of the United States, and that
includes existing workers today, workers whose wages have been pulled down,
without doubt, by a large flow of low-wage labor into the country,” Alabama
Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions said during one of three hearings on the pending
bill. “This bill would continue that in a way that’s very disturbing to me.”
Beck said, “Estimates of a 33
million inflow are conservative … [because they do] not attempt to project
increases in these categories that are certain to occur in future years,” once
many of the new immigrants seek green cards for their overseas relatives. Also,
some categories of immigrants are uncapped, and the analysis does not attempt
to project increases in these [family unification] categories that are certain
to occur in future years.
“The pending bill allows illegal
immigrants to bring their overseas spouses and children into the country. If
that provision is implemented, it could more than double the [illegal immigrant
inflow] number shown in the chart, bringing the total inflow to 40 million by
2024.”
The analysis shows an inflow of
roughly 3.4 million university trained immigrants. That estimate does not
include graduates who get green cards under the family unification route, or
the uncapped inflow of doctors and PhD-carrying scientists. Roughly 1.8 million
Americans graduate from college each year, including 300,000 with degrees in
science and engineering. Population-growth forecasts will also contribute to
the emerging fight over the bill’s cost, because the award of a green card — or
the right to live in the United States — confers access to some government
benefits.
“It is important to note here that
each of the individuals represented in this chart becomes eligible for
Obamacare on the day a green card is issued,” said Beck. “Most of those on the
chart will then have to wait five years before they become eligible for all US
welfare benefits … [but some] will actually become eligible for welfare
immediately upon being issued a green card.” Enrollment in Obamacare is expected
to spike the cost of the immigration bill, partly because federal subsidies are
used to offset the annual Obamacare cost of $20,000 for a family of four. All
totaled, The Heritage Foundation estimate the total cost of this amnesty from a
low of $3 trillion to as high as $5 trillion.

Stepfather of '9-Year-Old' Girl Who Gave Birth
Admits to Fathering Baby
on
February 15, 2013 at 12:33 PM
The
9-year-old girl who allegedly gave birth last month in a Mexican
hospital may not be as young as originally reported. After authorities dug a little
deeper, it's now believed Dafne is at least 12 or 13, or even
as "old" as 15, says one doctor.
It was
Dafne's mother who first claimed her daughter was impregnated when she was
8-years-old by her 17-year-old boyfriend, but it's becoming more and more clear
that may not be the case. The mother's husband, Dafne's 44-year-old stepfather,
has admitted to having sex with the girl on a couple of occasions and
has revealed he's the father of her child.
He's now in police custody and will be charged with child
molestation for the alleged rape of his step-daughter.
The circumstances under which Dafne's birth certificate
were obtained are shady -- her mother filed for one in 2011, claiming Dafne was
born in 2003, making her 9. The validity of that claim is still under
investigation.
Dafne's story continues to get sadder, though, believe it
or not. Neighbors told MailOnline that Dafne's mother may have lied
about her daughter's age for two reasons: One, because Dafne was never in
school, and her mother wanted to enroll her daughter for the first time -- a
feat more likely accomplished if her daughter was 8 or 9.
Or two, because Dafne's mother, an alleged prostitute,
wanted to sell her daughter as a 9-year-old in the sex trade and was motivated
to shave off a few years since, apparently, there's a bigger prize for girls
younger than 12 or 13-years-old.
Anyone else sick to their stomach right now?
To say Dafne's story is heartbreaking or gut-wrenching
is an understatement. Even though she may not have been 8 when she was
impregnated, is 12 or 13 any better? Doctor's still deemed her body too young
to handle a vaginal birth and had to perform a C-section. This girl was still,
in fact, a child, no matter how you calculate it.
It's hard to find a silver lining to this story, but I
suppose the fact that the stepfather is behind bars is a small one, and the
fact that international light has been shed on Dafne's story is perhaps a
slightly bigger one.
Because the more people invested in learning more about
what happened and how to consequently keep this child who had a child safe from
further abuse and danger, the better.
Do you think it makes a difference whether she's 9 or 12?

AMERICA’S OCCUPIERS?
THE LA RAZA
“THE RACE” INVADERS:
AMERICA vs MEXICO:
CLASHING CULTURES
By
Frosty Wooldridge
Anyone understand why Mexicans fail
at a successful culture? Ever wonder why millions of them invade the United
States in search of a better life? Have you noticed that once they arrive, they
create the same kind of ‘society’ in the United States?
Unconsciously, they create the same conditions they left behind. You can take
the boy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. For
example, in Denver in December, illegal alien Navi dragged his girlfriend to
death behind his car. Illegal alien Cruz shot his girlfriend dead in the back
because she wouldn’t reconcile with him. Illegal alien Ruizz ran over and
killed Justin Goodman, but Ruizz drove away from the scene leaving Goodman to
die. In Greeley, Colorado they suffered 270 hit and run accidents in one year.
Over 80 percent of hit and run wrecks in Denver involve illegal aliens. Denver
boasts the drug smuggling capital of the West as well as the people smuggling
mecca of the country. Illegals cheat, distribute drugs, lie,
forge documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal way of life. For them, it
is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to America’s culture. Both
countries manifest different ways of thinking and operating. With George Bush’s
push to create the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” by
dissolving our borders with Mexico, he places all Americans at risk. Would you
become friends with neighbors who throw their trash on city streets and parks,
create ghettoes wherever they enclave their numbers, promote corruption, deal
in violence, encourage drug use, manifest poverty, endorse exism and downgrade
education? America’s culture and Mexico ’s culture remain diametrically opposed
to one another. America’s fought Mexico and won. Today, Mexico invades America
with sheer numbers of poor. However, cultures rarely change and neither do
their people. As you can see from the ten points below, everything about Mexico
degrades everything about America. For further information, you may visit www.immigrationshumancost.org
and www.limitstogrowth.org where you will find a plethora of information by a
brilliant journalist Brenda Walker. Her original report may be viewed on
www.Vdare.com on January 17, 2007 under the title: “Ten Reasons Why America
Should Not Marry Mexico.” I suggest you read more of her work. She exemplifies
incisive, sobering and shocking information. These ten point stem directly from
Brenda Walker’s work. Let’s examine why America must not entangle itself by
merging with Mexico. The legal age of sexual
consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and younger is
socially acceptable in Mexico. For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez pleaded
guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia. His
excuse: sex with young girls was common with his people. He said, “I was
unaware that it was a crime.” Mexicans remain the most sexist males next to
Islamic men. Both boast the most misogynous cultures in the world. Rape and
other violence toward women are not treated as serious crimes. In Mexico, a
custom known as “rapto” whereby men kidnap women for sex is regarded as
harmless amusement. Mexican society regards women little more than objects.
Crime and violence remain mainstays of Mexican culture. Drug cartels and the Mexican army coordinate their
massive efforts to promote drug distribution not only in Mexico but into the
USA. Mexico City suffers the second highest crime rate in Latin America.
Kidnapping remains second only to Columbia for ransom money. Beheadings,
killings and gun fire erupt at drug distribution points on the US/Mexican
border. Spontaneous hanging continues in Mexico. A mob beat up and burned to
death two policemen on live television in 2004 in Mexico City. As Brenda Walker
wrote, “Mexicans do not have the same belief as Americans that the law is
central to the equitable functioning of a complex nation. It’s the Third
World.” Mexicans abhor education. In their country, illiteracy dominates. As
they arrive in our country, only 9.6 percent of fourth generation Mexicans earn
a high school diploma. Mexico does not promote educational values. This makes
them the least educated of any Americans or immigrants. The rate of illiteracy
in Mexico stands at 63 percent. Drunk driving remains acceptable in Mexico. As
it stands, 44,000 Americans die on our nation’s highways annually. Half that
number stems from drunken drivers. U.S. Congressman Steve King reports that
13 American suffer death from drunken driving Mexicans each day. Alcoholism
runs rampant in Mexican culture. They suffer the most DUI arrests. Mexicans set
the benchmark for animal cruelty. Mexicans love dog fighting, bullfighting,
cock fighting and horse tripping. Those blood sports play in every arena and
backyard in Mexico. They expand into America as more Mexicans arrive. They also
engage in “steer-tailing” where the rider yanks the animal’s tail in an attempt
to flip it to the ground. In horse tripping, they run the animals at full
gallop around a ring, then, use ropes to trip them at full speed. It’s a death
sentence as the horses break their legs, teeth, shoulders and necks—all to the
delight of the cheering Mexican fans. As La Raza confirms, Mexicans
maintain the most racist society in North America . “For the Hispanic race,
everything; for anyone outside the race, nothing!” Guadalupe Loaeza, a
journalist, said, “Mexican society is fundamentally racist and classist. The
color of your skin is a key that either opens or shuts doors. The lighter your
skin, the more doors open to you.” Corruption becomes a mechanism by which
Mexico operates. Corruption remains systemic. The Washington Post wrote,
“Mexico is considered one of the most corrupt countries in the hemisphere.”
They feature drug cartels, sex slave trade, people smuggling, car theft
cartels, real estate scam cartels, murder for money and, you must bribe your
mail man to get your mail. Last, but not least, Mexicans are Marxists. They
promote a one party government. As with any kind of Marxism, brutal
totalitarian rule keeps the rich in power and everyone else subservient. As we
allow millions of Mexicans to colonize our country, we can’t help but be caught
up in these ten deadly cultural traits of Mexicans. With over 12 million
Mexicans here today, the predictions grow to as many as 20 even 40 million
Mexicans in a few decades as they come here for a better life. The fact
remains, as they come to America for a better life, they make our lives a
living hell.
THE
AGENDA IS MEXICAN SUPREMACY!
The National Council of La Raza
(NCLR) is not only one of the
wealthiest and most politically powerful militant
organizations in
the country, it is also notoriously racist and subversive. The
group's name, "La Raza," means "The Race," by which they
are
referring to ethnic Mexicans, or more broadly to "hispanics" or
"latinos." And it is quite clear from their decades of vitriolic
rhetoric — both spoken and written — that the La Raza activists
are trying to engender not
only race consciousness amongst
hispanic U.S. citizens and Mexican migrants,
but also racial
militancy and animosity toward "Gringo America."
FIFTEEN
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE” and the LA RAZA DEMS’ PUSH TO
EXPAND MEX SUPREMACY TO BUY THE
ILLEGALS’ VOTES:
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a group called "The
Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity
chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in
redefining all opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and
John McCain will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the
National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for,
yes, "The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage
to a group of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The
presidential candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as
a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant
bigots. The unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist
outfit that abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our
sovereignty.
*
Here are 15 things you should know about "The
Race":
*
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for
illegal aliens.
*
14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts
for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens
and law-abiding legal immigrants.
*
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes cooperative
immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal authorities.
*
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the
southern border.
*
11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds
from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and
to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
*
10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's
tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal
aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal
cooperation and information sharing.
*
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders,
anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's
bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
*
8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense
voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."
*
7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11
national security measures at every turn.
*
6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary
Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to
Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S.
English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to
preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.
"The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised
the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding
the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
*
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a
poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP
Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical
racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has
permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a
racist nation out of the American West."
*
4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear
campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV
and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the
airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up
their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president
Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated,
even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."
*
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist
charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in
federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz.,
the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in
St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose
principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain,
we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain
in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White
way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually
lead to our own destruction."
*
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC
shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan
standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage
counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and
partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
*
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and
the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor
Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The
National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the
contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the
meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's precisely why we
don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would
not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."
*
The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La
Raza.
*
“Wherever there’s a
Mexican, there is Mexico!”... President Calderone. As an American living under
Spanish speaking Mexican occupation, I would add to this “Where there’s a
Mexican, there’s a violent Mexican gang!”
Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General We are
practicing "La Reconquista" in California."

“In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared that
the vast majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a
country saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly treated
while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact, racism as
workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the illegal alien
Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually strictly Latino,
excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION TO DOUBLE from ILLEGALS along with their CRIME RATES!
CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION TO DOUBLE from ILLEGALS along with their CRIME RATES!
Times Staff Writers
July 10, 2007
Over the next half-century, California's population will explode by nearly 75%, and Riverside will surpass its bigger neighbors to become the second most populous county after Los Angeles, according to state Department of Finance projections released Monday. California will near the 60-million mark in 2050, the study found, raising questions about how the state will look and function and where all the people and their cars will go. Dueling visions pit the iconic California building block of ranch house, big yard and two-car garage against more dense, high-rise development. But whether sprawl or skyscrapers win the day, the Golden State will probably be a far different and more complex place than it is today, as people live longer and Latinos become the dominant ethnic group, eclipsing all others combined. Some critics forecast disaster if gridlock and environmental impacts are not averted. Others see a possible economic boon, particularly for retailers and service industries with an eye on the state as a burgeoning market. "It's opportunity with baggage," said Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., in "a country masquerading as a state. "Other demographers argue that the huge population increase the state predicts will occur only if officials complete major improvements to roads and other public infrastructure. Without that investment, they say, some Californians would flee the state. If the finance department's calculations hold, California's population will rise from 34.1 million in 2000 to 59.5 million at the mid-century point, about the same number of people as Italy has today. And its projected growth rate in those 50 years will outstrip the national rate — nearly 75% compared with less than 50% projected by the federal government. That could translate to increased political clout in Washington, D.C. Southern California's population is projected to grow at a rate of more than 60%, according to the new state figures, reaching 31.6 million by mid-century. That's an increase of 12.1 million over just seven counties. L.A. County alone will top 13 million by 2050, an increase of almost 3.5 million residents. And Riverside County — long among the fastest-growing in the state — will triple in population to 4.7 million by mid-century. Riverside County will add 3.1 million people, according to the new state figures, eclipsing Orange and San Diego to become the second most populous in the state. With less expensive housing than the coast, Riverside County has grown by more than 472,000 residents since 2000, according to state estimates. No matter how much local governments build in the way of public works and how many new jobs are attracted to the region — minimizing the need for long commutes — Housing figures that growth will still overwhelm the area's roads. USC Professor Genevieve Giuliano, an expert on land use and transportation, would probably agree. Such massive growth, if it occurs, she said, will require huge investment in the state's highways, schools, and energy and sewer systems at a "very formidable cost."If those things aren't built, Giuliano questioned whether the projected population increases will occur. "Sooner or later, the region will not be competitive and the growth is not going to happen," she said.If major problems like traffic congestion and housing costs aren't addressed, Giuliano warned, the middle class is going to exit California, leaving behind very high-income and very low-income residents. "It's a political question," said Martin Wachs, a transportation expert at the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica. "Do we have the will, the consensus, the willingness to pay? If we did, I think we could manage the growth. "The numbers released Monday underscore most demographers' view that the state's population is pushing east, from both Los Angeles and the Bay Area, to counties such as Riverside and San Bernardino as well as half a dozen or so smaller Central Valley counties. Sutter County, for example, is expected to be the fastest-growing on a percentage basis between 2000 and 2050, jumping 255% to a population of 282,894 , the state said. Kern County is expected to see its population more than triple to 2.1 million by mid-century. In Southern California, San Diego County is projected to grow by almost 1.7 million residents and Orange County by 1.1 million. Even Ventura County — where voters have imposed some limits on urban sprawl — will see its population jump 62% to more than 1.2 million if the projections hold.

of California's growth will be in the Latino population, said
Dowell Myers, a professor of urban planning and demography
at USC, adding that "68% of the growth this decade will be
Latino, 75% next and 80% after that."That should be a wake-up call for voting Californians, Myers said, pointing out a critical disparity. Though the state's growth is young and Latino, the majority of voters will be older and white — at least for the next decade." The future of the state is Latino growth," Myers said. "We'd sure better invest in them and get them up to speed. Older white voters don't see it that way. They don't realize that someone has to replace them in the work force, pay for their benefits and buy their house."
