Also, dramatic rise in single hispanic women giving birth.

quote:


Immigrants account for a large share of births in the United States. Almost one in four births (22.6 percent) in 2015 were to foreign-born mothers. As recently as 1990 it was just 7.9 percent. As a share of all births, the figure for 2015 may be the in highest American history. In 1910, the last peak in immigration, immigrants accounted for 21.9 percent of births...

Combining data by marital status with education provides an important perspective on the challenges children born to immigrant mothers may face. There is good evidence that children born to unmarried parents are at higher risk of dropping out of high school, having run-ins with the law, and other negative social outcomes. This maybe especially true for children born to immigrants because of the challenges associated with adjusting to life in their parents' adopted country. Traditionally, immigrants have relied on strong families to navigate life in a new land. The educational attainment of parents is also a good predictor of a child's likely educational level and other socio- economic outcomes later in life.


Best news all day if you are a democrat. Growing up poor with only one parent is probably the most correlated variable with voting intentions.

Being a white male from the south is also a solid indicator.

That is some impressive progress for The Dems. The Plantation just got a little more crowded.

That's terrible, and why the black community has no hope of actual progress for at least a couple generations.

Think about that....generations. And it's only going to continue to deteriorate before it gets any better.



And to think that it's all my fault as a conservative heterosexual Christian white male

Many factors contribute to this, but it always boils down to sin. People need to see that their actions are destructive to themselves and to others. Repentance and faith in Christ is the only hope there is.

It's also correlated to achievement.

Honest question. Did Obama ever address this? He has probably the most influence on black people ever and his opinion might have made a difference

And nearly 1 in 4 mothers giving birth are immigrants? WTF?

To be fair there's a difference between being an unmarried mother and a truly single mother.

This article says more about blacks not marrying than it does about their children.

BLM would get so much positive press if tried to address this rather than propping up someone like AltonSterling

It will drop back down to 77% now that Alton has been removed from the equation.

I did a little research, and this data comes from the Center for Immigration Studies. There is some controversy about that group, just so everyone is aware.

Not that the numbers aren't true.. but you all should be fully aware of the source and draw your own conclusions.
