And nearly 1 in 4 mothers giving birth are immigrants? WTF?
I taught my first high school class back in January of 2008. I had a really pretty and sweet Mexican girl in my class. I guess she was around 15 at the time. She had a baby the next fall and I never saw her on campus again.
I ran into her last year and couldn't recognize her as she had gained a ton of weight. She knew me though and came to say hello. She had four kids and was pregnant with her fifth. She's now, what, 24? 25?
I on the other hand was just getting married in 2008 after going to college and getting my first job. We didn't have our first kid until 2013.
It's now 2017, and we're still debating on whether or not we're ready for our next one. We have almost $30k in the bank and no debt. We'd rather wait on me to get a more secure job with a better future before popping out another kid.
I simply can't fathom how people can just screw and pop out kids without any kind of forward thinking. Further, I don't know how they manage to survive day to day.

Removing those statues in NOLA will help this figure come to balance...

LOL
You just summed up my life as well, and at the same time wrote a summary of the movie "Idiocracy".

because the gov't gives her money for them. i guarandamntee you that if they knew they wouldn't get financial assistance they would not be having all these babies.
Been teaching HS since last year and they're just fricking lazy. One of my girls got pregnant, and rather than being motivated to do better in school so she can go to college and provide for her child, she waltzes into class wearing fricking pajamas and does nothing all period.
