Brown America: 53% of all Hispanic children are born out of wedlock, with no father in the home and many of the moms themselves high school dropouts

In tests of fourth-, eighth- and 12th-graders, Hispanic scores are closer to those of African-American kids than whites and Asians. Their dropout rate matches that of black kids. The majority of Hispanics are among that half of the population that pays no income tax. Hispanics benefit disproportionately from government programs. Government puts their kids in Head Start before pubic school and provides them with Pell grants and student loans after public school. From kindergarten through 12th grade, government educates their kids for free. Government provides them with free or subsidized health care through Medicaid and clinics. Government provides their families with public housing and rent supplements. Government provides the food stamps that feed the family. Government provides them with an annual earned income tax credit, a check just for working. Amnesty for illegal aliens would make millions more Latinos eligible for federal programs in a country sinking in debt and mean millions more Hispanics going to the polls, and millions more coming to America in anticipation of the next amnesty.
