which was the appropriateness of producing offspring one could not support.

Yes, I saw that and did reply to it. And my reply also had nothing to do with Mexicans per se. I noted that there is a very well documented correlation between poverty and reproduction, i.e. that many people who can't afford them, have too many kids. So I simply agreed it is a problem. This is the classic 3rd world problem. I grew up in Africa. I saw plenty of it.

What did you want me to say? I can't cure the problem and neither can you. What does cure the problem is slowly as people become more middle-class, their birthrates decline. Again, this is very well known, so why am I pointing it out to you? I did note that this dynamic is clearly seen in the Hispanics in my own town. The next generation has lower birthrates. No surprise.
