As long as you here legally go for it.
Answer by mizzshopper
That's, because the women are submissive in Mexico. Plus Mexicans don't mind having all those millions of babies. I would like to add to my answer. Most Latinos are illegal, many crimes are committed by Latinos, and there are numerous gangs that contain Latinos. What's so great about that?
Answer by *Carnage*
the latinos are also responible for high crime rates in our communities, gang bangers, rapists, child molesters and illegals..........real impressive culture you got there.....
Answer by Be Different!
I am very happy you like Mexico, They NEED people who actually LIKE their country there, because so many of them are unhappy there and want to come here. So... When do you leave? Get a life, and quit being a racist - NOBODY LIKES THEM in this country.

So what is your point? "But with traditional family values stronger among Latinos" That is a load of bullsh!t. You act like latinos are so warm and welcoming. Hispanic men treat their women like crap and don't believe in equality. "America isn't a family friendly society" So I guess the fact that these critters come here illegally and have large litters does in fact mean that we are a family friendly society. "Americans may have a chance....." Oh just stfu already, in hispanic households the fathers are all macho and the mothers are submissive. Also they fact that they reproduce like roaches shows their lack of education and respect for their women. "Viva Mexico" What is their to celebrate? MX is a sh!thole third world country that does not even have clean drinking water. It is filled with corrupt and a backwards culture.

All Kinds Of Country - All Kinds of CountrySpecial guest Pete Sayers joins us this week with his banjo for more toe-tapping country music. Resident artists Madelaine Taylor, Alyson McInnes, Drew Ross and Phil Clarke Jnr also star.
Rosalia Silva came to New York from Mexico with the promise of a good job, her small child in tow. Instead, she was forced into prostitution, trapped in a life of abuse and misery, and she saw no way out. Deeply depressed, she tried to hurt herself and her little boy.
Silva was arrested on assault charges and jailed, and later institutionalized while her son, Francisco, lived with foster parents for nearly five years. But then Silva was accepted into Drew House, a program for mothers that allows them to live with their children in a private apartment instead of prison while they serve out court mandates.
"Here we have our own place, said Silva, 36. "It's a place we can call home, a place we feel safe. It's a place where we can get to know each other again."
It's apparently the only program like it in the country â" and has been lauded as a successful, more supportive and cheaper alternative to prison. But space is running out at the house, and prosecutors and program leaders say the effort needs funding in order to grow.

Silva and four other mothers live in the unmarked apartment building in Brooklyn, all sent there for felony offenses. Some involve drugs, others weapons, and still others more violent crime. Eligible women are flagged by Brooklyn prosecutors and defense attorneys. In order to live there, women must be homeless, have minor children, and have pleaded guilty to a felony. The charges are dropped if they complete the court-ordered requirements, but if they break the law or don't follow through, they get the maximum sentence.
"They want us to succeed," Silva said of the program leaders. "They help us to stay on the path."
The women are largely independent except for a curfew and sign-in requirements. Mothers attend parenting classes, job training and therapy. Their children go to school and receive medical care and tutoring â" and are given a sense of stability and safety.
The four-story maroon building was bustling on a recent school day. A handful of small children in yellow and blue uniforms tumbled into the ground floor office, plopped down backpacks and said hello to the house manager.
The kids raced to the backyard to play on the swing set near a garden of herbs and vegetables, tossing a basketball, and trying to be gentle with a small tabby cat that's taken up residence. Some of the moms joked nearby.
Rita Zimmer, the founder of Housing Plus Solutions, the nonprofit that runs the program, said it costs $ 34,000 annually to house a woman and her children at Drew House. It costs nearly four times as much to incarcerate a woman and put her children in foster care.
Some prisons allow women to keep their infants with them, and some drug treatment programs allow children, but no other program allows women arrested on other felonies to live with their children instead of prison.
The idea came from prosecutors working with Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes and took nearly a decade to get off the ground, until Zimmer came on board. The house opened in 2008, and was named for Hynes' mother, a victim of domestic violence.
"There's just a lot more to public safety than locking people up," Hynes said.
