Yeah because California/Arizona/New Mexico doesn't have the same problem? Well, where did they fall on this list? Oh that's right the article conveniently didn't provide the list. Remember, it says the national average is 47.8% and Texas is at 52.9%. Is California "not having a problem" at 51.3%? And Texas has like 75% of our border with Mexico and I would venture to guess has by far the most illegal immigrants if you compare those states. |

And your guess would be by far wrong. http://www.statemaster.com/graph/peo_est_n...egal-immigrants California has twice the number of illegal immigrants. However, both states have approximately the same pregnancy rates from data I've read from Google research. That would suggest that there is not a strong correlation between illegal immigrants and teen pregnancy rates. -------------------- ![]() |

That would suggest that there is not a strong correlation between illegal immigrants and teen pregnancy rates. 1. You're looking at totals, not percentages. California has a higher overall population than Texas. 2. Your source is 8 years old dude. The page says 7 million total, and the estimated total right now is something like 13 million. 3. And I'm still waiting on the full list of % of pregnancies. Hell how about just the top 10? |
