Entry: Jonah Goldberg Takes on Ron Paul Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/jonah_goldberg_takes_on_ron_paul#11699 Post contents: Major Findings in United States Income and Wealth • Per capita income of Hispanics is one half that of non-Hispanic whites, and household net worth is less than one tenth. • Fifty percent of Hispanic households use some form of welfare, the highest rate of any major population group. Crime • Hispanics are 3.3 times more likely to be in prison than whites; they are 4.2 times more likely to be in prison for murder, and 5.8 times more likely to be in prison for felony drug crimes. • Young Hispanics are 19 times more likely than young whites (and slightly more likely than young blacks) to be in youth gangs. Education • Hispanics drop out of high school at three times the white rate and twice the black rate. • Even third-generation Hispanics drop out of school at a higher rate than blacks and are less likely to be college graduates. • From 1992 to 2003, Hispanic illiteracy in English rose from 35 percent to 44 percent. • The average Hispanic 12th-grader reads and does math at the level of the average white 8th-grader. Families and Health • At 43 percent, the Hispanic illegitimacy rate is twice the white rate, and Hispanic women have abortions at 2.7 times the white rate. • Hispanics are three times more likely than whites not to have medical insurance, and die from AIDS and tuberculosis at three times the white rate. • In California, the cost of free medical care for illegal aliens forced 60 hospitals to close between 1993 and 2003. Attitudes • Only 33 percent of citizens of Hispanic origin consider themselves "Americans" first. The rest consider themselves either "Hispanic/Latino" or their former nationality first. http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/january2007/220107mexicans4.jpg Sent at: 2008 07 24
