Illegitimacy Rates Surge—Driven By Third World Immigration

“Octomom” Nadya Suleman, whose father is an Iraqi immigrant, received in vitro fertilization and delivered octuplets. Professors of ethics and fertility experts buzz about the negative health consequences for the children and there are many. But what about the social and economic costs of 14 children, all under the age of seven, who must be supported by an unmarried woman?

Even raising one child alone is challenging—and one of Ms Suleman’s older children is autistic. The public, monetary outlays will be immense, but the human costs will also be immense.

Right from the start, babies of single mothers are at a disadvantage. “Fetal and Perinatal Mortality, United States, 2005” from the Center for Disease Control reads:

“In 2005, 49% of fetal deaths were to unmarried women, as compared with 37% of live births. . . .Marital status may be a marker for the presence or absence of social, emotional, and financial resources.”

Poor, fatherless children are less likely to receive proper nutrition, health care and cognitive stimulation. The boys are more likely to commit serious crimes than their peers with a male presence in their lives. The daughters of unmarried women are more likely to be unwed mothers themselves. Archives of literature exist on this topic.

But unfortunately Ms Suleman is just one of the growing numbers of unmarried mothers—and the rising tide of uneducated, Third-World immigrants is a leading cause.
