Then they are probably mistaking their affluence with good parenting then.

More affluent parents have less kids. They have more resources. You have more resources going into less children and it is almost a matter of math.

Of course free will and self-determination matter, which is how cycles of poverty are broken or entered into.

I love my kids but I have no doubt I fall short. In fact I've neglected them and every other area of my life for the past five years to finish college. It was this or another 20 years in the service industry. I feel like I missed a lot. I'm taking my last exam ever today unless I want to get a PhD or Go to law school down the road....and it is a mix of relief and bitterness. I had similar feelings leaving the army.

Really went on a tangent but I have a lot on my mind.

Today is also my second anniversary. A bright light in my world ☺

What is racist about wanting to deport illegal immigrants?

Its the parents. Kids emulate their parents. This is how prejudice happens, because kids don't invent that stuff on their own.

My youngest brother is a freshman in high-school. He's very pro-Trump, and my parents are horrified.

I think there's more to it than parents educating their kids, Trump speaks on a level that resonates with children. His positions are aggressive and easy to understand. Lack of nuance is appealing.

Deporting millions of people just isn't going to happen.

It does more harm than good.

Make them citizens force them to pay taxes.

Improve public K-12 education so we lessen the impact of parents raising shit kids. Improve the amount of opportunity and money people make so they stop being shit parents in general.

Hard things to accomplish but deporting millions of people is impossible.
