Two hours before Donald Trump was set to take the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City, right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe warmed up the crowd with a shockingly racist performance.

“Where are my proud Latinos at tonight?” Hinchcliffe asked the packed arena, eliciting scattered loud cheers. “You guys see what I mean? [The border’s] wide open. There’s so many of them.”

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too,” he added. “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside just like they did to our country.”

The crowd groaned and cheered as Hinchcliffe continued, saying, “Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor.”

    There’s also the well documented effect that more educated people just have less kids in general, and it seems to hold for every country.

      I imagine the difference is a between “why” and “why not”.

      A generally educated couple might encounter the question of “Is there I reason why I should have kids?”, decide “yes, because I’d like to”, and have 1-3 kids. More poorly educated couples encounter the question “is there a reason why I should not have kids?”, decide “no”, and have 2-3 more.
