Yeah, stupid conservatives have all been like "Single motherhood is bad! Their children grow up crappy!" or something like that while at the same time advocating doing absolutely nothing to deal with the root cause of this problem, which is our current child support laws.

Canada has a very small black population (3-4%, heavily concentrated in Quebec) and they don't have the same racial guilt social phenomenon the US does.
By comparison Canada does have similar issues with its first nations, who are developing similar problems to African Americans (High rate of single parents, massive percentage of children on welfare, etc.), and a tendency for the state to continually throw more money at them due to the narrative.
Money isn't the problem for First Nations
The federal government spends far more money for every aboriginal Canadian than it does on non-aboriginal Canadians.

Thanks for that. Anyway, I'd still like to know why exactly encouraging the underclass to breed less, regardless of which race or ethnicity this underclass belongs to, is a bad idea if a country isn't in a chronic need for more people. Have the more upstanding members of their communities breed more to compensate for this.

Yes, 'absolutely nothing,' except for discouraging extra-marital sex, supporting marriage, discouraging divorce, discouraging welfare reliance, adding work-requirements to welfare, pushing for cutting government redistributionism, supporting faith, fidelity, hard work...
Yeah, nothing at all.
Do you even know what conservatives are? Support for healthy families has been a core part of conservatism since the movement began to form.
Do children raised by single parents but conceived through sperm/egg donation have worse outcomes than children raised by married couples?

Yes.
Humans were created to grow up and be nurtured in a home with both a father and a mother. I respect that some people are forced to try and raise children without a spouse due to various tragedies, but people who treat it as unnecessary and/or to be lightly discarded, they're doing their kids (and themselves) great harm.
Do you have a source for this, please?

The Effects of a Single Parent Home on a Child's Behavior
According to 2012 U.S. Census Bureau information, the number of children reared in single-parent households continues to rise. Children with two parents in the home -- earning two incomes -- tend to have better financial and educational advantages.

Defending eugenics: From cryptic choice to conscious selection
For most of human history children have been a byproduct of sex rather than a conscious choice by parents to create people with traits that they care about. As our understanding of genetics advances along with our ability to control reproduction and manipulate ...

The problem is that this doesn't take into account various confounding variables. For instance, it's possible that parents who are more likely to end up becoming single also have worse genes on average and that it is their passing on these bad genes of theirs to their children that causes their children to underperform--not the fact that their children are raised in single-parent households. This is specifically why I was wondering about children of sperm/egg donors being raised by single parents. At least there there would be a selection for good genes, thus increasing the odds of us being able to see the actual effect of environmental variables/factors in regards to this.
Children from single family households do worse.
Here is the reason why, rasing children is fucking hard, ok? it is fucking hard and it is fucking difficult and there is a reason why we used to have extended families handle this shit. Even with two people its not going to be easy, now try doing that shit on your own.
Of course things are going to go wrong.

No, the problem here is that you've already got your ready-made explanation for things, and you don't want to be confused by the facts.
If we do a deep dive, I'm sure you'd find that children of dilligent, hard-working single parents do better than children of those who aren't. That children of drug addict single parents do worst than those who aren't.
We'd even find that children of high-intelligence parents don't do as badly as those of low-intelligence parents.
But, you'd still find that growing up in a single-parent household is harder and has worse outcomes than those who grow up with both parents.
Your fixation on eugenics is both debilitating to your ability to critically analyze the world around you, and morally disgusting.

If this were true, then you would have to explain why certain communities suddenly gained a sudden mutation for ending up single parents, where it wasn't common before. There are likely certain heritable psychological traits that will increase the chance that an individual ends up single, most of those would decrease the chances that they have children in the first place, which would make a sudden increase in such traits within a population extremely unlikely.
No they get reunited with their husbands.
And I'm assuming his 72 Virgins if applicable.

Not necessarily a father and a mother.
Kids need at least two adults - one of whom really should be along the lines of grandma - because raising a kid is basically a full-time job, we don't instinctively know how to do it, and grandma has already done it.
I want people ro come to America to be Americans, not someone living here but not being American.

People who immigrate to the US aren't Americans when they get here. It takes awhile before they can say that they are American.
