While non-white births now outnumber white births in the US, the original statement that 50% of births in the US are to unwed latina mothers is nowhere near true. Latino account for about 25% of all births in this country.
In 2009 there were 4.1 million births. 2.2 million of them were white. 999K were hispanic and 609k were black with the rest split among the remaining races.
Also, from 1991 to 2011, according to the CDC the birthrate among hispanics has actually declined by about 50%.
