IMHO, there is no genetic inferiority of hispanics, rather, one needs to focus on the mainly illegal hispanics that come to America.

Mexico is a highly classist, and racist society, made further stratified and corrupted by decades of statism and socialism.

Mexico’s social-welfare policy simply is to encourage its poorest, least educated, members to go to the United States, to have Uncle Sam take care of them. Therefore, one has to look at the specifics of the group that is arriving.

Imagine if the USA’s policy was to encourage the poorest, least educated residents from our inner cities or poor countryside to go to Mexico?

I'd gladly make the swap; hard working Mexicans for an equal number of criminally inclined, layabout hoodrats.

Some are advocating we send our retirees to S. America and Asia, I'm sure some would agree.

Good point. The wealthy and successful hardly have a strong pull to emigrate!

Both good arguments.

The culture of peasant Mexicans or other Latinos is you can survive with hard work, which they do. Whether that is equally reflected in IQ is a good question, I think it is.

Critical thinking and curiosity are key to success American style and probably the same in upper classes in Latinos. Critical thinking and curiosity are downplayed in peasant culture.

Thank you. For the hundred and first time, there is no such thing as a Hispanic. What you say about Mexico is 100% accurate.

Ha! Fred Reed (fredoneverything.net) discussed this. He said the “average mexican” has no more desire to come to the US for work than the average american has to go to Mexico for work. What we get is the dregs. Those that can’t make it in Mexico come here for the “quick buck”.

On a side note, if I may make a wild generalization, I see mexico as divided into basically two different races: native american (or central american) and European (Spanish). If the US were similar, the native american segment of our population would be a huge percentage of our nation’s demographic.

Again, it is a huge generalization.
