I still see millions of them living and working here.
Left unanswered was why, if the high birth rate was so healthy economically for Mexico - they had to export so many of them, and remain mired in poverty?
Are you saying that if they stayed and worked in Mexico the economy of Mexico wouldn't be a basket case? That is an interesting argument to make.
But really - the issue is an EXPANDING human population - and it will be for a long time even by your demographic “worst case scenario”.
The children now being born -when they grow up and have children - who then grow up and start having children sometime around 2050 - THEN there might possibly be a problem of a declining human population IF current trends remain consistent for almost 40 YEARS!
So your argument seems 40 years premature - at least.
Until such dubious scenarios as a current trend remaining consistent for 40 years play out - the current debate at hand is about an EXPANDING human population.

Right?
Do you know how long/far it takes to turn an aircraft carrier? And what happens if you wait too long to turn away from underwater obstructions? At that point, no matter what you do, you hit the rocks.
Demographic trends take generations to reverse. It took generations for the fertility rate to get where it is today, and its still collapsing.
It will take generations to turn that around.
Yes. Read up on it.

Your powers of logic and rational thinking are simply underwhelming.

Everyone already knows the answer to that, and it has nothing to do with population and everything to do with fleeing a corrupt government.
Or did you not know about Mexico's dalliances with communism and the drug trade crime and corruption?
