MEXICO CITY – The number of Mexicans leaving their country – almost all for the United States – has reached 400,000 per year and will continue to grow for several more years, the head of Mexico's National Population Council said on Friday.
The increase in migration has coincided with the United States increasing security on its southern border.
"The effort to increase control of the (U.S.) border has not reduced migratory flows one little bit," Council Secretary General Elena Zuniga said. "After 15 years, what we have seen is a growth in migration, and growth in a way that is much less safe."
She said increased border controls have largely served to help fuel growth in migrant trafficking organizations.
The migration is fueled mainly by demographic pressure and a lack of jobs in Mexico, Zuniga said. It will eventually turn downward when those pressures ease, mainly through economic growth and reduced birthrates, she said.
"We predict that we will not be able to sustain the growth in migration," because of a drop in birth rates here, she said.

Yes, I do blame W.
Remington Arms stock just went up 10 points
Ya know this sounds like a threat to me. I don't like threats and I suspect a lot of others might not either. Maybe if a few of em get sent back in bad condition they might decide it is not worth the risk.
Mexican birthrates have not dropped even slightly. It is just that most of the Mexican women of child bearing age are here dropping anchor babies.

MIGRATION!?!?
And everyone before him that didn't send them back.
Ducks migrate; this is an invasion.
So let me get this straight, if we loosen border controls, migrant traffic will decrease?

A nation unwilling to defend itself is a nation that is dead.
Someone has just promised that millions of people from his country will invade a neighboring country. Our response? Well, it made the papers.
I have this vision that one day the people of Tuscon will wake up and find that they are now living in Alta Mexico, I-10 is lined with Federales, and the president will respond with vague platitudes in Spanish about balancing out the flaws in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The reconquista will have been accomplished without a gunshot. Of course, Mexico welcomes its new Anglo citizens, since their property is about to be seized. Adios, amigos.
Lets see, we are well aquainted with the heavy negative impact of the illegal aliens on the United States. And we are supposed to believe that "In some places, they've stopped working the land, and live off the money (remittances)," is the corresponding and balancing "negative" on the other side of the equation?
Doesn't look like much of a balancing negative to me.
Ok. We have been warned! NOW FRIGGIN' DO SOMETHING!
