truth about mexican immigration much to the sadness of la raza is this: it will end within 20 years. 20 years from now not only wil there be no immigration from mexico illegal or otherwise, but there will probably be significant immigration from europe.
In 1970 mexican fertiltiy rate was 7.0
In 1980 it was 5.0
Today it is 2.45 (lower than the US's in 1970)and by 2015 it will be 2.15 (about the same as the US today)
The reason there is such large illegal immigration is that those who are coming were born at a time when the birth rate in mexico was high, it isnt anymore. In 10 years mexico birth rate will be barely above replacement. When today baby in mexico enter the labor force in 20 years, the growth rate of mexico labor force will be 1/2 that of today.
the immigration problem will last another 10-15 years, then it could actually reverse itself.
all the predictions of an america that is 35% hispanic by 2050 arent going to happen, because the immigration trends of the past 10-20 years are going to end.
Besides, second generation so called "Hispanics" have an inter-marriage rate with non-Hispanics of 60%.
By the third generation, just about everybody in America has a "Heinz 57" family.
