If we had 100 million new immigrants, Mexico would be an absolute ghost country. Sometimes people check their logic at the door when they play with numbers.
It wouldbe a lot easier just to make Mexico a state.
Thats what the politicians want anyway.
You forget that Mexico will still be reproducing. We are talking about a 20 year period. Currently there are almost 10 million Mexican-born residents in the US and 4 million in California, according to the 2000 census, which probably underestimates the numbers. Also, remember that only about 60% of the illegals are coming from Mexico.
Mexico has a population growth rate of 1.16% or 2.42 children born per woman [compared to our .91% or 2.09 children per woman.] What makes the Mexican population growth rate so significant is that it has a net migration rate of -4.32 migrants per 1000 [compared to our plus 3.18.] The median age in Mexico is 25.3 compared to our 36.5.
The bottom line is that Mexico won't become "an absolute ghost country." In fact, it will continue to grow faster than the US and be able to supply even more Mexican citizens per year than it does now. Ireland used to do the same thing for decades. It is not a zero sum game, i.e., Mexicans entering the US doesn't lower the overall population, it just slows the overall rate of population increase.
Hello....Rector is talking about immigrants from all over the world, not just Mexico.
