Myers also cast doubts on the study, noting that the analysis hinges on the assumption that fertility and immigration rates will both remain high. From what I heard an average child birth per woman in Mexico is 2 and a average child birth per woman alien in the US is 5.
The assumption I get is welfare pays enough to have more children.

Yes, the birthrate for Mexican-born women is significantly higher in the United States than it is in Mexico. I call this the cuckoo factor. The cuckoo bird lays its eggs in other birds’ nests and lets those other birds provide for its offspring.

You got that right. It's that those of us that only had as many kids as we could afford and give enough attention to - get to pay for these kids.
