What people don't understand: mexico's hdi is growing. (middle east, Mexicans, drugs)

[Genealogytime]

In 2006, it was 814, in 2030, it will be 923. Why are people worried about immigration with this info?

Better question: do you think Mexicans will still immigrate to the United States if this was the case, and would the children of the immigrants stay in the United States (even the ones who speak spanish)? Because with all these boomers retiring, well have a labor shortage.

So, I want to hear your guys opinions on this:

Will Mexicans still immigrate? What percent of immigrants will stay?

Will Latinos born here emigrate?

Would this change the drug war?

the border will be scrubbed. we will have a nau.

As conditions in Mexico improve, immigration will decline. Ending the drug war would help a lot.

1. Yes they will. Over 50% will stay.

2. Why would they? Seriously, is this a real question?

3. The War (On Some) Drugs is a joke no matter how we slice it.

Whatever happens, the tires and wheels off my F150 will still get stolen at least once every 2 years...

I was under the impression that many of the current immigrants are from Central America rather than Mexico. I've been hearing that for years, part of the reason so many die of dehydration crossing on foot in the desert - they're not prepared for such a dry climate coming from a tropical one. Of course that was when they actually tried to evade the Border Patrol.

Thank God I don't live where you live! It would cost $2800 to replace the rims and tires on my F350.

There's more middle eastern, Asian, and eastern Europeans walking across as well.

No Politico, Not All Undocumented Immigrants Are Latino

It's been like this for decades.

Much of the improvement is because they flushed their toilet and sent all the poor people to the US.

I've read somewhere, that only 16 percent of Mexicans want to stay permanently. But that probably won't be too noticible, as there are other Latino immigrant groups.
