None of the coutries that you mentioned but Cuba and Puerto Rico are losing population.
Several of these ones are indeed growing very slowly (eg. Uruguay) and likely to go in reversal in the future, but not yet. Anyway, I suspect that in the long term countries like Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay itself will keep growing due to immigration from poorer and overpopulated regions of the world.
I doubt brazil, argentina will become a hot bed for migrants from other places of the globe
maybe bolivians etc (next door folks)
if you knew demographics you'll know latin america is getting close to europe's we're screwed demographically, even worse because its not fully developed yet and its already aging fast
Countries that will drop in pop will have colour front!

Okay so we have a pretty good idea of the immigration trend for the future. Looks East and West Africa will be providing immigrants to more developed regions. Europe, North America etc.
I doubt brazil, argentina will become a hot bed for migrants from other places of the globe
maybe bolivians etc (next door folks)

Well, I'm not sure I'm the one who should know more about demographics in this discussion, and certainly the *wealthier* countries of Latin America are following Europe's demographic transition. I had put Uruguay as an example of a country whose population may decline in the near future.
I don't expect ABC+Uruguay to receive huge quantities of immigrants, but in a future (2040s, 2050s) where those countries remain with relatively low population density compared to most of the world, some development, geographic adventages provided by both previous points, and maybe increasing social conflicts regarding immigration in the first world (especially Europe), may put these countries as a desirable destination for new waves of emigrants within an even more globalized world.
This is nonsense, it's almost impossible to predict demographic changes in the long term, there are so many factors capable to influence birth rates and population change such as wars, epidemies, famines, governmental policies, mass immigration, ecc.
For example, at the turn of the century almost nobody was able to predict the sudden increase of immigration directed to Western European countries.
In the case of China due to the one child policy it's easy to predict a massive demographic decline since the fertility rate is extremely low do to that policy. Add in the extreme pollution in China and estimates showing China to run out of water by 2030 and the population of China could become only a tenth of what it currently is almost 100 years from now.

and that is positive
do we really need BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF MOUTHS TO FEED?
Don't worry, folks, it ain't gonna happen, or if it does happen, it won't be a problem. These projections are based on paradigms with today's technological and philosophical view, which is ridiculously short-sighted.
Go back to 1900, and see what population projections were like for 2000, based on the 1900 view of arable land, infant mortality, blunt-instrument military weaponry, monarchial/colonial institutions, public health, potable water, horse-velocity transport, etc.
How easy it is to assume that intellect has peaked out, and nothing new remains to be applied to the human condition, and from here on everything has straight-line predictability.
How about the decline in European population under legalized same-sex marriage?
We all know same-sex couples don't have kids.
( they want to adopt other people's children though !)
If the homosexual population continues to grow at the expense of traditional marriage how can a population grow? by relying on immigration when anti-immigration demonstrations are being held all other in western countries?
Anyone who is offended by what I said should come forward and demonstrated I'm wrong.
The legalization of same sex marriage has absolutely NO effect on population increase/decrease.
Banning gay marriage, likewise, has no effect on population either. The people who otherwise would be getting married are still gay and very unlikely to reproduce. Either way no one is making more or less babies.
