Of course life is much better in Mexico than in Africa, not even close. Could live there but I don't like hot weather, I'm thinking of moving up north...

GDP per capita means nothing, according to the CIA factbook, Equatorial Guinea has a gdp per capita of 36600 USD, but most of the people there don't have access to proper sanitary conditions, they literally live in ****.

Very simple civil wars in Latin America that US and Europe owned vast companies and people want it back. These people migrate to Mexico and offset wages and Mexicans came to the US, later US offset wages and lower it every year. US allowed this to happen, but the wages are relative low now that even US citizens are going to Mexico to afford the cost of living with their pensions along Mexicans.

This is happening the same with the Swiss leaving and retiring in Eastern Europe countries, same to Germany going to Turkey along with the Turkish immigrants.

I suppose it would make since to have a third category characterizing countries that are middle income, but they don't.
They also use second world category. If there's a first world and third world then there's something in the middle. Mexico is a second world country like Russia. Nigeria is a third world country and don't see it changing any time soon. In 2050 Nigeria is more likely to look the same way it does today.
