[b]More Mexicans leave than enter USA in historic shift[/b] Via [url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/11/19/mexicans-returning-home-migration-shift-united-states/76013230/]USA Today[/url] (video in source) ____________________ [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/NTRu4zq.jpg[/img] [i]The Mexican side of the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge, a border bridge that crosses the Rio Grande River linking Hidalgo,Texas, with Reynosa, Mexico, on August 18, 2014.[/i] - - - For the first time in more than four decades, more Mexican immigrants are returning to their home country than coming to the United States, according to a report released Thursday. From 2009 to 2014, an estimated 870,000 Mexicans came to the United States while 1 million returned home, a net loss for the United States of 130,000, according to the report from the Pew Research Center. That historic shift comes at a time when immigration has become a contentious focal point in the 2016 presidential race, as Republicans and Democrats argue over how best to modernize the nation's immigration system. Mark Hugo Lopez, director of Hispanic research at the center, said the net decline in Mexicans was driven by the Great Recession in the United States that made it harder to find jobs, an improving economy in Mexico and tighter border security. In coming years, he said, the number of Mexicans may increase again if the U.S. economy continues to improve. But steady growth of Mexico's economy and tighter controls along the southwest border mean the United States won't see another massive wave of legal and illegal immigration like it did in recent decades, when the number of Mexican-born immigrants ballooned from 3 million to nearly 13 million, he said. "The nature of immigration itself is beginning to change," Lopez said. "It looks like Mexican migration is at an end."[/quote] Pretty interesting.

I guess Trump's wall is so effective it works before even existing.

Wonder how this will affect Trump's platform

[QUOTE=Killer900;49149601]Wonder how this will affect Trump's platform[/QUOTE] He'll just ignore it and pretend that this is still an insanely important issue, as if it were a possible mongol invasion. That or he hardly understands it and thinks hes still right. He seems like a hard headed guy.

[QUOTE=Killer900;49149601]Wonder how this will affect Trump's platform[/QUOTE] None, if anything it only gives republican propaganda to support a republican leader in the polls about what he will do to illegal immigrants. This can be twisted to any republicans better

That or he hardly understands it and thinks hes still right. He seems like a hard headed guy.[/QUOTE] Its not just Mexicans that compose the illegal immigrants. Many of the immigrants make the journey over land from South America and are too poor/illiterate to obtain the paperwork necessary for legal immigration. They hitch rides on cargo trains for the long stretches of travel and often get mugged by the gangs in Mexico (or corrupt cops) on the way over here as well. It's a sad story but there are still plenty of Hispanics making the journey.

[QUOTE=Lium;49149600]I guess Trump's wall is so effective it works before even existing.[/QUOTE] Or maybe its the thought of Trump being able to even run the elections.

[QUOTE=Lium;49149600]I guess Trump's wall is so effective it works before even existing.[/QUOTE] They want to get out while they still can.

Wasn't this a South Park episode?

They're seeing their liberal government that was gonna house them, fail, so they're going back. That's about it.

Won't stop the shift in population. They still have higher birthrates than European Americans..

Quick, secure the boarder so they can't get out!

[QUOTE=Sableye;49149923]Quick, secure the boarder so they can't get out![/QUOTE] That isn't what that is about.

[QUOTE=Ithon;49158156]"I'll build a giant ramp that goes one way" US <| Mexico[/QUOTE] i believe this is the prototype of such a device [t]http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/5092c06beab8eaae7f000017-480/mexico-border-fence-car-stuck.jpeg[/t] one backs their car up the ramp, then opens to back which is filled with people emigrating, and then the car rolls back down to be repossessed by a dealer for future auto sales, meaning the program pays for itself

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;49149886]Won't stop the shift in population. They still have higher birthrates than European Americans..[/QUOTE] Birthrates even out as demographics integrate. It's generally a bad sign when that doesn't happen.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;49157858]Do you legitimately believe this, or is it supposed to be a joke?[/QUOTE] He is SH's resident conservative, so he actually probably does believe it.

trump's an utter cockhead i bet they're leaving cause we're considering electing him

Its most likely because of the economy.

[QUOTE=Swilly;49162136]Its most likely because of the economy.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the Mexican economy has been really developing in recent years, to the point that the benefits of leaving for the US are becoming less attractive.
