Robert Dunn Jr. (a Professor of Economics at the George Washington University) has a tongue-in-cheek article at TCS Daily titled How the Mexican Immigration Problem Will Solve Itself:
There has been a stunning decline in the fertility rate in Mexico, which means that, in a few years there will not be many teenagers in Mexico looking for work in the United States or anywhere else. If this trend in the fertility rate continues, Mexico will resemble Japan and Italy - rapidly aging populations with too few young workers to support the economy.
Great.
So instead of a bunch of young men jumping the fence from Tijuana who are looking for construction, landscaping, or apple picking jobs (and young women swimming across the Rio Grande at 8 months and 29 days pregnant to ensure that their children are born as U.S citizens — complete with complimentary world-class medical care at the nearest U.S. hospital emergency room to the border)…
Instead of all of these young illegal immigrants that we’re currently inundated by — in another generation or two, we’ll be flooded by old illegal aliens sneaking (albeit a bit more slowly) into our country looking for free handouts from a system that is already inadequate to handle the needs of our own aging population.
You’re worried about our Social Security benefits drying up now? Wait until millions of old illegal Mexicans, adept at identity theft and forged documents, sneak across the border to steal the benefits that you have been working for (legally) your entire life.
Mexican birth rates down
U.S. Mexican Illegal Alien birth rates up
The Numbers add up I’m sure…
This phenomenon is known as ‘Conservation of Mexican’. It’s all the rage at Oxford where leading scientists first published a similar theory, ‘Conservation of Muslim’.
