I thought that was why Californians were importing Mexicans. To have the babies they don’t want to have.
The editors are whistling through the graveyard. Loosing half your students, and replacing taxpayers with charity cases bodes poorly immediately, not down the road.
“I thought that was why Californians were importing Mexicans. To have the babies they don’t want to have.”
With reshoring and NAFTA many Mexicans are moving back to Mexico because the job prospects are improving. The flood of immigrants across the southern border largely consists of people from other Latin countries, Africa and probably others fleeing collapsing economies at home. Those people won’t stay in Mexico because Mexico won’t allow it. But the US does.
The article really doesn’t address that the developed world’s population is declining because citizens of highly industrialized countries tend to have fewer children as each child requires much more investment. Children on a subsistence farm are free labor and you won’t be sending them off to college or subsidizing their first home, etc. It’s not just California with the problem. California’s problem is that their policies have destroyed the infrastructure corporations need to profit so those corporations have moved away, and their worker base went with them. Change the leadership at the top, get rid of the unelected agencies that make anti-business, anti-human regulations and people will flood back to California.
It isn’t Mexicans anymore. Mexico is just their point of entry from all of the garbage dumps in the world.
