That's pretty evident.
I'd rather Mexico be a viable country and trade partner than one that is practically being subsidized by the United States and dragging us down with them.
Very true mate but you have to rember that alot of hispanics want to regain the forma Mexican territories it has lost to America to either rejoin Mexico or create a new country and with demographic trends I don't see how you will stop them.
I wouldn't say "alot" believe that (I am just guessing though) but there is a determined group that do agree to the whole Aztlan movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztl%C3%A1n#Use_by_the_Chicano_movement
@JadenFrostwolf Whether you like it or not America is already subsidizing Mexico and it's still shit. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/26/us-aid-320-million-mexico-wall-trump-specialists-backfire/97103024/
Yeah.
Well, whether it be from an active coordinated effort or through sheer coincidence, the effect is going to be the same: those states/territories are going to become majority hispanic.
California is leading the way
(into the shitter)
Both demographically and econonically/politically
( i butchered that spelling)
Again, though, that doesn't detract from my point that I'd rather Mexico be a legitimate country with it's own flourishing economy and an actual trade partner and just justifies that desire.
But that's just not gonna happen without massive changes, changes which I don't see as likely to happen 'on their own.'
I would agree with that. They should sink or swim on their own. Unfortunately if they do fail then nothing short of a solid wall from Pacific to Gulf would prevent a tidal wave of people coming north
@JadenFrostwolf The only way that could happen if Mexico had a better population and a homogeneous population.
Mexico is pretty homogeneous, isn't it?
It's a blending of natives and Spanish with a smattering of other groups in small numbers thrown in
But yeah, I think the main reason there has not been a revolution by now is because people can flee into the US. If there is an out from a bad situation, people will take it; though, if someone is cornered and trapped, they will fight or submit, and under such circumstances people will only submit for so long.
For example, there is (or at least was) a small group of blonde haired, blue eyed Mennonites living there
I wasn't aware of the varied ethnicities in Mexico.
I do know that the 'natives' of the land before the Spanish arrived still resided there in small numbers... I think the Aztecs? They were very distinct from the Mexicans because they were far shorter. You could tell them apart just by looking at them.
I didn't know about the other ethnicities, though.
Interesting.
But yeah, I'm fully aware of the racial displacement going on in the SW right now. I grew up in it.
I saw first-hand as neighborhoods turned into ghettos and garbage dumps.
I know detractors will scream, "ANECDOTE!! ANECDOTE!! HISSS!!", but I just don't care. lol
That doesn't mean it's not happening.
I grew up in Chicago and saw the same sort of thing. neighborhoods went through cycles-nice neighborhoods turned bad and some bad neighborhood gentrified and turned around. Chicago might be the one off though. Detroit is the other extreme
I specifically remember my father one day telling me that I'm not allowed to wear red or blue shirts anymore, because I might accidentally catch the attention of the opposite 'gang' and they might think I'm part of their enemy's tribe.
Out of nowhere.
It was an uncommon thing *not* to hear gunshots in the middle of the night where I grew up.
Halsey is on purple dragon
and
Uh oh. lol
it's now OK with ethno nationalism on some level
it's really strange
It's funny how that keeps happening.
I never heard gunshots in the neighborhood I lived in but 2 miles west in the neighborhood that I went to school in there were alot of gangs and they were not shy in making their presence known
I've listened to all sorts of folks argue it
and I never buy into it
