CIDE: Mexico to edge out U.S.

#6  It would be wonderful if Mexico were to grow faster. Their economy would provide more jobs to the citizenry, who wouldn't feel the need to cross the northern border... some up north might even prefer to go back home to better opportunities!

Grow, Mexico, grow!!!

#5  But the levels of education, poverty, corruption still mean that we're talking about completely different universes.

That's their damned problem, and they need to fix it.

#4  The correct terminology is that Mexico's growth rate will edge out that of the U.S.

At 3.4% the U.S. economic growth will be about 40% of Mexico's entire economy.

#2  Hmmm....2 percent of a million is 20K. 3 percent of a thousand is 30. Yep 3 percent certain is bigger than 2 percent.

#1  A healthy economy and growth in Mexico might be the best answer to stemming the flow of illegal immigration in the long-run. But the levels of education, poverty, corruption still mean that we're talking about completely different universes.
