lower GDP per capita does not tell any thing about standard of living. capita is income what about expenses?
A town of poorly paid cheap dentists means nothing; I know of a Mexican town where everyone's teeth are rotted because they only drink coke. Are these related? The link where Mexican caravans cite economic reasons as the number one factor is all inclusive and the final verdict from the horse's mouth.
Mexicans: We want to enter the US for economic reasons. Healthcare and education too.
Low IQ You: No!! You all go for the soft power; Mexico has a better economy and higher standard of living that the US.
you can throw all the links but unless the Mexico population flee to America for 9 to 5 office Jobs. there is no practical difference in standard of living.
You can throw up all the retard logic you want but it's just making people laugh at you. It doesn't mean anything that Mexicans run through armed guards to enter the US for illegal menial labor, it doesn't matter that every Home Depot has Mexicans outside willing to build things for you for $50 a day, but we need to see Mexicans take 9-5 office jobs in order to indicate that the US has a higher standard of living? I'll show you, just scroll down, but is there a second person in the world who agrees with you? Can you cite something where a second person thinks what you think? Cus crazy people don't do that check on themselves.
US-Mexico is world busiest land border.
Because of Mexicans trying to enter the US legally and illegally.
It means Mexico can hire air controllers that are competent and paid enough that can deal with peak season without strikes. It is the diversity of skill set in Mexico population.
The whole country can get together enough money just to hire air controllers... and that's your definition of a competent power??
Also it shows the strength of Mexico Soft Power that despite rising costs American still want to visit.
Hiring air traffic control is now "soft power"? LOLOL
Every country has mismatch of labor and Skills. do you have data they are the best for those jobs or just American employers can find easy to bring them here due to such large hispanic heritage.
In the whole world, whenever you see large groups of people trying to illegally enter another country, it is always from a poor country with a broken economy unable to hire their laborers and give them livable lives into countries that can.
despite Mexico becoming US largest trade partner. They need all those construction workers to built factories there. It show the strength of demographics. GM Mexican plant workers got 26% raise in past 10 months. Which can be record for Manufacturing when you consider strength of Mexican Peso.
That has nothing to do with soft power; it's market economic forces.
US pay is higher but expenses are also higher.
Well, those Mexicans still want to come, even if they need to be smuggled. They worked it out; higher pay, higher expenses in the US is better than what they have in Mexico. That's why "economic reasons" was ranked number 1. Hard for you to accept, right?
there is no way to attract the brightest Mexicans to US.
America's not worried about that. America's worried that too many Mexicans are coming over.
Mexico debt to GDP stay the same post Covid while US took alot more debt. i wonder how many millions of Americans will flee to Mexico if US did not took so much debt. you are making assumptions that only retired American want to stay in Mexico..
I definitely know that the US economy made a lot of bad calls during COVID but Mexican debt is irrelevant. You can wonder how many Americans would have fled to Mexico, but that's an imaginary situation. Americans in Mexico go there for the massive spending power advantage and they get that from either being retired (earned all their money by US standards) or by being sent there by a US company to manage its manufacturing (in which case they'd be getting paid by US standards).
unless we see decrease in Mexico population. 5% is nothing to talk about over 15 years. You simply not appreciating Mexico demographics. Every country has skill mismatch.
Which other country in the world suffers a loss of 5% of its population from immigration?? Only war-torn countries. That's 1 in 20 people gone, and that's with the heaviest immigration enforcement in the world trying to stop it on the American side.
hispanic americans are now such large population that they are bound to attract people for there private business and families. It does not mean they are the best for the jobs. they just easy to know.
Mexicans come here not to only work for other hispancs; they can do that at home or by going south. In America, they work illegally for every business that will hire them, oftentime for below minimum wage.
Best and brightest Mexican stay in Mexico thats why there manufacturing wages has risen so fast.
What data says that? Mexico has absolutely no technological growth to speak of so how do you figure best and brightest? Manufacturing wages rise with global inflation; doesn't take bright people to get that.
Those German understand the skills of the best.
And they're losing them due to economic drain.
you still cannot answer why Mexico software engineers not coming to US. It is a sign of wealthy country.
What data says they're not coming?? You assumed and hope there wouldn't be data to prove you wrong again? LOL
"The number of Mexican immigrants with a bachelor’s degree or higher grew from 269,000 in 2000 to 678,000 in 2017"
you associate money with soft power.
No, I don't. Money is hard economic power. I've said this many times. It's hard to see why you can make this mistake.
I give two countries with similar royal families example that greater money does not translate into soft power.
Because money is hard power but how effectively it is used will determine the amount of hard power it can translate into.
Look around its all German soft power. Its German Soft Power that dictates every thing including US policies and German benefiting in Mexico and Canada.
I'm looking. I don't see it. And you're not showing me anything. You repeat this sentence again and again, "Look at that full head of hair," and you point to a bald man. Germany has never dictated anything to the US, Mexico, or Canada. It asks for things, and often gets rejected. Your last link showed me that Germany asked the US to be more environmentally-friendly and Trump blew coal smoke in Merkel's face. That's Germany's "soft power" compared to American hard power.
That link means literally nothing in this discussion. Canada wants Germany's factory to create Canadian jobs. Germany says Canada needs to offer a really good deal. Canada offers a subsidy. All normal business as usual.
only who lacks Soft Power brings hard power in every discussion.
Only those who want to get things done use hard power. Those who want to waste time and get rejected use "soft power" because they have no hard power. If you can't take it, beg for it. That's what soft power is.
Data that what? Russians died? LOL Data is everywhere; the problem is you have no functioning brain.
No other country can occupy so much area with such force level. That i can assure.
It's not much area and your assurance means nothing. Russians used to occupy more are and then they were beaten into retreat. That's not debatable. If they had greater hard power, Ukraine would have been finished in a month.
Arabs know this thing well as they both funded modern wars in prior decades and are also at receiving end.. They know limitation of each piece of engineering and its maintainability after long term use.
Literally means nothing that is relevent to the discussion.
you just need to read between the lines.
You need to stop making up bullshit and asking for "data" to disprove it:
1. Mexico has a similar standard of living and stronger economy than the US.
2. Germany controls America.
3. Russia meant to drag the war out.
Nobody needs data against this; it's common sense that it's not true. You're an idiot and everything you write is digital retardation.
