You're clinching shit in your skull pretending it's a brain.
You are stupid. It's cheap.
Also, Mexican per capita PPP (if you even know what that is) is about $23K, while it is about $80K in America. And if you answer with that the cost of living is lower in Mexico, this it shows that you don't know what PPP is or that it was made to already consider cost of living.
You article specifically states that Americans going to Mexico for dentistry do it because it's cheap, not because it's better or the same. I do have confidence that they can do routine procedures well, since they do them all day long and would be killed by angry customers if they messed up. But that's the same for all countries with a functioning government. Dentistry skill is the hard power of the dentist.
First, I already showed that about 600K in 1.6M are Mexican. Secondly it doesn't matter. I didn't pick Mexico to shit on Mexico. I chose Mexico as just an example of people being attracted to American hard economic power. No matter who they were, from Colombia, Ecquador, Costa Rica, Honduras, my point is still proven that people come for economic reasons, not soft power.
No, they answered "Economic reasons," not fleeing from the law. Literacy is a requirement for debate.
No, FDI increase is not the point at all. FDI increases can be for any country with good prospects, but still far away from having the economy and quality of life of a developed advanced economy.
Paying money to hire air traffic controllers is not soft power. Your main problem is that you don't know what soft power is at all, and you obviously have no idea what qualifications a country needs to be considered powerful or competent.
An air traffic controller costs 37K MXN or $2,100 USD per month in Mexico. Any Walmart costs more to run.
You ask me for data when I say something but you make up random nonsense like this?
I got the idea from the fact that Mexicans max out the US quota every year and the ones that don't get a spot try to enter illegally against American armed border patrol.
Vacation =/= work/immigration.
Economic strength is hard power. Lower debt does not indicate strength if comparing to a much larger economy by nominal and PPP measures.
Ahhhh, that's right. The mightiest power next door. That's the point. The hard economic power disparity is what's causing Mexicans to go to America.
No, you think before you speak, if you're capable. Because I already said that Mexico is not the point. I just picked a situation where hard power disparity causes immigration and that's all there is to it. I don't hate Mexico and I don't think it is a shitty country in the world. Because you lost track of the conversation, you thought my point was to shit on Mexico when it is to demonstrate hard power over soft power in immigration.
Again?
""The number of Mexican immigrants with a bachelor’s degree or higher grew from 269,000 in 2000 to 678,000 in 2017""
That's a very unique definition of "strong" used by nobody except you.
Tripled the numbers. Whatever they majored in, bachelor's degree is generally skill labor. Here's for tech:
You ask for numbers increasing, and I show you they almost tripled. Then you say it's a drop in the bucket... at 5%. You're just making up what that means. As long as more than 50% of Mexicans are in Mexico, you can claim some bullshit about drop in the bucket.
I understand it's theory but it has no results. You can say anybody has or doesn't have soft power because you have no definition of it, neither can you show what the "soft power" brought them. They have nothing to show for their imaginary "soft power" except more imaginary "soft power."
European heritage? Biden vs Trump? Trump is the one with German heritage.
So in your deranged imagination, what actions/how did Germany influence the US election? How are they controlling NATO/EU? Cus I see them having absolutely no influence, mostly being forced to give up their own things/interests.
They got out-competed by hard cash/subsidies. End of story, no soft power.
Data that Russians died? Go the the Ukraine thread and see how many Russians died. Everybody has a number, but unless that person is a mentally challenged one like you, that number is not 0.
Yeah, cus too many Russians died.
That is true, but it wouldn't have to be if they were strong enough to hold and take more. Lack of hard power is the issue.
No, that's actually done. The useful part, proving that Western banks can't be trusted, is done and the USD is falling in usage. Russia can just finish up and win now if they're capable.
Everything you say is retarded. If I gave that statement to my bank, they would ask what resource management/long term investment plan I'd like during the years I'm institutionalized and require my legal caretaker to sign for me.
