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 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.
Because of Mexicans trying to enter the US legally and illegally.
The whole country can get together enough money just to hire air controllers... and that's your definition of a competent power??
Hiring air traffic control is now "soft power"? LOLOL
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.
That has nothing to do with soft power; it's market economic forces.
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?
America's not worried about that. America's worried that too many Mexicans are coming over.
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).
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.
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.
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.
And they're losing them due to economic drain.
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"
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.
Because money is hard power but how effectively it is used will determine the amount of hard power it can translate into.
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 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.
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.
Literally means nothing that is relevent to the discussion.
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.
