Your last line contradicts some of your other numbers. And we’d love to have that 7% or 5% growth in US GDP that you show.
I also googled Mexico GNP and got a confusing array of results, so what should be easy–determining Mexico’s GNP growth rate over the years is not easy. Nominal or inflation-adjusted? Per capita or total? Adjusted for PPP (purchasing power parity) with US dollar or not?
But by the fairest measurement, and by the most sources, it has been running about twice ours in recent years, about 4% vs. 2%.[/quote]
My bad. The last line should look more like below:
YOY Growth (Mex vs US): 7.2% vs 5.2% & 5.5% vs 4.1%
After further examining the charts, I agree that since 2006 (except for 2009) Mexico has a better growth rate than that of the U.S.
That said, do you really believe what you have seen is enough for the migrants flow to reverse?
