Mexico, myth busters!

5 misconceptions about Mexico, that have a strong impression on American international policy, demolished.

Mexico is a poor country. 
While many Americans assume Mexico as a country of both rich and poor, by most reports Mexico is quickly becoming a middle-class country. A greater part of Mexican households now have disposable earnings. One-half of the people own a car, and one-third own a personal computer. Almost all people have a television and cellular phone.  These are luxury items that once were seen only for the rich.

Mexican immigrants will continue to surge the US. 
Due to a number of factors, net migration to the and from US is down to ZERO. Mexico has gone through a significant demographic change in the past era such as women in the past were likely to have an average of seven kids, today, that number is down to one or two. Other factors, include an increasing number of job opportunities and entrepreneurism starting to show signs from foreigners relocating to Mexico and a young generation wanting to help its country. 

Mexican production hurt US workers. 
The most significant issues in the US-Mexico partnership are economic. A research done by Harvard business and the University of Michigan associate found that for each 10 individuals hired offshore by American businesses, two new jobs were also created in the United States. Another study found that for every dollar invested in Mexico, 60 cents were returned to the US continuously, where for every dollar invested in China only 10 cents made its way back to the United States.

Mexico's freedom is deteriorating. 
Mexico's media and municipal society organizations more frequently taking a significant steward role, asking policies and uncovering bad practices.  Mexico has actually achieved a comparatively desirable space, positioning in the higher sections of almost all comparative international methods of democracy. Open and International monitoring has validated that Mexico's democracy is stronger than ever.

Mexico is becoming a failed state. 
The country's economy has steadily grown and continues to preserve a significant position in multilateral organizations and summits. The constant about Mexico is the genuine and profound steady economic, security, political, and personal ties between Mexico and the US. Mexico becoming a failed state is  joke and just another scare tactic.
