According to the CIA World Factbook, average, weighted fertility in Latin America is about 2.3 children per woman compared to about 2.1 for the USA. Completed fertility for Hispanic women aged 40-45 in the US us also 2.3. (source=Fertitlity of American Women, June 2004 - P20-555 - US Census Bureau - http://www.census.gov/prod/2005pubs/p20-555.pdf ). Both of <BR/>these sources are probably a bit behind the times. Latin American fertility is probably lower today. One Mexican study projects the Mexican fertility will drop to West European levels in 23 years; ie, by 2030, it will be 1.68 children per woman.

And let me remind you countries such as France, Germany and Denmark have equally bad, if not worse immigration problems. You would hardly call that a gathering of gentiles. No more than I would call the gathering of latin americans a gathering of the gentiles. Further let's not forget the immigration problem was actually worse during the 50s. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm being overly critical. But really look at it from a non-american point of view. I don't know. It all just seems like hopeful and ethnocentric conjecture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
