Mexico achieved a world championship: it is the country that has lost more inhabitants to migration: 11.5 million people (10.7% of the population) in the recent decades, which have gone mostly to the United States.

According to the Factbook of remittances and migration of 2007, elaborated by the World Bank (WB), in the recent 10 years 644 thousand 361 Mexicans on the average have left the country each year.

According to the document of the multilateral agency —that contains figures of 2005 for migration and preliminary data of December of last year for remittances—, Russia occupies the second world place in this list, with 11 million 480 thousand migrants.

In turn, India (10 million) and China (7.3 million) occupy the third and fourth places of the ranking, respectively.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me what accomplishments Mexcio has ever contributed to the world. Oh, and making babies and exporting your poor and uneducated to the United States does not count.

The reason I ask is that for a country with zero world contributions, they seem to exhibit a bravado and cockiness that is second to none.

For example, how many troops did they contribute to the war on terror? With all this country has done for Mexico, you think they could atleast send a few troops to Iraq to help us out if nothing more than a goodwill gesture. Well, I believe the answer is zero troops. If i'm wrong I will gladly stand corrected.

When are we going to tell that country to get lost. They need us more than we will ever need them and they are severe economic detriment to this country.
