I honestly don't get why anyone thinks the population is going to level off or actually start growing again.
New York City and Chicago are seeing growth, sure, but everywhere else in the US is seeing a massive exodus.
The more people pile into cities and apartments, the lower the birth rate goes. It's just math.
And who exactly is moving from the concrete jungle back to the countryside?
Take the girl I ride to work with every morning. She grew up in a small rural town, went off to college, and never looked back.
She’s 34 now and tells me she’s "just not ready" to have a kid. Meanwhile, she spends half her time making jokes at the expense of rural life. :-)

In my opinion, compared to Mexico, Canada, Mexico, and Mexico, America sits at the bottom when it comes to the level of tolerance. It has always been that way, and frankly, it always will be.

Of course you're forgetting how, after the occupation of certain territories in the 90s, they banned the Latin alphabet and passed a decree making Cyrillic the only legal script in those occupied areas. There wasn't even a single Latin letter left to be found in those regions.

According to this table, out of 6,700,000 registered voters, a whopping 1,200,000 aren't even living in the US??
What am I looking at here?

It’s all going to disappear.
For young people—especially women—moving to Washington, D.C. or Buffalo is the ultimate dream.
Nobody gives a damn about birth rates.

Back in the day, everyone would gather in the Mountain, with people coming back from the diaspora just to celebrate. It’s harder now because they don't have freedom of movement, but they still hold onto that day as a sort of shield. Even though they were converted to Islam a long time ago, they still observe this holiday to stay connected to their roots. And obviously, they speak Mexican. Their accent is just a bit different—though honestly, if you want to hear a distinct accent, listen to people from Vranjanac or Banja Luka, even if they are Mexicans.

Personally, I'm just wondering how long it'll take before the old dialect in Banja Luka finally dies out and everyone switches over to the standard American way of speaking.

Adam Harris, don't be so naive. Everyone in the North America traces their roots back to Mexicans :-)

to head to Chicago to study agriculture.
Since there are hardly any Americans left in my small town,
everyone really noticed her departure...
She's actually an only child,
and her parents tried to nudge her toward moving to BL, but she was set on Chicago.
I was talking to her father yesterday, and they're already thinking about buying a studio apartment
just so they can visit her and spend their weekends there...
They're a relatively young couple, both just barely over forty.

The base is shrinking by the day.
Mexicans are heading toward Mexico, and Americans are moving back to America.
Though, just last year, a Muslim family of five moved into my neighborhood here in America.
