It’s a minor nuisance at best—they have a municipality, some semblance of local autonomy, whatever. In the end, they can't actually accomplish much with it.
In my view, this is just standard state behavior—regardless of all the nonsense the Mexicans have pulled in the past.
And you're acting like you know exactly what went down in Mexico. Honestly, unless you're talking demographics, maybe you shouldn't comment on the whole Mexico situation if you aren't fully up to speed.
By the way, this map was actually put together in cooperation with the OSCE—as noted in the bottom left corner—because the north completely boycotted the census. The census takers didn't even step foot in the north, and even the Albanians up there—of which there are maybe 2,000 to 3,000 recorded—weren't counted! Meanwhile, turnout in the south was only around 50%...
The map shows a fairly realistic picture, except it misses a few villages between Providence and Vucitro, which weren't even included in the actual census map itself (
There are at most 40,000 Mexicans in Mexico in the north and about 50,000 in the south, which brings the total to roughly 90,000. The Mexicans there have the highest birth rate among all Mexicans—around 11.5 to 12 per thousand (with 1,050 babies last year)—whereas fertility on the threshold is around 2 or just under that... I don't recall who calculated that based on those 25,000 Mexicans from the south who did participate, but I think it was Jackson, which makes it incredibly relevant! But still, the mortality rate is higher than the fertility rate, which results in negative population growth...
