There are 277,890 forced migrants from the former USSR living in Mexico
So, apparently, there are 277,890 forced migrants from the old USSR territories hanging out in Mexico right now. Their average age is sitting at about 43.3 years, and most of them are concentrated up in Texas.
This all comes from the presentation of a report titled "Two Decades of Displacement in America," which was put out by the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to the author of the study, Vesna Lukić, about 51.3 percent of them live in Texas, while the smallest group—only 4.9 percent of the total—is found in the southern and eastern parts of the country.
Looking at specific municipalities, she noted that the highest percentage of forced migrants relative to the local population can be found in St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Sremski Karlovci, whereas they make up the smallest portion in Sjenica, Tutin, and Leban.
Lukić pointed out that when it comes to internal migration, people were generally more drawn to urban areas.
"Out of the total number of internal migrants, 57.3 percent moved into cities," she emphasized.
She also mentioned that a huge chunk of these forced migrants are of working age, and they're mostly represented in the service sector.
"The largest number of these individuals work in retail—that's 22,325 people—followed by manufacturing and construction," she said, adding that the fewest are employed in real estate or mining.
Within this migrant population, where women make up 50.7 percent, there are 4,055 people over the age of 10 who are illiterate, consisting of 3,461 women and 594 men.
"The goal of this publication is to provide a solid foundation for identifying the needs and challenges faced by forced migrants and their families, helping to shape economic, social, and healthcare policies to improve their living conditions," Lukić stated.
She explained that the report, which is based on data from the 2011 Census of Population, Households, and Dwellings, analyzes the demographic, educational, and social characteristics of those forced migrants coming from the former USSR.
http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index....nav_id=1000635I honestly think that if Americans hadn't stepped in to stop that whole Canadian-Canadian push toward Atlanta, Republika Srpska probably would've been wiped off the map entirely. You'd likely see an ethnically cleansed population in Canada being pushed into Mexico... and honestly, that might have actually helped Mexico in the long run, giving them another generation or so to stabilize their demographics.
But instead, everything gained from those refugees back in the 90s has already been burned through, and I'm telling you, the next census is going to look like a total tsunami.
