We know exactly what mexicans are like on average because we know what mexico is like and what mexico has always been like. At the group level mexicans produce a crappy country. So do all their relatives in nicaraqua and honduras and panama and belize. The state of those countries reflects the average behavior of those people.
Their poor economic development and high levels of crime and violence are not a function of palm trees or plantains. Its not the result of a series of bad policy decisions by their politicians. Its not caused by communism. Its not caused by lack of democracy or capitalism. Reforming their governments will never fix that problem.
Its just MATH! If you replace half the white people in the US with mexicans, the US will become half way between its former self and mexico. If you replace half of them with people from the Congo you will end up with a country half way between our former glory and the Congo.
If you want to know what a group of people are really like, look at their real country. They will recreate it wherever they go. I don’t want to live in the fucking Congo, or Mexico.
