WTF stories of the day

The reason for less Mexican immigration to the US is partly because of the laws, partly because there are fewer jobs, and partly because of....birth control?

A lot of illegal migrants who head north to look for jobs are in their late teens or early twenties. Mexican statisticians are now pointing out that Mexico has fewer young people than it did a decade ago. Birth rates began to decline in the 1980s. By one estimate, there are now around 100,000 a year fewer people turning 18 than there were in the mid-1990s.

I'd make a joke to hire Pinoys because we don't have birth control, but actually we do, both church approved NFP and via private funding, and our birth rate has fallen dramatically in the last 20 years too....down to 2.5 children per woman.
