The demagogic portrayal of Mexico as a threat to American culture, society, and security has not solved the problems associated with Mexico-US migration; it has only made them worse.

I wholeheartedly agree, Mexico poses no threat to united statian society or security. I don't think the united statians have such a thing as a "culture", but doubt it could be threatened by Mexico either. But I would dispute the fertility situation. I'm no demographer and have no idea what the numbers actually mean, but from what I recall, the anglo birth rate is at 1.8 and the Mexican rate is at 2.8, I also remember replacement rate was at 2.0. If these figures are about right, you can see how it would make a difference.

The scholar must be right, because he's studied a long time and has "data". The anonymous writer must be wrong because he doesn't want to give his name.

Yes, that makes sense, I'd doubt the integrity of one publishing anonymously and would lend credence to the conclusions of long-studied scientists in their field.
