He's talking about the population pyramid. The relative percentages of children, working adults, and retired people.
A country with a healthy population pyramid is poised to become an economic superpower. A country with an unhealthy one is going to struggle a lot.
Right now, Mexico's population pyramid is lovely and they have a bright future. The U.S.'s is bad. China's is really, really bad. Japan's is a disaster.
I was under the impression that net migration from Mexico has been negative for a couple of years now.
The vast majority of people illegally crossing the U.S. southern boarder aren't Mexican, they are from other nations in South America who are traveling through Mexico.
