5/But even as Mexicans have left the U.S., Central American immigration from the three "northern triangle" countries of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala has (modestly) increased. Here are the numbers.pic.twitter.com/icgZjnZQo4
6/A majority of Central American immigrants are unauthorized (http://www.pewhispanic.org/2017/12/07/rise-in-u-s-immigrants-from-el-salvador-guatemala-and-honduras-outpaces-growth-from-elsewhere/ …). In addition, Central American immigrants tend to be much less educated than other immigrants.pic.twitter.com/5j0dVfP5rJ
7/This is why most of our public immigration debate - family separations, migrant caravans, etc. - now centers around Central Americans. Central America is the U.S.' only remaining major source of inflows of less-educated, unauthorized immigration.
8/BUT, there are very good reasons to think that the Central American mini-wave of immigrants is a temporary phenomenon that will end soon. First, Central Americans, like Mexicans a decade earlier, have recently stopped having a bunch of kids.pic.twitter.com/g3ImEmffpq
9/Fewer kids means fewer people to send to America to work and send money home. It means young Central Americans will need to stay home, to take care of aged parents, to take over family businesses, etc. etc.
10/The second reason is that Central American countries have also been getting steadily richer.pic.twitter.com/d5QsKzBQei
Looking at other sources, those GDP per capita numbers (PPP) don't look right for El Salvador. It looks like a PPP to nominal US dollars series. The constant dollar series at FRED is less impressive.pic.twitter.com/5F8RcBMVnc
I know, but that shouldn't matter much, PPP adjustment doesn't deviate much year to year one you use the domestic deflator (i.e. we now get to play a three deflator game).
What I'm saying is that your series looks PPP to nominal US dollars year by year.
That is what PPP is. The U.S. GDP at PPP is the same as nominal because it is the base.
