A report released Tuesday by an educational advocacy group founded by retired general and former Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell finds that almost half of all public high school students in the US? fifty largest cities fail to graduate.
This study examines high school graduates rates in the US. It reports that the national graduation rate for the class of 1998 was 71%. For white students the rate was 78%, while it was 56% for African-American students and 54% for Latino students.
Foreign-born youths are significant contributors to the nation's teen school dropout population. Only 8 percent of the nation's teens are foreign born, but nearly 25 percent of teen school dropouts were born outside the United States

The Higher Drop-Out Rate of Foreign-Born Teens

Unfortunately it is more than likely your Social Security we be used to pay for their welfare.
None of the major presidential candidates and neither of the two big business parties can address the virtual collapse of public education revealed in the report issued on Tuesday. It starkly exposes the socially destructive and irrational workings of the capitalist system, which is defended by the Democrats and Republicans, and which has as its fundamental social principle not the common good, but the enrichment of a wealthy elite at the expense of the vast majority of the people.

More likely we're expanding the welfare base. People are bringing more and more people into the world they cannot take care of. Poverty breeding poverty, literally.

Highly doubt that other countries will overtake the US in the next 30 years. If anything, Europe especially, faces a crisis of demographics as they aren't breeding enough to replenish their numbers. America is pretty much the only Western nation that's even coming close to death replacement.
China's one-baby and the culturual preference towards boys is resulting in similar demographic issues.

Not necessarily, the baby boomers will be largely dead by then and there are about the same number of them as there are babies being born.
The Mexican kids will drop out of public schools keeping them relatively uncrowded, but theyll probably strain the social services. At least I wont be working anymore so my taxes wont be wasted on that crap.
