Brazil and Mexico both have plummeting fertility rates and are emigrant nations. They'll both have lower fertility rates than the U.S. in the near-term.
Mexico City has barely grown in decades. It's actually very similar to NYC and LA in that it gets tons of domestic outmigration to cheaper, fast-growing metros within a day's drive. Booming places like Queretaro and Irapuato are basically the Raleigh and Nashville of Mexico (cheap, attractive, sprawl cities).
