Article on Mexican Immigration


When one thinks of immigration here in the United States, it seems like the stereotype is to think of Mexicans migrating into the US.  After reading this article on Mexican immigration, that stereotype needs to be done away with.  The article talks about how for the last four decades, Mexican migration into the United States has been constantly surging, but has now come to almost a stop recently as migration of illegal immigrants back into Mexico as opposed to into the United States.  The total of illegal immigrants from Mexico that are living here in the United States has dropped nearly one million in the past 5 years.  I think that this is all very promising for Mexico and Mexicans alike.  With less native Mexicans seeking to migrate from their native country, it’s not a stretch to assume that the country of Mexico itself, as well as the population, could get stronger.  This would be beneficial to millions of people, and it would also help to get rid of a negative and misguided stereotype regarding Mexican immigration.
