In
the past four decades, 12 million Mexican immigrants came to the U.S., just
over half of whom were unauthorized.
Recently, though, this flow of immigration, which represented the
largest flow between any two countries in the world, has reversed. Whereas from 1995 to 2000 the net flow
of immigration into the United States via Mexico was positive, from 2005 to
2010, that flow reversed. The Pew
Research Center released a study investigating immigration between the
bordering nations, and pointed to “the weakened U.S. job and housing construction
markets, heightened border enforcement, a rise in deportations, the growing
dangers associated with illegal border crossings, the long-term decline in
Mexico’s birth rates and broader economic conditions in Mexico.” In 2011, about 6.1 million unauthorized
Mexican immigrants lived in the U.S., down from a peak of almost 7 million in
2007. Over the same time period,
the number of authorized Mexican immigrants rose about 200,000.
