against what, people leaving? in your reciting of the teabagger talking point, you are oblivious to the fact that more mexicans are leaving than coming into the country. You are making it clear to the board that you are incapable of speaking about anything other than FOX talking points. It is getting to be a joke.

and the border crossings? i have a challenge for you. go to mexico and then cross back into the U.S. illegally, and see if you survive the wild west situation just south of the border along the fence.


Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero—and Perhaps Less

By Jeffrey S. Passel, D’Vera Cohn and Ana Gonzalez-Barrera

The May 3 update includes the full methodology appendix and a statistical profile of Mexican immigrants in the United States.

The largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—most of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed, according to a new analysis of government data from both countries by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.

The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including 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.
