More than one million Mexicans and their families, including US-born children, returned to Mexico from 2009 to 2014 after living in the US, the report by Pew Research Center found.

Meanwhile, only 870,000 Mexicans moved in to US during the same time period, creating a net loss of 140,000 people.

An uneven economic recovery in the US was cited as a reason behind the shift.
Industries where migrants typically found work, such as construction, have not rebounded since the US emerged from a recession in 2009.

While increased border security has been an issue in the US presidential race, the Pew Center found that existing border controls have also made it harder for undocumented Mexicans to enter the US.

Family ties

The US has also stepped up efforts to deport migrants who have entered the country illegally.

However, the report found that the majority of Mexicans in the US who returned home did so "of their own accord".

The most common reason cited was reuniting with family. Others cited job opportunities in Mexico.

I was told there were HORDES of Mexicans pouring into the US, like locusts, over taking land, jobs, benefits and 'Murica - with Ebola of course.

Yet, that does not seem to be the case.

Over one million left - and 870,000 came in.

The conservative brain defect issued a false alarm, yet again.

Oh, and one of the facts being that there was an exodus due to jobs, proves they weren't here to leech off the government. But were indeed looking for work.

saying some Muslims are terrorists because of their religion = you are a racist.

Saying conservatives have some made up disease - no problem.

Pretending you haven't labeled all Muslims as terrorists = invalidating your point.

....

.... what? That's it. There is no second part here. Because of that 1st part.

Trump often says our leadership IS STUPID over illegal immigration.
Well on this one, Trump is the idiot.
Most of illegal immigrants do not need to climb a wall, they just buy an airplane ticket.
Usually with false passports or false papers or using legal loop holes allowing them to come into the country, then disappear into the crowd and never leave.

The illegals that do run across the border or climb a fence don't get very far.
They come with little more than the shirt on their back, have few if any resources waiting on this side of the border, and are usually easily caught and returned to Mexico.

The illegals that make it into this country and stay in our country have help and money sent from others already in our country.
They do not need the skills to run or climb anything.
They fly in or are motored in for a price, then are motored where they need to go to make connections with illegals already here or family already living here.
Smuggling illegals into the US is big business and those involved making all that money off smuggling illegals are your average everyday US American citizen.
Because smuggling in one illegal can profit the smuggler as much as $1000 per person.
And once smuggled into this country, illegals know who is hiring and employers are more than willing to hire these low waged immigrants workers.

So go ahead Donald, build your wall.
I just wonder what other bs you will then feed your fellow Americans on why illegal immigration has not declined under your administration???
Wall? Yeah right. Forget the wall, i'm motoring in by air conditioned car or while eating my bag of peanuts and sipping a nice cold soda while flying in on a national known airline.
