“Mexican Immigration to U.S. Reverses: More
Mexicans are leaving the U.S. to return home than arriving, ending the largest
wave of immigration in modern American history
For the first time since the 1940s, more Mexicans have
been leaving the U.S. to return home than arriving, a reversal that brings down
the curtain on the largest immigration wave in modern American history,

Mexican migration has been falling for some time. But the
Pew Research Center figures released Thursday suggest that the surge in legal
and illegal Mexican immigration that helped transform America—and remains a
contentious issue on the presidential campaign trail—may have peaked for good.”
