More people moving from US to Mexico than the other way around [View all]

In a twist to the decades-long trend of Mexican immigrants journeying to the United States, data show that in recent years more people have done the opposite. Mexicans and US-born immigrants are moving from America to its southern neighbor in droves.

The phenomenon has been well-known for several years. Between 2009 and 2014, 1 million Mexicans, including their American-born children, left the US for Mexico, according to the 2014 Mexican National Survey of Demographic Dynamics.

US census data also show that in that same period of time, just 870,000 Mexicans migrated to the United States.

In May, Mexico's statistics institute estimated that there are at least 799,000 US-born people living among the Mexican population. That's four times as many as in 1990, according to The Washington Post, and is probably an underestimate.
