Migration Levels Between the US and Mexico in Recent Years

Variations in migration levels between the US and Mexico in recent years

Mexico and the US, two neighboring nations

As two neighboring nations, the US and Mexico have always had a strong and constant bond throughout history, involving all kinds of sectors of interregional interest and, naturally, market and trade exchange.

Nevertheless, these two countries have also faced difficulties, such as irregular migration. Over the past few decades, levels of irregular migration to the US have increased considerably across Mexican borders. This is mainly due to the fact that several Central American nations are going through difficult situations, forcing thousands of individuals and entire families to leave their countries of origin to seek new opportunities and protect their lives in North America.

Adding to that, Mexican nationals have also been an essential part of the American social fabric throughout history and many of them have built their lives in the US with their beloved ones and have brought new customs and cultures to the North American territory.

Variations in migration levels between the US and Mexico in recent years

It is important to clarify that migration has always been reciprocal between the US and Mexico. In other words, not only Mexican nationals come to the US, but also thousands of people migrate from the US to Mexico.

Speaking specifically about the last two decades, a recent Pew Research Center report reveals that the number of people migrating from the US to Mexico has declined considerably over the last decade, compared to what happened at the beginning of the 21st century.

Pew Research Center research shows that:

  • Between 2013 and 2018, 710,000 people went to Mexico from the US. During the same period, 870,000 migrants came to the US from Mexico.
  • In contrast, between 2009 and 2014, approximately 1 million people went to Mexico from the US. During the same period, 870,000 migrants came to the US from Mexico.

As one might realize, the research reveals that migration levels from Mexico did not increase, as certain political leaders claim, but rather, migration levels from the US to Mexico decreased.
