As of January 2010, there are about 1,200,000 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico.
Mormonism is not particularly popular in Mexico. Catholicism is much more popular. Out of the 112 million residents of Mexico, approximately 1.3 million of these are baptized Mormons, which means about 1% of all Mexicans are Mormons, and about 10% of all Mormons are Mexicans.
many Mormons are minors
Over 93% are Christians of various denominations (Protestants, Catholics, Mormons).
They could be considered many things, pioneers, pilgrims, refugees, colonizers, even illegal immigrants to Mexico.
The Mormons had been severely persecuted and kicked out of several settlements throughout the US. Local authorities could not help them, and the national government refused, so the Mormons left to Mexico in hopes of finding freedom and peace. Very shortly after arriving in Mexico, the territory they settled became part of the United States and is now Utah.
It depends on how you would define "most popular". The US has the most Mormons. Tonga has the highest percentage of Mormons. The church is growing fastest in Mexico and Brazil.
