Just like most present-day Americans (unless you are a Native American), they left their home country for economic, religious or political reasons. In the case of Mexicans, they were attracted to the "American dream": while the average American earns a wage of US$58,714, the average Mexican earns only US$14,867.

However, most illegal immigrants from Mexico are people with little or no education; most of them are former farm laborers who didn't earn enough to support their families, and were forced to look for alternatives. As the US Immigration and naturalization process would disqualify them, many chose to enter into the country illegally.


Nowadays however, due to more stringent border controls and a general improvement of the Mexican economy, the immigration process has started to reverse: the net migration rate between 2009 and 2014 is 140,000 people leaving the country for Mexico.
