More Mexican immigrants leaving U.S. than entering: Pew
More
Mexicans are leaving the United States than entering it according to a
report released on Thursday, at a time when some Republicans, including
presidential candidate Donald Trump, have taken a hard line on illegal
immigration. Most Mexicans leaving the United States are doing so
voluntarily to reunite with their family or to start one, the report by
the Pew Research Center showed. From 2009 to 2014, more than one
million Mexicans and their families left the United States for Mexico,
while more than 865,000 entered the United States, Pew said.

This likely means that things in Mexico are better than they have been and things in the U.S. are worse than they have been the past for immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Also, there is a problem of Mexican gangs in the U.S. killing new immigrants because they don't want them to take their jobs or undercut their pay. This is especially true in California and because of what is said in the above article might be getting worse.
