More Mexican immigrants leaving U.S. than entering

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.
