Decreased migration to the United States as a direct result of the stumbling economy up north is a likely factor for the unanticipated increase in Mexico’s population in the past ten years, according to Eduardo Sojo, director of INEGI (Mexico’s Geography and Statistics Institute). Preliminary results of the 2010 Census released this week by INEGI show that the nation’s population rose from just over 97 million in 2000 to over 112 million a decade later.
The rise was well over the predicted 3.9-million-person increase, said Sojo.
Mexicans are so proud of their country and roots but always want to flee their country. It makes no sense.
Well if someone offered you five or ten times as much money as you were making now to work, wouldn't you at least consider it? That isn't fleeing, that is being drawn in.

Many of them send money home and have a house built, sometimes over decades, and return home. I know Mexicans who became U.S. citizens and left the U.S. as soon as they retired to return to a better lifestyle and climate in Mexico.
