It could be that we are not receiving Mexico's worst but Mexico's best? The rich in Mexico stay put..the poor flee. If wealthy MEXICANS were to migrate north bringing billions of dollar most would welcome such a thing..but rich does not guarantee good.
Mexico might be running out of good people - thus the slow down in migration. Through out history migrants to other nations were making an escape...If I lived in a place where the only way I could get ahead in life was to commit evil...I would run for the north rather than take part in institutional corruption.

More likely we're getting Mexico's least patriotic, those least likely to take a stand and fight to reform their nation.
Mexico's middle class is good and hard working but they don't generally start having babies they can never afford at age 14 after dropping out of school. If you are in Mexico and you finish your education at least through secundaria, get a job and some job skills, and delay having babies until all that and marriage, then you will almost surely become part of the growing middle class.
We're attracting a different kind. If you were a 16 year old unwed uneducated mother and realized that in your own country, you were facing a life of work but if you simply crossed the border to the USA, you would never need to worry about working or much else, not even the hospital bill for the maternity visit, what would you do?
