Andrea Mitchell: Net Migration from Mexico Is ‘Basically Zero’

‘As they’ve become better off, we have fewer people trying to come in illegally from Mexico’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "Alan Gomez, the net migration from Mexico has changed dramatically. It’s basically zero. People coming over illegally tend to be from other Central American poorer countries that are passing through Mexico. NAFTA has had a big increase in its own standard of living partly as a result of oil and other resources that Mexico has, and as they’ve become better off, we have fewer people trying to come in illegally from Mexico, per se."
