Mexican immigration to the United States is on the brink of a historic reversal:
More Mexicans may be going back to Mexico than coming in, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report Monday. The influx of Mexicans, which has dominated U.S. immigration patterns for four decades, began to tumble in 2006 and 2007 as the housing bust and recession created a dearth of jobs. At the same time, the number of Mexicans returning to their native country along with their U.S.-born children soared.

From 2005 to 2010, 1.4 million Mexicans came to the USA— down by more than half from the 3 million who came from 1995 to 2000. From 2005 to 2010 , the number of Mexicans who moved from the USA to Mexico rose to 1.4 million, roughly double the number who had done so 10 years before.

Passel says the data suggest that the return flow to Mexico probably surpassed the incoming flow in the last two years.
