New data that was released Wednesday by the Center for Migration Studies shows there were 10.6 million immigrants living unlawfully in the United States in 2018 compared with 11.75 million in 2010, a decline propelled primarily by Mexicans returning south. Story continuesThe population of Mexicans in the United States illegally declined by a quarter between 2010 and 2018, the new immigration figures show, amid stepped-up deportations and an improved Mexican economy that has encouraged many people to go home voluntarily.
“It used to be that a glut of working-age Mexican citizens turned to the U.S., a developed country, for available jobs,” said Donald Kerwin, executive director of the Center for Migration Studies, which is based in New York and analyzes trends and policies related to international migration. “This dynamic has changed significantly over the years.”
Despite the arrival at the border of a large number of Central Americans, especially families fleeing violence, a larger proportion of people in the county illegally who have arrived in recent years came on visas that they then overstayed. Among those who went home was a 50-year-old construction designer, Mario, who left five years ago after living for 14 years in New York.
