'The U.S.-Mexico border is so intertwined that whatever happens on the one of the sides is going to affect the other,' said one migration analyst.
The United States posted an inflation rate of roughly 6.8 percent at the end of 2021, putting it sixth among the countries that saw the highest rate of inflation increases among the world's 20 largest economies. Sitting next to the United States as number five onMexico ended 2021 with an inflation rate of almost 7.4 percent, Trading Economics reported. While 2021 saw the nation's economy grow by almost 6 percent. It, like the United States—which grew by 5.
However, even with this measure in place, Mexican citizens may still be unable to avoid the rippling effects of a heated U.S. economy.that because the U.S. and Mexican economies are so intertwined Mexico's economic success and failure tends to mirror that of America's. When American inflation drives up the price of parts and materials, Mexico's manufacturing sector hurts, and as that sector hurts, Ruiz said economic opportunities begin to dry up.
Mexican citizens could turn to economic opportunities in the U.S. if inflation causes a shrinkage in the country's formal economy. Here, people climb a section of border wall on April 29, 2018 in Tijuana, Baja California Norte, Mexico."Inflation is driving shrinking economies on the border with Mexico and the United States," he told."The more of those [economies] become difficult to access, the more likely that those folks in northern Mexico will consider emigrating.
While Ruiz does not expect this issue to drive migration in the short term, he said long term inflation effects could spill across the Mexican economy, from its profitable manufacturing sectors to the less profitable industries that benefit off of manufacturing revenue. Ruiz said this could place significant pressure on the country's poorest cities, resulting in a potential wave of migration.
Already, officials at the Southwest border of the U.S. have seen a steady flow of single adults of Mexican citizenship have made their way to the border. Since March 2021, border officials have encountered over 50,000 single Mexican adults each month, with that number coming close to 60,000 in both November and October.

Biden administration reimposes 'Remain in Mexico' policyBiden administration officials further outlined a plan for the implementation of the 'MPP' or 'Remain in Mexico' policy on a conference call with reporters Monday while underscoring a commitment to ending the program and describing safeguards designed to improve conditions for asylum seeking enrollees. A central criticism of the MPP program -- which bars asylum seekers from entering the U.S. while immigration courts review their claims -- was the lack of access to U.S. legal services for enrollees forced into makeshift Mexican border camps. Now, the Biden administration is working with legal service providers and promising 24-hour consultation windows to assist with screening interviews and immigration court cases.
