Most people who go to the U.S. form Mexico only want to stay a year or so. They are from the poorest parts of the country, where jobs are scarce. They only want to make enough money to help their families. Most miss their families very much and return in a year or so. Unless you have been to Mexico and see the great poverty many people live in, it is very difficult to understand. The very great majority of Mexicans stay in their own country and are very hard working, devoted people.

The same reason Europeans moved to the Americas, better life.

Oh, and we are all Americans, be more specific next time.

Mexicans have a great devotion to their families and only want to give their families a better life. In many places in Mexico electricity and water are luxury. They work hard all day long in the field, construction, or some other labor job making less between $2 - $10 a day. Mexicans move to America in the hope of giving their family a better life.

The majority of the Mexican people move there to get a better life, an hourly minimum wage job in the USA is whole lot more than the money they can get in Mexico in a week. Most Mexicans only want to get there, work as hard as they can with no rest for a couple of years and make enough money to take back home. With this money they can build a house and maybe even start a business, the standard of living in Mexico is much lower than in the US, with this I mean that you can get more for your money in Mexico than you would int the USA.

Although there are some exceptions to the rule, Mexicans like me who love the adventure and don't mind working and living in different places.

$$$ that is the ONLY reason anyone would leave their homeland and life and family. They are courageous, family oriented people who risk a lot because they know they deserve better.

Usually because there are jobs in America and there aren't any where they live in Mexico.

The best way to solve the Mexican illegal immigration problem is to help the economy of Mexico to give jobs to all workers who want a job.
