That reason been that they have no job opportunities and that in one month of work in the US they will be making more $ than in a full year back at home.
I'm not mexican, I'm guatemalan and live in Guatemala, fortunatley, i don't have to leave my beloved country in search of a better future, but i do have the experience of living near a big community of US citizens, and i can tell you they're very happy living here, and how not, if they can live like kings with what in the US would be a mediocre salary, private medical insurance costs $40 a month for you and your wife and like 25 extra for your kids. A very, very nice home, very well built cost you around 85-100 grands, housekeeping costs about $200 a month and at the supermarket you can find almost every single product by the same brands at the US for practically the same price. You have access to the internet with no complications, even with your cell phone, there are a lot of cable tv options, directv, etc... Believe me, when you analize it, all of the sudden there are a lot of good reasons to come and live in our countries and the reason why all my live i've been neighbor to many, many US citizens that grow in number every year, that only speak english and pretend to impose in Guatemala the rules and ways of the US, but hey, i see it as human nature and have many friends among them, although i had to learn english 'cause to the day they only know the basics of spanish.
