MEXICO CITY—The Mexican government's statistical unit says the country's net outflow of migrants has fallen to "almost nothing." Fewer migrants are entering Mexico, but the number leaving has dropped even faster.

The National Statistics Institute says Mexico lost about 0.09 percent of its population to migration as of March 2010 and March 2011.

About 0.38 percent of the country's 112.7 million people migrated abroad, while about 0.29 percent immigrated to Mexico.

The Institute said Monday the net loss was down from the outflow of 0.53 percent when the comparison wee first made at the height of the migration boom in 2006.

The comparisons are based on preliminary figures from the quarterly National Employment and Occupation survey.

Yet, other sources say the inflow from Mexico is getting worse.

Population Boom in Texas as Mexicans Flee Border Violence

August 8, 2011

The Texas cities of Mission and El Paso are experiencing a population and business boom, as thousands of Mexicans flee violence in the border states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, and Chihuahua, according to a story in yesterday's Mexico City daily Reforma.

The newspaper reports that many of the newcomers arrive with investor visas, which the United States provides to persons who bring job-creating investments with them. My colleague David North has written frequently about the EB-5 investor program; for his blogs postings on it, see here.

The Reforma story quotes the city manager of the South Texas city of Mission, Julio Cerdo, hailing the arrival of "good friends" from south of the border. "They're coming to us and investing here in Mission," said Cerda. Mayor Norberto Salinas said 70 percent of Mission's new homes belong to the newcomers.

There is a similar boom in El Paso, according to the story, which reports that the year-old Network of Mexican Businessmen Living in El Paso has seen its membership grow to 235 because of the flight from the neighboring Mexican city of Juarez.

"Juarez is no-man's land," the organization's president told the newspaper. The network's members include restaurateurs, accountants, and professionals in real estate and finance.

I don't belive the mexican goverment their full of sh*t just like our current goverment

The Mexican government's statistical unit says the country's net outflow of migrants has fallen to "almost nothing."

And I have a pet unicorn.

Did this person make that statement with a straight face?

If this is true then it's because,"they're all here already!"

Really? What mexico is doing in coming up with those numbers is using Calif. Nev. Utah, Arizona and New Mexico as part of Mexico. So, there are fewer Mexicans leaving mexico. LOL!!!

The Mexican Government's form of the truth is just like a Communist Country. They don't acknowledge the problem, never take responsibility, and denial is always the defense.

They are always going to give themselves an favorably exaggerated evaluation.

If they were really concerned about it, they would be telling their countrymen to come home and enforcing the border from their side. Actions speak louder than words.
