While tougher enforcement of immigration laws has been a significant factor in the reversal, most of the departing Mexicans are leaving on their own, a Pew Research Center report said Thursday.
Citing Mexican census figures, the report found that 1 million Mexicans and their families (including U.S.-born children) left the U.S. for Mexico from 2009 to 2014. It said that U.S. census data for the same period shows an estimated 870,000 Mexicans entered the U.S.
Pew's findings accounted for both documented and undocumented immigrants.
Among the most common reasons Mexicans are saying adiós to the USA are a slow economic recovery here and the fact that they miss their families back home, the study found.

And I believe that I do... NOT!
They might be leaving, but they are coming back with more drugs.
Make room for daddy , I'm a gonnin too , anywhere but this God forsaken place run by a muslim dictator.
Many are probably losing hope that the amnesty they came for will ever happen.
And that's fine, because it won't.
I hope that many of them will go home and apply to come legally, because most of them are good, hard-working people that would be good neighbors and good friends.
And they don't usually strap on explosive vests.
Good, bye, see ya. Our Muslim dictator must be the reason they are leaving.
Leaving our country ? Where did you get this report , from the democrat gazette ?
They too are disappointed with Obamanomics.
"I hope that many of them will go home and apply to come legally, because most of them are good, hard-working people that would be good neighbors and good friends."
Well said. Most of the Mexicans I know are pretty good guys - and I'll take busloads of these dudes before a single Muslim 'refugee'. And, if the US sucks so much for the 'Black Lives Matter' crew, I'd be more than happy to exchange them for an equal number of folks from south of the border.
Finally something we can give Obama credit for. The economy sucks so bad even the Hispanics are leaving.
Whitehouse media propaganda, don't believe it.
