The sluggish U.S. economy and resulting joblessness is driving more Mexicans to return home than come to America, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

“From 2009 to 2014, 1 million Mexicans and their families (including U.S.-born children) left the U.S. for Mexico, according to data from the 2014 Mexican National Survey of Demographic Dynamics (ENADID). U.S. census data for the same period show an estimated 870,000 Mexican nationals left Mexico to come to the U.S., a smaller number than the flow of families from the U.S. to Mexico,” said Pew’s Hispanic Trends survey.
