Context

Mexicans Are the Largest Immigrant Group in the United States

According to the Migration Policy Institute, about 10.9 million people born in Mexico lived in the United States in 2023. They make up nearly 23% of the country's total immigrant population and remain a key demographic presence.

Migration Strengthens Family and Economic Stability

Binational mobility sustains family, work, and community networks in both countries. In 2023, Mexico received more than $63 billion in remittances, an essential source of income for millions of households and local economies.

Human Mobility Is a Permanent, Structural Reality

Recent estimates indicate that about 14 million people live in the United States without regular immigration status, most of them from Latin America. This underscores the need for comprehensive, humane immigration policies.
