I don't think that's a great way to compare countries. Half the time the US has negative migration with Mexico. Meaning more people are leaving US for Mexico than vice versa. Does that make Mexico better than the US?

Many people move back to Mexico because life here kinda sucks and opportunities are scant if you don’t speak English. And some Americans move to Mexico because it’s cheaper, warmer, and maybe they have family.

Comparing which country is “better” overall is difficult and also pointless because it depends on the priorities of the person who cares about that answer.

Yeah that's my point.

Its not consistent which direction the net migration is, which is why I say "half the time".

dude, shut the fuck up and get better sources.

"Due to the way the Mexican government sources report data, this analysis uses several overlapping time periods: 2005-2010, for example, and 2009-2014. In addition, migration from Mexico in this analysis includes only those who were born there, while migration to Mexico includes those born in Mexico, the U.S., and elsewhere."

This shit is fucking bullshit and you know it. I m pretty sure this takes into account 0 of those who get in illegaly.
