The immigration debate in America has been thrown a new interesting factoid that should shake up the conversation a bit. As it would turn out, more Mexicans are leaving the United States than coming in.

Via ABC:

The Pew Research Center found that slightly more than 1 million Mexicans and their families, including American-born children, left the U.S. for Mexico from 2009 to 2014. During the same five years, 870,000 Mexicans came to the U.S., resulting in a net flow to Mexico of 140,000.

The desire to reunite families is the main reason more Mexicans are moving south than north, Pew found. The sluggish U.S. economic recovery and tougher border enforcement are other key factors.

Soooooo, then maybe Donald Trumps wants that wall built…but, it is to keep everyone in?
