"Better lives for Mexicans cut allure of going north", is the headline of this NYT article. Could it be? One Douglas S. Massey, co-director of the Mexican Migration Project at Princeton, says the following:

"No one wants to hear it, but the flow has already stopped. For the first time in 60 years, the net traffic has gone to zero and is probably a little bit negative."

The author uses the story of the Orozcos, a family from Agua Negra, Jalisco, to point out that living conditions and education in Mexico have improved and that drug violence in border towns, along with economic crisis in the U.S., has made the option to stay put a lot more attractive.

Well, duh! Pinches migras are dicks and coyotes are fucking careros:

And having $3000 in your pocket means you can probably get a legit visa:

Mexican government estimates based on survey data show not just a decrease in migration overall, but also an increase in border crossings with documents. In 2009, the most recent year for which data is available, 38 percent of the total attempted crossings, legal and illegal, were made with documents. In 2007, only 20 percent involved such paperwork.

Another interesting point is that Mexicans are, more than ever, ignoring the all-powerful Catholic church and their messed-up anti-birth control ways. This means the typical rural Mexican family is no longer composed 12 Pedros, Marias, Julios, Elenas, etc. Instead, smaller families mean better preparation:

Teachers here, in classrooms surrounded by blue agave fields, say that enrollment is down slightly because families are having fewer children, and instead of sending workers north, some families have moved to other Mexican cities — a trend also found in academic field research. Around half the students now move on to higher schooling, up from 30 percent a decade ago.

Ven? Si se puede, si se puede!

It's a long piece and we're not sold on everything, but it's definitely worth a read.
