Once a person has a green card in the US, it allows them to have residency and the ability to work in the US. Due to this, a family member will try and get more of their family to come to the US to join them. Many doors open to immigrants once someone has a green card. Many other family members may to eligible to get a green card as well, which further will contribute to the chain migration.]]> 2023-09-28 15:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoniak/etlaqoqmz99erpj9/wish/2724846720 kmoniak https://padlet.com/kmoniak/etlaqoqmz99erpj9/wish/2724847560 Mexico receives more money from remittance compared to every country but India.

The US provides better education and job opportunities, as well as better healthcare. Mexican immigrants also move to the US in order to reunite with their families already living in the states.
