         <description><![CDATA[The Mexican immigration to the US started around the 1890s. The booming industries in the US such as mining and agriculture were very attractive to Mexican migrant laborers. Then, during the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920, more Mexicans moved in the form of war refugees and political exiles. At the time, Mexicans were viewed by Americans as a hard-working, physically strong people who would eventually return to Mexico. This was the case for many Mexican immigrants following the Depression of 1929, when the need for immigrant labor decreased. Hundreds of thousands were deported under unofficial policies led by federal, municipal, or city authorities. Those attempts to deport Mexicans is similar to modern-day attempts. While Mexicans continue to enter the U.S., many are being asked to leave,with the Mexican immigrant population shrinking by about 300,000 from 11.6 million to 11.3 million between 2016 and 2017. Still, Mexicans are the largest foreign-born group in America, accounting for 25 percent of the immigrant population.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Deportation - Many Mexican immigrants were deported throughout the history of the U.S., dating back all the way to the first mass-deportation in 1929.
Asylum - The reason many Mexicans immigrated to the U.S. in the first place during the early 1900s was to seek asylum, as there were many political conflicts in their own country.
Forced migration - Forced migration is the involuntary migration of immigrants, usually shortly after they immigrate. An example would be countermigration, which is common for Mexican immigrants illegally trying to enter the U.S., as they are often sent back within a short period of time.
Pull factors - Pull factors apply to Mexican migration to U.S. because Mexican immigrants saw the U.S. as an attractive place to settle in for a number of reasons. A pull factor in this migration would be the booming industrial environment of the U.S. in the early 1900s prior to the Depression of 1929. There were many economic opportunities for hard-working Mexicans, which they looked forward to taking advantage of.
Push factors - The mass migration of Mexican immigrants would not happen/be happening without push factors. The economic status of Mexico compared to that of the U.S. is obviously a big reason many Mexicans have chosen to migrate. Along with that, there have been accounts of great political turmoil in Mexico, causing large groups of people to leave in short periods of time.
Voluntary migration - While there has been a significant amount of Mexicans forced to return to the U.S. following their migration, many have legally been able to find their way into the country. This is modeled in the statistic that 25 percent of all immigrants currently in the U.S. are made up of Mexican immigrants.

         <description><![CDATA[Ravenstein's laws of migration apply to the migration from Mexico to the U.S especially in recent years. During the past decade, the first law of migration has really been shown. More and more mexican immigrants have left the U.S rather than staying mainly because of the U.S economy and job availability. This is one of the main reasons people migrate so the lack of jobs made the U.S less appealing to those looking for work. The second law applies because the U.S borders Mexico and is the nearest country with a good job market. The third law is related and also ties in with the second law because Mexican immigrants will mostly settle in big cities like New York and Boston, they settle in closer rural destinations because of the short distance. To relate the 4th law, Urban areas are filled with job opportunities which is what most people look for. That being said, people will most likely migrate to the U.S from rural areas due to the lack of job opportunities. Although the move from mexico to the U.S is not as international as some other immigration paths, it is still mainly done by single people rather than whole families. The 5th law relates because over 50% of immigrants from Mexico are between the age of 18 &amp; 64. This means that people usually do not bring young children or elderly people so it is safe to assume that most come alone or in pairs. Also, the main reason for moving is to find work and if you are either too young or too old to work, there is no point in moving.

Migrants who move longer distances tend to choose big-city destinations<br>4. Urban residents are less migratory than inhabitants of rural areas<br>5.
