Abstract: + Migration from Mexico to the United States fell from 1.9 million in 2003-2007 to 819,000 in 2008-2012, a drop of 57 percent. + The top states for Mexican migration shifted noticeably between the 2003-2007 and 2008-2012 periods. + Mexicans migrating to the United States tend to have higher socioeconomic status, are older, are more likely to be women, have greater English-language fluency, and are somewhat less likely to be connected to the workforce than Mexicans who migrated in the early to middle 2000s.
