Until it's actually safe to live in Central America and people are able
to make a living doing honest work there, we're going to continue to have
a problem.

I keep hearing that the net Mexico-USA migration is towards Mexico now.

It certainly was, starting a little after the recession started.

Now that the recession is pretty much over, I would think things
could reverse again, although of course they have to make it into the
country again. No small feat.

If that's correct, are the numbers over-ridden by immigration from
Central America ?

I don't know but I don't think the Central American numbers are as
great as the Mexican.

I've heard that when NAFTA was passed, the North American Free Trade
Act, it cost some/quite a few Americans their manufacturing jobs as
Mexicans did it cheaper, but the corn farms in the midwest with their
enormously efficient farm machinery could raise corn a lot cheaper,
and this stopped 10's of thousands of Mexicans from making a living on
the small farms they owned or worked, and that that's why there was
such a burst of Mexicans entering the US after NAFTA.

Googling, these, written in 2014 and 2012, says that very thing:
