International Migration. Many people now are internationally migrating (moving country to country). Mexico (the source country) is moving to the USA (the host country).

Many Mexicans want to go to the USA because there are many positive aspects for the Mexicans.  There is very good health care at 360 patients per doctor also the good health care has shown in the average life expectancy of 76.  The USA education is very good with a literacy rate of 99%. The better education gives people better jobs giving them higher wages with an average salary of 50,000 per year. There are also jobs that cater for everyone even for the 1% illertacy people in the USA and for the many in Mexico.

The host country (USA) has many effects on their country by taking in Mexicans. The negative aspects on the country are the unskilled Americans find it hard to get jobs because many of the Mexicans have taken away their jobs. The wages are also kept low which effect how much the Americans earn.   The country also ends up having a lot of racism and fights.  The illegal immigration is seen as a drain on the American economy due to the costs of border control, and do not pay taxes.

The positive effects on the host country are the Mexican will work with low paid wages which makes the business have a better profit.  The Mexicans are willing to do low quality jobs that the American are not willing to do. Also many cultural aspects are brought into the families e.g. food, language and music.  

The source country (Mexico) has many negative aspects.  There is large scale depopulation in many towns and villages.  Many men migrate which means there are many women in the country and is a difficulty to find people to marry to and also there are not enough men to do the hard labour jobs. The country is also left with the very old and very young because many of the young strong people are the ones who migrate.  The rural areas in Mexico have not got many economically active people e.g. doctors, teacher etc.

The Positive effects on the source country are they send back remittances which means sending back money to Mexico.  Immigrants have sent back around $20 million a year to Mexico.  This money can support a better standard of living and helps boost the economy because they are now spending more money on quality food, health care and education.
