From Frontera NorteSur (FNS): on-line, U.S.-Mexico border news Center for Latin American and Border Studies New Mexico State University Las Cruces, New Mexico:
“Two new studies have reconfirmed the central place of migration in Mexican life. In a new report, the World Bank ranked Mexico as the number one expeller of economic migrants in the world, even ahead of Russia and India. According to the World Bank, 11.5 million Mexico citizens have left their homeland, principally for the United States. Relatively unskilled migrants are not the only ones making the trek north. The World Bank reported that while 2.4 percent of doctors in all of Latin America have emigrated, more than double the percentage of Mexican doctors, or 5 percent, have left their country. The World Bank defines the 2,000-mile border between Mexico and the United States as the biggest “migration corridor” in the world. In its study, the World Bank found that 10.3 million migrants crossed the border zone in a five-year period, putting the region far ahead of the next largest corridor, Russia-Ukraine, where 4.8 million people crossed in a similar time period.”*
