easy for people to cross that border.
Why Mexico?
For many years, Mexicans have been migrating to the United States of America (US) in order to have better jobs and hopefully better pay as well. Mexico has a big population and jobs are limited. Mexicans that find it harder to find jobs tend to come from less fortunate families with financial problems. with a limited education, it is harder for them to find a job in their homeland. Therefore, many Mexicans resort to migration to the US in hope of finding a job in order to support their families. However, many are unable to afford migrating to the US legally. as a result, they find illegal ways to cross the border.
Why USA?
The US economy has been booming, in fact is one of the leading economies in the whole world. As compared to Mexico, their economy is much more developed, and there are a lot more jobs available in the US. The US citizens are also better educated than the Mexicans, and many of them would find jobs with higher pays, instead of jobs like construction work or janitors. Many of such jobs are hence taken up by people who have not received much education, namely Mexican immigrants.
