Internal migration in Mexico

The New York Times runs an interesting piece on how internal migration is affecting smaller Mexican towns. "The United States is simply not the magnet it once was. Arrests at the United States’ southwest border in 2011 fell to their lowest level since 1972, confirming that illegal immigration, especially from Mexico, has reached what experts now describe as either a significant pause or the end of an era."
