While Americans panic about how to curtail Mexican immigration into their country, recent data shows that U.S. citizens have no reservations about leaving their homes and moving south of the border.

As of 2010, “net” immigration from Mexico to the United States reached zero. That of course does not mean that no Mexicans are emigrating north. It means that the same number, or even more Mexicans left the U.S. in that time than came in.

In fact, data shows, from 2005 to 2010, 1.4 million Mexicans moved to the United States while approximately the same number who were already living in the U.S. pulled up stakes and went home.

But the rate of Americans permanently relocating to Mexico just keeps rising, according to government statistics cited by the New York Times.

There are now about 70,000 Americans living legally in Mexico. That figure does not include the American children of Mexican parents who returned home, taking their kids with them.
