(NewsNation) — As officials at the U.S. southern border continue to cope with an influx of migrants flooding into the country from Mexico, data indicates that more Americans are also crossing over in the other direction.
Twice as many U.S. nationals migrated into Mexico over the first four months of 2024 as they did over the same period last year, according to data provided by the Mexican government and reviewed by Newsweek.
Newsweek reported that 625 U.S. residents migrated to Mexico between January 1 and April, compared to 323 during the first four months of 2023. Of those who made the move south, 407 were men compared to 218 women.
Another published report indicated that the number of Americans living permanently in Mexico has jumped by 69.9% between 2019 and 2022. In 2022 alone, the number of permits that grant Americans the right to reside in Mexico was the highest it has been since 2013 after 20,374 U.S. nationals made the move south, the report indicated.
