Education fuels educated Mexican migration northward
Mexico's middle class seeks better wages in the United States as professionals abandon studies to cross the border. Juan Manuel Guillermo, 22, travels toward Santa Ana after his son required costly surgery, illustrating how many educated Mexicans join the flow. Data from Rodolfo Tuiran and a Georgetown University report note that about 700,000 of roughly 10.6 million Mexicans in the U.S. hold college degrees, with migrants from Mexico City's, Guadalajara's and Monterrey's metro areas crossing faster than rural counterparts.
