1. Mexico- USA

   • Reasons
     • Many Mexicans from rural communities migrate to America, the majority being males who move to America and then send money back to their families in Mexico.
     • There are incredibly high crime rates in Mexico, especially in the capital.
     • Unemployment and poverty is a major problem in Mexico and has risen exponentially in recent years.
     • The climate and natural hazards in Mexico could force people to move to America. Mexico is a very arid area which suffers from water shortages even in the more developed areas of Mexico. The country also suffers from natural disasters including volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes & tsunamis.
   • consequances on host country
     • There are concerns that immigrants are increasing crime rates in areas that they migrate to. Mexico is a country associated with drug trafficking, there are concerns that Mexican migrants could be smuggling drugs into America, creating the problem of drug related crimes.
     • The fact that most of the mexicans don't leaner to speak english and stay within their little community can create tension with the americans and the lead to segregation,crime and violence.
     • Spanish is now taught at school , which can widen opportunities for the youth.
   • consequances on country of origin
     • With so many young people leaving Mexico, its developing an increasingly dependant population as the majority of people left are the elderly who can not work. Furthermore, the lack of young fertile couples is reducing the birth rate in Mexico, further increasing the dependency ratio as there is no workforce to pay taxes to support the elderly.
     • The majority of migrants leaving Mexico are males leaving a population with a high number of females. This is problematic as they are unable to find partners, get married and, in a mostly catholic country, have children (out of wedlock). This is, as mentioned above, reducing the birth rate and increasing the dependency ratio.
   • Effects on the migrants
     • Discriminated
     • will never overcome the status of a mexican , and will live their lives doing underwaged jobs (jobs that the americans don't want)
