WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) -- The number of Mexican migrants coming to the United States is continuing its recent sharp decline, a Pew Hispanic Center analysis indicated Wednesday.
In a study of government data from both countries, the center concluded in an analysis released Wednesday that the Mexican-born population in the United States, which had been growing earlier in the 2000s, stood at 11.5 million in early 2009 -- not significantly different from the 11.6 million Mexican immigrants in 2008 or the 11.2 million in 2007.
