Answer:

for money

Step-by-step explanation:

Many Hispanic people in mexico come to the us for money, food, and jobs. in mexico, there aren't many jobs that give the average citizen good pay so they come to the US and send part of their pay to their family in mexico, and use the rest to live in the states, and after about 10 years or so, they move back to Mexico if they have enough money. Some also come to escape violence or persecution (political and religious.)

Recent reports by the Pew Research Center (February 2012) indicate that the current migratory influx from Mexico to the U.S. is just below a net zero, as more Mexicans leave the U.S. Economic problems are, overall, the little stability of Mexican peso exchange rate compared to the United States dollar. Because of this, many Mexicans choose to leave their native country and look for better economic opportunities in the United States, and send dollars to their families in Mexico. For some, this is only a temporary stay in America while working. However, many others choose to permanently reside in the U.S. with their families.
