FIGUEROA-HERNANDEZ, Esther y PEREZ-SOTO, Francisco. The establishing process of Mexican migration in the United States. Pap. poblac [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.68, pp.161-190. ISSN 2448-7147.
There is a reconfiguration process of Mexican migration to USA. Today, Mexican migrant population represents about 11 million people which mean almost 11 percent of the total population in Mexico. Ejecting centers are still rural areas in the Mexican bajio (lowlands), however urban areas have been incorporated as well as areas from south south-east of the country with high levels of indigenous people. In terms of gender, it is balanced, 56 percent male and 44 percent female. In respect to destination, Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Indiana are still important, but now Mexican immigrants are a great majority in 43 states of the Union. Traditional cross points have lost importance and others such as Altar Sonora, Sonoyta, Agua Prieta and Ciudad Juarez have appeared with a higher level of dangerousness for migrants and a high demand for coyotes to cross the border.
