Type of People and Impact On Mexican Society
Generally, the people who tend to leave the country are from lower-class backgrounds from all Mexico. But especially come from the following states: Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Guerrero, San Luis PotosĂ, Hidalgo, Chiapas. In these states is not uncommon to see towns where men are absent, and supposed to be working in the United States. While the women take care of their children, husbands send money (dollars) to their families in Mexico. This money, sent by Mexican workers abroad to their country, is called the Spanish "remesas", and the amount of it have become the second income that Mexico receives from other countries. (The first one is oil sales)
On the other hand, people from the middle-upper class emigrate to parts in the U.S. with few Mexican population like Canada and European countries; they're usually employed by companies, universities, or many of them start their own businesses abroad.
Traditionally, richer people with overwhelming income used to live in Mexico, but recent economic opportunities and advantages with international treaties, harassing, and threatening insecurity have made them leave the country.

“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”

“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
