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.

Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
