        mexican migrants often take lower paid unskilled jobs because the wages can often be 7 times better paying than for the same job in mexico this benefits the U.S. economy as these migrants will often fill the jobs middle class americans won't take
        
        legal mexican migrant are working and paying taxes which helps increase investment in local infrastructure and social spending
      - Disadvantage
        
        whenever there is an unemployment crisis in the U.S. and american citizens have to take these lower paying unskilled jobs a perception is formed that the migrants are taking their jobs
        
        migrants often work for lower prices because they would be drastically lower in mexico however, americans are then forced to work the same jobs with less pay as a result causing pressure to build on poor americans
        
        some companies are replacing american labour with migrant labour as they often take cheap salaries causing an increase in unemployment in the american citizens population.
        
        migrants often send the money that they earn back to their family in mexico as remittance meaning the money is not spent in america. this impacts the U.S.'s economy as there is less money being spent on american products and less purchase tax being raised
    - - Advantage
        
        the introduction of mexican culture and traditions have been very successful with many mexican restaurants opening in america. this integration has caused more diversity in america
        
        with such a large number of mexican migrants not speaking english, spanish is now being taught as a language in school, this eases tensions created by language barriers and widens the language skills of the younger generation increasing potential job opportunities
        
        the introduction of young healthy workers help to offset the pensions taken out by the ageing U.S. population
      - Disadvantage
        
        integration into american communities has been difficult and often if mexican immigrants stick together their english skills remain low
        
        there are some concerns that immigrants are increasing crime rate in the areas they move to. low income and poor education are some of the factors that lead to crime. with strong drug trafficking industries in mexico americans are worried mexican immigrants have links to those industries
    - - overall in U.S. politics many in government have been opposed to this immigration and have created policies directly making it harder for Mexican migrants to enter the U.S. and even to stay there.
