I do believe this. Mexico has been doing well lately. I read a year or two ago that Mexico’s economy has been growing faster than ours since 2009, so it is believable. The news stories about immigration the last couple of years have not been about Mexicans coming here, but Central Americans.

Yes, many Tucson stories about more Mexican middle-class shoppers crossing the border to buy things.

The new outlet mall in Marana, just North of Tucson on I-10 caters to Mexican shoppers -

From a post on gawker (and yes I know it's a left wing site):

A new study released by the Pew Research Center on Thursday reported that more than 1 million Mexicans and their families left the U.S. for Mexico from the years 2009 to 2014. Meanwhile, over the same period, a total of 870,000 Mexicans came to the U.S.

That, in the simplest of terms that even politicians can understand, means that over those five years, there was a net flow 140,000 people from the U.S. to Mexico. Many of the families leaving for Mexico, the study says, also included children born in the U.S. About 61 percent of the families who’d returned to Mexico responded to surveys saying that they were leaving to reunite with family.

Data like this is generally tricky to calculate, because there’s no official count of how many people come in and go out. But using a national household survey and census data from both countries, the research came up with pretty reliable count.
