High Brow Magazine suggests Mexico is the rising land of opportunity. Most of the MSM focuses on the violence south of the border, actually I would rather live there than any big city in the U.S., and they focus on the movement of people from south to north. There's another movement, however, and it's inbound migration.

A new study released this month by the Organization of American States (OAS) reported that the documented, foreign-born population in the country increased 45 percent from 2005 to 2010, reaching 850,000 people. Focusing on documented migrants, the OAS study reported that 65,000 immigrants came to Mexico in 2010 alone.

In terms of the national origin breakdown of new immigrants in the three-year period from 2007 to 2010, the study found that most came from the U.S. (10,472), seconded by Colombia (5,563) and followed by Guatemala (5,563). Cuba placed fourth on the list (4,871), Argentina fifth (4,242), Venezuela (3,950) sixth and Honduras seventh (3,755). Smaller populations of between approximately 1200 and 2100 people each hailed from El Salvador, Peru, Canada, Brazil, Chile, and China.

In Mexico, you can work from home and be warm, you can live where family is important, where it's a great place to raise kids, and it's a great place to retire.
