It is not that no new people are coming in, just that the economic prospects aren't good, so that many are leaving. There were a lot of people who had Mexican citizenship only or dual citizenship, and it makes sense that some of them would find better prospects in Mexico.

Historically this is pretty much the norm for immigration.
