This paper discusses the growth in the numbers of skilled Mexican workers migrating to the US. The author questions whether this is a temporary trend produced by the recent crisis or an indication of future activity as advanced economies work to attract skilled migrants. He argues that the rate of skilled migration from Mexico is not high in comparison with skilled migration from other regions and countries, that the majority of recent increases are likely temporary, and that US immigration policy has not been a key factor underlying this phenomenon.
