Mexican immigrants
Newcomers from south
Mexican immigrants are people who have moved from Mexico to another country, typically the United States.
The term is straightforwardly descriptive but appears frequently in political discourse about immigration policy, border security, and labor: Mexican immigrants make up the largest foreign-born population in the U.S.
The phrase sometimes carries charged connotations depending on the speaker's stance on immigration.
