I have a friend who works for the oil industry in Mexico. He's been telling me some pretty shocking things lately. The company he works for pays way above average wages for the area and no ones applying for jobs anymore. In the closest major city, people with good stable jobs (by Mexican standards) are walking off or taking vacation to attempt to cross the border.
Apparently it was slowed down by that wave of cold weather earlier in the month. It now accelerated to unseen levels. The locals all believe if they cross illegally soon they can get amnesty. There is no way to prove when someone crossed if they did it illegally. Also, the cartels are making huge profits off the situation.
