For most of the seventy years after the Mexican Revolution, most international Mexican migrants were male rural workers who moved alone with the objective of having a short stay abroad in order to improve their own household economy (Goméz de León and Tuirán, 2000). Certainly, many decided to settle in the United States, but the greater part returned to Mexico where their families had stayed. Often, the process had an inter-generational cycle including multiple international trips of fathers on their own, then joined by sons, and then replaced by their sons. During decades, the migrant cycle flow had a specific function: rural workers in Mexico could have an opportunity to improve their income and, at the same time, the American agricultural market got some big benefits with this workforce supply.
