There's a net deficit in Mexican migration to the U.S. and has been for years Maggot; more Mexicans are leaving the U.S. than coming in. I know that's been pointed out to you before.
Over the last several years, immigration spikes are due primarily to unaccompanied teens and parents with children coming to the U.S. to escape Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Things aren't getting better in those countries in terms of violence, poverty and corruption. So, U.S. politicians will need to start working more closely with those governments to address the root of the mass migration. I heard Pompeo just started laying the ground work in Central America; I hope that's true and he makes progress.
But, yeah, it would be great if Mexico's new president can help solve some of the country's problems and make it a more stable place to live in the least fortunate regions of Mexico. If so, expect an even bigger net deficit in Mexican migration to the U.S. and more Central American migrants opting to apply for asylum or legal immigration in Mexico.
The new Mexican president is a very weird dude; some similarities to Trump in terms of populist rhetoric, but more to the left. I really hope President AMLO does well for the Mexican people. If he fails and Mexico destabilizes to the point it was over 10 years ago, expect more Mexicans attempting relocation to the U.S. (assuming the U.S. remains more economically stable and safer than Mexico overall).
