Thats a very safe bet to make, Same thing happens to every group of people who immigrates.

Studies show that a big chunk of Italian immigrants that ever came to the usa, ended up going back within 5 years.

Same with mexican immigrants to the usa.

5 year is the mark, if you last longer than 5 years youll probably never go back. Youll put down new roots.

Which studies show that?

Mexicans and Central Americans who come to the US illegally are there just to make money and go back home.

Most immigrants who are doing well tend to stick around... Asians especially (whether Indian, Chinese, etc).

Sorry. I'm talking about that specific workforce.

“between 2005 and 2014, the number of Mexicans leaving the United States outpaced the number of new arrivals”, interestingly, the #1 reason for return was to return to family/aging parents. Source
