<|assistant|>
Yes, there are more Mexicans in the United States now than there were 20 years ago. The population of Mexican immigrants in the United States has grown from 5.6 million in 1998 to 18 million in 2020, according to the Pew Research Center. The immigration wave has been driven in large part by increases in economic and social opportunities in Mexico and Central America and by an ongoing desire for many Mexican citizens to improve their families' lives through work in the U.S.
