Fascinating. The Mexican government doesn’t care that its people can’t be educated or gain employment there, but they care if someone in the US is about to be detained?

There is a seasonal migration of workers that return to Mexico after the harvest.

A large percentage of migrants crossing the southern US border are not Mexican citizens. I don't know the exact figures, but I do know that it is stupid to act like this is a Mexico problem.

It's partly a Mexico problem, just like it is partly a US problem. Like the US, Mexico has a southern border crisis. I (almost) never downvote, so on that front I have no idea what your are talking about.
