This chart tracks how the share of foreign-born residents has changed across advanced economies since 1990. The data for this visualization comes from the United Nations.

I wonder if that's due to government policy or if Mexico's reputation for drug cartels is a deterrent for migrants?

The country's unemployment rate is low. It's a warm climate, which could be attractive to retirees. For Spanish-speakers in particular, you'd think there would be some interest.
