Mexico already tried communism back in their 1917 revolution, and it failed so miserably that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ultimately regressed to the traditional-style corrupt feudalism prevalent throughout the Latin-American world. The concept of economic and political freedom through the inalienable rights with which our Creator endowed each individual remains confined almost exclusively to the Anglosphere--Britain, America, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and various other countries that have received extensive guidance from the foregoing (such as Japan and Germany).
But the Mexicans are fleeing a relatively successful country in the scheme of world affairs largely because it has (at least in the northern states) abandoned many communistic vestiges and begun to adopt capitalism and prosper. Its citizens flee northward because Mexico remains deeply corrupt and riddled by criminal gangs including narcoterrorists. But many Mexicans, especially in the southern states, remain enslaved to unflinching communistic economic policies. In a few southern states, even persecution of Christians occasionally flares. (Mexico persecuted Catholics extensively in the decades following the Communist revolution but scaled back the assault on the Church to quell the popular Christero rebellion.) The Mexican government nevertheless still exercises communistic control over large sectors of the economy, greatly hindering the prosperity of the Mexican people.
Communism will not cure Mexican ills; it only exacerbates the problems and returns the country to its worst years of discontentment and rebellion.

The majority of the 11 million or so illegal aliens in the US are Mexicans. This from a country of only 100 million - almost 6% of the entire population.
This is a stunning indictment of Mexico's failure to care for its own. Mexico is exporting their own unemployment and poverty to the US.
