I think what he's saying is that Mexicans are coming not so much for jobs, but for the chance to own something where there is a piece of paper that says they own it, and that because of that piece of paper, they don't have to spend all their time worrying about protecting what they own.
If Mexico were to begin a path to formal, legal property rights, and then enforce it, Mexicans would be perfectly happy to stay in Mexico.

I think more fundamentally the author is saying that the Mexicans come here for jobs because there are no jobs in Mexico, and there are no jobs in Mexico because there is no true economy, and there is no viable economy because there are no stable, enforceable private property rights.

So,to finish, I'm agreeing with what you said:
If Mexico were to begin a path to formal, legal property rights, and then enforce it, Mexicans would be perfectly happy to stay in Mexico.
