That's exactly how I've considered it since like 30 years ago.
Until a few years ago, I've lived in Mexico for 2 decades and I've always felt more afraid for my safety while in the US visiting, than in Mexico, even though there we had (and still have) a drug war. There are less guns in the street there and as long as you stay out of drugs I'd claim you're safer there than in the US.
I've been in many poor places in Mexico but never have I seen so much homelessness and neglect as I've seen in the US.
Also access to medical healthcare is better there. Almost all doctors there studied in the US, they got loads of free or cheap medications and consults. It's always "funny" to see the same people wanting a border wall going to Mexico for cheap healthcare.
Don't get me wrong,Mexico is far from perfect (like every country) but given the choice: Mexico or USA, I'll choose Mexico every time.
With the rampant corruption there as well, I consider the US more a third world country than I do Mexico. Viva Mexico!
