So this person was making an attempt to prove that there is no such thing as a #MexicanHegemony based on the larger number of Mexican nationals deported by the U.S. in 2016. Allow me to amplify the issue a bit... 
1) Unlike the Mexican migration experience, Central American migrants have to contend with TWO whole nation state apparatuses acting against their migration. So in 2016, sure the U.S. deported 149,821 Mex. nationals, but the U.S. & Mex together deported 226,507 Central Americans
2) Even speaking solely in terms of the U.S., relative to their respective U.S.-based population sizes, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, and Honduran communities experience higher deportation rates than their Mexican counterparts.
