[The Purge] Why don't people go to Mexico/Canada before the purge occurs and then come back once it ends?

Money.

The wealthy probably do, easily, as do reasonably well off people at the borders. Maybe even some of the middle class further towards the centre of the nation. And that's fine. They're meant to survive the purge anyway.

But there are those who don't have passports, or cars, or the ability to pay for a place to stay for the night, or simply the stability to miss a day of work. 

And those are the people who are meant to die in a purge. So they stay there and die.
