Default Even Mexicans are leaving the US these days

I sure am glad you people are between us and Mexico.

====================================

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...der-fence-to-/

After long enough, living and working and trying to eke out bare
survival in America becomes even worse than trying to get by in
Mexico.

A new study from the highly esteemed Pew Hispanic Center says the
millions of Mexicans who risked their lives crossing the desert to get
here to the promised land for a better life have given up on the U.S.

This is no small feat. Have you ever been to Mexico? Not the ritzy
beach towns with the gated resorts, but Nuevo Laredo? The dusty
streets are filled with bony children selling gum and candy for just
a few spare pennies.

Authors of the Pew report call the stunning shift in migration
patterns historic. Not since the Great Depression, they say, has a
shift of this magnitude occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border. Not
since the Great Depression?

So the Mexicans have quit coming to the hopeless part of North
America. Canada is just too far to walk.


Part of this is that the Feds are deporting twice as many as they did under
Bush.
