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.


Hi,
There are quite a few here in Alberta. Working on the farms/ranches. If
skilled, in the oil related industry. I just had home A/C annual check
up done and the tech was from Columbia who was very competent. He said
he used to work in Coca Cola plant down there. We have labor shortage
again for skilled workers, engineers.
