At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora - Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money.

With the price of oil going through the roof, the criminals that run the government of Mexico should be flush with cash enough to take care of returnees.

Did they have any commment about the border patrol agent killed by a Mexican drug smuggler and able to escape because there was no fence to stop him???

True enough. But Mexico is running out of oil, its big field is in decline. [The chief executive of Mexico state oil monopoly Pemex, said the company expects production at its Cantarell oil field to decline by an average of 14 percent a year between 2007 and 2015.]

Mexico is using more oil internally and will have less to import.
