DENVER – After going months without a full-time job, Daniel Ramirez has decided it's time to return to family in Mexico.

Vicenta Rodriguez Lopez says she can't afford to live in Colorado any more because her husband was deported.

Roberto Espinoza is going back, too. After 18 years as a mechanic for a General Motors dealership in Denver, his work permit wasn't renewed and he didn't want to remain in the country illegally.

Some Mexicans leaving U.S., planning never to return, yeah right!

[Frantzie]

We wish. Hopefully they will take all the illegal Brazilians and Cuban-American amnesty supporter Mel Martinez, Senorita Linday Grahamo and Juan McCain plus Jorge Bush.

Interestingly, "Opus" is the same word in English and Spanish.

That’s three. What about the rest? How many came north across the border at Bush’s invitation while I was typing this?

Good, take a couple of guatemalans and hondurans and cubans with ya when ya leave.

With the economy/jobs situation so bad - they are leaving. There was never a real love for America for many of them - only love of money. When that’s gone - they’re gone.

But - when the economy gets better. . . well - guess what’ll happen?

Espinoza said the recession's onset took him by surprise. He'll be seeing his country for the first time in nearly two decades. "I miss my country," said Espinoza, 34, who is returning to Guadalajara, Jalisco.

So this Espinoza hasn't been to Mexico in two decades--twenty years--but still calls it "his country"?!?!?! What is wrong with this freaking picture!?!?!?!?!

Thanks. Always nice to read a “good news” story on a Sunday morning.

The Onion?

One less Mexican means one more American employed.

[Tennessee Nana]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is that a promise ???????

[swatbuznik]

The potential socialism is getting so thick, it’s even too much for the Mexicans?

[lefty-lie-spy]

Don’t let the tumbleweeds hit you on the way out.

No deja la puerta les golpear las nalgas cuando salgan.
