Mexico City – The number of Mexican emigrants who opted to return to their homeland from the United States increased sharply over the past five years to almost 1 million, according to census data.

The deputy secretary of Population, Migration and Religious Affairs, Rene Zenteno Quintero, told a press conference that that figure was 2.7 times higher than the amount registered in Mexico's 2000 census.

The exodus of Mexicans to the United States has likewise been reduced, "seen in a net zero balance between emigrants and immigrants who return to Mexico, meaning we're experiencing a historic moment," he said.

The official also referred to a recent National Occupation and Employment Survey that shows a 70 percent decline in the rate of emigration over the past four years.

Could it be true...?

[rovenstinez]

In Mexico, wages are up, there are jobs, and it´s not a bad place to live. Just don´t do drugs, sell drugs, report on drug lords..and life is pretty tranquil.

[Rennes Templar]

No jobs for them either.

“The number of Mexican emigrants who opted to return to their homeland from the United States increased sharply over the past five years to almost 1 million, according to census data.”

Great. Only 19 more million to go.

At our plant here in Alabama we saw 8% of our employment quit after the new law. 100% of the 8% were Latino.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I sure hope this is a sign of things to come, I am building a life and future for my family here in Texas, it saddens me to think that someday we might have to abandon it all and turn it over the the invading hordes.

I don’t believe it. This is CYA for Perry. Build the damn wall now!

Hey Floridavoter2,
U know after each Easter here I’n Florida we see thousands of
snowbird vehicles heading north on I-95.
we always say good riddance and please take two more with u when
U leave.
Same holds true for all those wet backs heading south,
Take two more with u.

[floridavoter2]

I would guess the article is mostly true. I mean, if there are no jobs here, and if working conditions are slightly better in Mexico than before, then its a plausible scenerio.

A visit to my local Academy and Home Depot, this past week, indicates this report isn't 100% correct.

Why would you leave a country that gladly provides free healthcare, excellent free education (comparatively) and other "assistance"?

[Lazamataz]

U r txtin 2 much.

Pls stop usin phn & go back 2 kybd.

[freekitty]

They are all over here.

[TomGuy]

increased sharply over the past five years to almost 1 million,

One Million in 5 years? That is roughly 200,000 a year. Hardly a drop in the bucket to the estimated 40 million that are here.

You forgot to add ... "And don't come back with the hundreds of millions of dollars you pump into our economy."
They don't call it Flori-duh for nothin'.

The only critter more FOS than an American politician is a Mexican one.

Now is the time, with unemployment sky high, to facilitate and encourage self deportation.

Nah, we still have 20 million. According to the report there are as many leaving as coming in.
