Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero—and Perhaps Less

I’ll let you all know when the million illegals who live in my immediate neighborhood decide to return home. Don’t anybody hold their breath.

[Grams A]

I don’t believe the study either. In the first place I do believe that the number of illegals has always far exceeded the few million any study claims. Returning to Mexico? Not in Texas. They have continued to pour over the border, cranking out more babies and taking over.

Bahlohneee..... Or Chorizo .....

[MasterGunner01]

And we know this exactly HOW?

Re: “Net Migration” Falls To Zero

So, the number of illegal Mexicans coming in EQUALS the number of illegal Mexicans going back.

And that’s portrayed as a victory?

[DoughtyOne]

Smoke and mirrors. Ask any of the service providers if they’re still under the gun for illegal immigrant services.

There are between 20 and 35 million illegals in the United States today. And if there aren’t, it’s because they have already been fast-tracked to citizenship.

No, they screwed up the economy even worse as a matter of national security. Now ElQaeda will have a harder time sneaking into the country, and all those Berlitz Spanish courses have gone to waste. There is a war on terror going on. And now we have more secure borders, because people are crossing in the opposite direction./s

I am happy to realize that the PEW people have a huge force of members standing at all points along our border (standing no more than 10 feet from each other) interviewing invaders from the south and illegals fleeing from the north back into Mexico, asking them questions on why they are either entering and leaving the U.S..

After all, that is the only way they could get their data for this amazing study....RIGHT?

What an accomplishment!

For anyone who believes this study, call me, for I have a business deal to speak to you about...and it can make you very wealthy without hardly any work what-so-ever...just a little “seed money.”

[DH]

that the invasion from the south will make whitey a minority by 2025

---

You got your date wrong...here in the southern border states whitey has been a minority and each year the ratio increases. Here in my town is South Texas we only constitute 15% of the population.

[chessplayer]

This ‘study’ isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. They are still pouring over the border into the US.

[mo]

Naaah, this is just trying to reassuringly soften up the public for the coming immigration legislation attempts this fall.

[rurgan]

This is BS. In this article it says that 286,000 illegals were apprehended in 2011. So there must be many times that number that made it into the U.S. illegally in 2011 at least a million.

Maybe less illegals Cause Obama has destroyed all jobs in the U.S.

“Apprehensions of Mexicans trying to cross the border illegally have plummeted by more than 70% in recent years, from more than 1 million in 2005 to 286,000 in 2011”

[AuntB]

If this is true, it’s only because they are ALL here already and no one wants to admit it!

[chessplayer]

The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including the weakened U.S. job and housing construction markets,

---

BS! Even if they can’t find work, they would still pour in for the freebies obama would give them.

[chessplayer]

Yup. They probably only manage to catch 1 out of 10,,,if that many.

[tbw2]

Isn’t Mexico’s unemployment rate lower than ours?

[W. W. SMITH]

The Rats wont be in a bind. Just because they went back to Mexico doesn’t stop them from voting.

[Chode]

[Rytwyng]

Obama has screwed up the country so badly, that even starving Mexicans no longer want to sneak in!
