Mexican Immigration to U.S. Reverses: More Leaving To Return Home Than Arriving

Wall Street Journal ^ | 11/19/2015 | Miriam Jordan

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Yeah, total BS.

[FlipWilson]

Translation: We at the Wall Street Journal of Cheap Labor have been unable to derail the Trump express. Thus, we will sprinkle some magic fairly dust and pray to unicorn gods to abra cadabra evaporate the rationale for Trumps rise.

So you rubes, no need to vote for Trump anymore, the cheap labor is going home. But have you considered Jeb?

[GeronL]

Nope. The Mexican consulates that conveniently provide multiple identifications in different names allow Mexicans in the US to vote in their elections without leaving.

[Pearls Before Swine]

“Caramba, this place is full of illegals! Too crowded, I’m going home!”

[marron]

Migration of Mexicans to the U.S. has plunged to a net negative for the first time since the 1940s

Which is why we have to bring in a million Syrians, otherwise how are we ever going to meet our quota?

[marron]

What they are saying is that they have found ways to bring illegals in legally. If they don’t call you illegal, then you don’t get counted as illegal.

[kabar]

We don’t know what we don’t know.

[Andy'smom]

I’m skeptical there are less Mexicans, but even if there is we have plenty of others breaking in from other Central American countries.

[dfwgator]

“Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agreed. Perhaps the “elites” are getting nervous due to the “plebs” becoming restless due to mis-governance? They want to make us feel good.

So, the economy is going great guns, but the Mexicans are returning home? Liberal media heads are exploding over this one, but the fact is that many (most, probably) of the Mexican, Central and South American illegal immigrants came because the socialists had wrecked their economies at home, not because they sought freedom and opportunity. Now that our socialist has all-but wrecked our economy, they are leaving.

Not that I was a huge Romney fan, but it appears that his "self deportation" would have worked. And his calling Russia the biggest geo-political threat (only to be mocked by Obama and the media) turned out to be more right than anyone else at that time. I can't help but think that if some of the conservative Christians that stayed home because he wasn't "pure" enough, we might be in a better position now. (Flame retardant suit on, even though I realize Romney was not a Conservative, but was only conservative on some issues).

"BS meter is going to eleven"

Not necessarily. I think the Hispanics immigrating illegally today are NOT from Mexico, but points further south. Mexico is currently considered one of the "has" nations.

[MotorCityBuck]

Exactly!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Open borders WSJ/Fox Murdoch is only here for the money.

I wish I could deport the SOB

[TADSLOS]

I'm shocked. I thought they went home to make Christmas tamales.

[RetSignman]

That article, if nothing else, provides comic relief for it’s obvious attempt at distraction from the truth.

[Iron Munro]

BS meter is going to eleven

[Sybeck1]

Don’t some go home for Christmas?

[A CA Guy]

Maybe going home for Holidays then back to the USA for the birth of their 5th child on us.
