No mouthpiece in Washington is a more reliable one for crazy leftists in the Democrat Party than the Washington Post, which is out with yet another head-scratcher on illegal immigration.
The story not only reminds us how far out of their depth these people are when they try covering illegal immigration accurately, it also reminds us how hilariously obtuse they are about their own fake news and biases.
“In the wake of new enforcement policies announced by the Trump administration last week that dramatically expand the pool of undocumented immigrants targeted for deportation, Mexico is bracing for an influx of men and women like them,” Antonio Olivo reports from Mexico City. “Their arrival — along with a surge of undocumented immigrants leaving the United States voluntarily — promises to transform Mexican society in the same way their departure did.”
Interesting here how disruptive all these legal Mexicans returning to Mexico is considering how we have been told for years now that all the illegal Mexicans streaming illegally into our country is no big deal and if you think it is disruptive then you are a xenophobe.
We shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for Mr. Olivo to be branded as some kind of callous “alt-right” racist. . .

Mexican deportees doing jobs Mexicans won’t do.
get em out - time to Make Mexico Great Again
Too bad the Washington Post doesn’t worry as much about We The People, ya think? Traitors one and all, IMO.
but it is fine for them to lower the wages here I guess is their unspoken intention.
Washington Post worries deported illegals will lower wages in Mexico
Have these "illegals" lower wages and/or diminished the earning capacity of legal residents of the USA?
but but but the Dems say that illegals don’t affect wages...
Mexico just needs to adopt a $10 per hour minimum wage (rather than their current $10 per day). Then all those illegal aliens will be able to go home and earn a living wage.
That’s how it works, right?
Flooding a labor market does reduce wages.
That’s why the GOP would not do anything about the illegal alien inundation.
Let me understand this. Their presence in the U.S. does not depress wages but their return to Mexico will. Did I get that right? How does that work?
Their arrival will have the same effect as their departure??? How, pray tell, can that be possible? Only in the fevered imaginations of leftists.
Why doesn’t the compost worry about Americans having jobs?
(Rhetorical question)
Well, they can move the entire newsprint operation across our southern border and rename it the Mexico City Post.
Otherwise, they should focus their concerns on disseminating the truth, criticizing both sides of the aisle, and doing away with trying to lay their white guilt on those of us whites who aren’t guilty of those things which the lefties find uncomfortable to them.
I despise the people at the Washington Post.
That’s something only a dumbass liberal would think....
Mexico’s economic problems will come home to roost. It is time they make their economy available to everyone—not just the elite, light-skinned class whose ancestors come from the Spanish conquerors.
Whiners, both the sobbing leftists and the "free market" loudmouths, have completely destroyed normal feedback the labor market in the US provides people who want to improve their lives by finding a better job.
At the low end, the combined effects of a surplus of labor and welfare without limits makes it unlikely someone would work a low wage job if they can avoid it and in addition makes it less likely they can find such a job because there are too many illegals in the labor pool who can only do the lowest paid jobs and often are willing to work off the books for half the minimum wage. Hire someone legally and there's workman's comp, SS, and the minimum wage. Hire an illegal and do whatever you like with your slave labor.
Just as bad, or worse, is the H1B program that distorts the actual demand for skilled labor and makes it seem less appealing to study to get a better job in several fields when every day you read about people in those fields being replaced by foreign workers. We need an America First market rather than our absorbing the surplus students from India and Asia.
Free traitors are really saying they want to distort the very system they say will make things right. It's a short term greed play, that's all, not any real desire for Free and Fair Trade.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross Hints At Brilliant NAFTA Negotiation Strategy – “Make Mexico Great Again”… . Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross hints at a strategy for NAFTA renegotiation with Mexico that completely annihilates any leftist opposition, and simultaneously drops the greatest humanitarian narrative right in the lap of the globalists. Make Mexico raise their minimum wage.
e owe Mexicans a living? If they had stayed where they belong perhaps wages would be lower already.
Fair Trade is by necessity Government Managed Trade and comes with all the petty interferences and controls and inefficiencies of any government managed anything. Free trade with controlled borders and no welfare and low or no business taxes and few regulations allows Americans to be what Americans have been for a century and more i.e. the most productive workers on earth per unit of input. That means a $15 an hour American (market rat $15, not union) produces more than 15 $1 per hour Malaysians. Businesses and industry would flood back into this country and employment would soar causing rising wages.
