“I think the massive boom in Mexican immigration is over and I don’t think it will ever return to the numbers we saw in the 1990s and 2000s,” said Douglas Massey, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University and co-director of the Mexican Migration Project, which has been gathering data on the subject for 30 years.

Nearly 1.4 million Mexicans moved from the United States to Mexico between 2005 and 2010,

I think this means the government will spend a lot of money to get them back.

Seems to me that we hear about illegals leaving every election year.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Each will probably receive a forclosed home and a free Cheby Bolt.

With all of the "boomers" retiring, the commie 'RATS were counting on the illegals to pay the Social Security bills. I wonder if the 'RATS have a Plan B.

[andyk]

Oh no! People who artificially depress wages and employment are leaving!

[Ronin]

We’re finally going to get our border fence, but all the guards and guns will be pointed north.

And they won’t be aimed at Mexicans leaving.

[RC2]

Unemployment in Mexico is only 4%. Go figure.

[huckfillary]

And?

[jazusamo]

Yep, call me skeptical. This revelation comes out at a most opportune time for Zer0, especially since he's restricted the deportation of so-called non criminal illegals.

They may be leaving but are still registered to vote. I’ve been reading the Asian Journal about these clowns still receiving green cards and citizenship applications even tho’ they have done the worst crimes.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

How do they know? My Home Depot looks the same to me.

[Brilliant]

And now Americans are trying to sneak across the border to Mexico.

[cripplecreek]

America.

For all your raping and pillaging needs.

[Gator113]

I don’t believe this for a single second.

Lies, lies and more DAMN LIES......

Our economy is on the way to wellness.

Unemployment is down and it is expected to get down to around 7.8% by sometime next year.

The war on terror is over.

The illegal alien problem has been resolved.

Blah, blah, blah fricking blah.

[digger48]

Now Zippy and the Dems will want to build that fence.

[ChocChipCookie]

A lot of American citizens are also packing up and leaving.

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh...they have all the names on a sign out sheet...right???

[Revolting cat!]

Short your stocks and sector funds in the leafblower industry!

[Freestate316]

One good thing comes out of the Obama regime! He has trashed the economy so badly that Mexico is the new land of opportunity! I’m sure that being in Mexico won’t stop them from voting for Obama in November.

[EGPWS]

Are the mooslimb radicals moving in scaring the mexicans out?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

So more Democrats are leaving the country than entering? That’s good news.
