"Wow!" said Roy Beck, executive director of Numbers USA, an immigration restrictionist group. "That is really big. It is a very good time for attrition through enforcement.

"Wow!" Said Owl_Eagle "I always thought Numbers USA was just against illegal aliens!"

It’s beginning to work, but we have a LONG, LONG way to go.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah. Right. It’s just about winter than this poll sounds like a con job.

a slowing U.S. economy, particularly in the construction industry.

I keep seeing this and I wonder where the construction industry is slowing. My son is an iron worker here in central Illinois and he works an awful amount of over time. Even in the winter when it's supposed to be slower.

Ya except if we do have a recession illegal immigration proponents will claim this is the reason...

"The employers are asking for Social Security numbers, proof of ID, stuff they know we don't have," Mr. Crespo said. "I could get some fake papers, but when you don't feel welcome anymore, why return to a place where they close the door on you?"

That is exactly the type of thinking we want. Strictly enforce the existing immigration laws and many will leave voluntarily.

“It” so far IS enforcement-lite without a completed wall. And we were told the “real full blown it” (employer enforcement and a wall) would not work. Guess it depends on your definition is “IS” is.

How long before Mexico sues the United States for causing this slowdown so as to discriminate against Mexicans?

Think I'm kidding??

Re: "Mexicans thinking twice about U.S. jobs, survey finds"

I'm sure that will change should a dimocrap attain the presidency in '09.

Two years earlier, that number was about 107,500. INEGI pollsters use a formula to make those estimates based on the percentage of Mexicans age 14 and older who said they would seek work abroad.

Abroad? Where is "abroad"?

What ever became of all the jobs we sent down there?

the dollar is worth 50% less - might have something to do with it,

1. Lots of South Americans (Ecuadorians and Peruvians especially) in Spain, Italy, and, to a lesser extent, France, due to the strong Euro and construction industry in said countries.

2. When I was in Madrid last week, I actually ran into an Evangelical Christian group comprised almost entirely of Mexicans. Mexicans are not as prevelent in Spain, or the rest of Europe, as other Latin American groups, so I thought this was an interesting development.

...showed a 30 percent drop from the third quarter of 2005 in the number of people planning to work abroad or to cross the border.

That's probably because there's not that many people left. Most of them are already here.

I was at WalMart tonight and saw a wealthy-looking hispanic couple getting out of an expensive SUV with huge graphics on the side in Spanish, offering “Immigration ID”, “Welfare Assistance”, “Money Transfers” to a number of Latin American nations (with flags), etc. Really made me burn to see these two making a mint off of illegal immigration and milking the system of we, the American Chumps.

[mtbopfuyn]

Hahahahahahahaha!!! Let’s have this survey again in about 4 months. BTW, I thought all illegals were so terrified of ICE that they were all hiding underground, so how is it they poked their heads out to be surveyed...

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Would-be immigrants may be staying home in significant numbers, a Mexican government survey says, “

Well they stole 250,000 construction jobs from Americans(many of them veterans) and construction is dead.....that would account for alot of the hesitant.
