Illegal Immigrants Returning to Mexico in Record Numbers

DALLAS — Illegal immigrants are returning home to Mexico in numbers not seen for decades — and the Mexican government may have to deal with a crush on its social services and lower wages once the immigrants arrive.

The Mexican Consulate's office in Dallas is seeing increasing numbers of Mexican nationals requesting paperwork to go home for good, especially parents who want to know what documentation they'll need to enroll their children in Mexican schools.

"Those numbers have increased percentage-wise tremendously," said Enrique Hubbard, the Mexican consul general in Dallas. "In fact, it's almost 100 percent more this year than it was the previous two years."

Good news for both us and Mexico in the long run. These are the people who have the git-go to do things.

Self deported illegals, cool. Geraldo must be havin fits.

Legal immigrants are welcome in my book.

It’d be good for everyone if they started cleaning up their own country. Maybe if enough of them demanded it.....maybe...

We need more legal immigrants, IMO. I haven’t met a legal one who I was sorry to see be here.

They’re the cream of the crop and we need more like them.

It was never about 'we can't expect to deport 12 milion illegals', it was always, they got here on their own and they can get home on their own.

But common sense doesn't sell newspapers, or TV time.

You know here in Mexico, in the Valley of Mexico, near Toluca there is 6.5% growth in population this year. They expect 50,000 Baby Boomers from America, and many of those coming to Mexico have acquired job skills they learned in the US, and it is a good thing. Things are looking up here in the South. Come on DOWN.

I’d just about bet with the housing market having crashed (generally speaking) the construction industry here isn’t what it was. I doubt these people were here picking beans.

In fact, it's almost 100 percent more this year than it was the previous two years.

I have to say BS to this, unless of course the 100% increase means 2 mexicans went back to ol mexico as oposed to 1 that left 2 years ago, meanwhile a zillion have more have walked in.

That sounds interesting. I am in Ensenada at the moment. The best looking building in town was probably built with Al Capone’s cash a way back. Nice weather. I get a lot of work done.

How is the internet connection there? I am on Telnor Infinitum and it fades at times.
