Heh. I haven’t the slightest doubt that Obama is making plenty of native born Americans reconsider living in the US.

The media is insane. Once something becomes a STORY, they see it everywhere. There’s no way the recession has been going on long enough for there to be a perceptible effect among immigrants. Especially considering how much worse it likely is in their homeland.

“Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream.”
This is a parody. Right?

Do they continue to search for jobs in a struggling U.S. economy or return home to an even bleaker economic situation? Every cloud has a silver lining.

What preposterous, nonsensical lies!
Illegal aliens know all about welfare, free ER medical, lawsuits, and "where every lock that's not locked when no one's around".
When the media concoct a falsehood, and spread it around, and then start believing it themselves, the only applicable phase is "group hysteria".

The money sent back home by Mexican immigrants in 2008 fell . . . The remittances dipped 3.6 percent . . . Big deal. When it's 50 percent I'll be impressed.

None of these people are "immigrants". To be an "immigrant" you must have an immigration visa.
Now, about how the downturn affects the illegal aliens ~ they suffered severely from runs on several banks that then turned into FDIC rescue operations.
If you don't have legal status here your accounts are not insured.

What’s the problem here? Do I sense that the MSM is hurt by the fact that ILLEGAL people are leaving our country? If I am being insensitive by suggesting they illegals not let the ‘door’ hit their asses on the way past the border, then so be it.

Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket I'm a gringo, and even *I* can recognize a hokey hispanic pseudonym when I see one.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. "I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming."
"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
To: rightwingintelligentsia
Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala Thelma Gutierrez and Wayne Drash please report to the CNN diversity and language reeducation camp. The correct term is undocumented or just immigrant. Differently papered is also acceptable, as long as it is used in a non-ironic sense. < /I wish it was sarcasm>

I guess a dollar a day in Guatemala is better than welfare?

Not so. Immigrants without visas are still called immigrants, with the adjective “illegal” tacked on.

Probably just a Journalism Class assignment.
