“So it looks like the ones going back are the productive ones, the ones staying are more likely to be the ones feeding on the public trough.”

100% would be best, but I’m all for any of them going back, productive or not.

[[years of anti-immigrant policies by the Trump administration]]

BS- illegals and legal immigrants get so many freakin perks here there is no way they are moving out- many screw the government for all it’s worth, gettign as much as $45,000 PER YEAR as they exploit every perk they can get- Free schooling, Free college if the left get their way, driver’s liscences, can’t be pulled over by police because of ‘profiling’ pc crap- they are given stolen SS cards- on and on and on it goes-

I’m sure they are just itching to get back to the crapfest they left in mexico- Yep sure-

Hey guardian, pull yer head out your butt!

There are just to many BOO friggin’ HOO lines in this article to quote.

This one is too tempting though:

“Things aren’t perfect in Mexico,” Figureo said in Spanish. But at least there’s access to healthcare, and some unemployment benefits for those who need it, he added. “In comparison to what it was in the US, the situation for us in Mexico right now is much better.”

Go back to beanerville and get you some free chit then Jose.

Automation/robotics/AI are vacuuming up the jobs mexicans can do. They can run back to mexico, but there won’t be jobs there either.
If robots can do this:

They can do anything a mexican can do.

“100% would be best, but I’m all for any of them going back, productive or not.”

I on the other hand would gladly exchange the hard working Mexicans, etc. for an equal number of “Americans” perpetually on the dole.

Opinions differ. I don’t want any illegals here, and I wouldn’t exchange any American citizens for any of them - even the citizens I detest.

“Opinions differ”

They sure do. There are millions of “Americans” that loathe this country and millions more who simply sit on their asses and collect welfare checks. We need them like we need a hole in the head.

You think that being a citizen somehow bestows you some noble qualities? And citizenship has been so devalued that it hardly means anything anymore.

I think being a citizen bestows the right to be here, including those who sit on their asses and collect welfare checks. You think being a “hard worker” bestows the right to sneak into the U.S. and live here?

I would prefer to send away the spoiled white kids who destroy statues and spit on cops at BLM riots. They have less respect and appreciation for this country than most Mexican illegals.

I scanned the article from the lefty-left "news" paper.

It dedeitfully portrays illegal aliens as victims rather than criminals, of course.

It is nonsense that they would ever leave permanently, if I understand correctly, they have a great deal going under gavin newsom.

combined with years of anti-immigrant policies by the Trump administration

President Trump's policies have had zero impact on California where they've largely been ignored. Don't try to pin this on Trump.

i am just observing that several of my california gringo friends, former work colleagues and acquaintances have chosen to retire to Mexico, either part time or full time. apparently the lack of ability to own land is offset by the nice climate and the relatively high standard of living that one can achieve there on a relatively modest retirement income. at times, i am tempted myself.

If immigrants are spreading Covid, then this is a good thing. Let them go spread it in Mexico.
