As the job market dries up in America, illegals are going back to Mexico. It’s an historic pattern: come to the U.S. to make more money, go back home when you’ve made enough, or there’s no money to be made.

BS. We had an amnesty in 1986. The USG estimated that 1 million would apply and the real number turned out to be 2.7 million. We now have 12 to 20 million illegals in this country and about 400,000 anchor babies born annually. There are also almost 11 million Mexicans living here. It is far better to be poor in America than poor in Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America.

It’s my opinion that we hear very little in the media about tens of millions of illegals coming here, and a whole lot about a few hundred that have returned to Mexico. And guess what, travel back across the border was always something that took place. So we’re not seeing that much out of the ordinary right now. The media is just blowing it out to take pressure off the illegals to go home. If the public is convinced it’s already taking place, they won’t demand it. The only thing is, they probably aren’t going back home in any actually significant numbers.
