Improving Mexican economy draws undocumented immigrants home from California

[The Northerner]

There are fewer undocumented immigrants in California – and the Sacramento region – because many are now finding the American dream south of the border.

"It's now easier to buy homes on credit, find a job and access higher education in Mexico," Sacramento's Mexican consul general, Carlos González Gutiérrez, said on Wednesday. "We have become a middle-class country."

Mexico's unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, compared with 9.4 percent joblessness in the United States.

An estimated 300,000 undocumented immigrants have left California since 2008, though the remaining 2.6 million still make up 7 percent of the population and 9 percent of the labor force, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

1. How long before

the Repukes are screaming we need to build a wall to keep these people in because they no longer can find help around the house?

2. Mexico might want to build a wall, being that we're slowly down turning

into a 3rd world country. Thank to the RW'ers

4. Pretty soon,

Mexico will be the one with an immigration "problem" and a porous border.

5. Lots of vacancies in the low-cost apartment buildins in my neighborhood.

It's an exodus, a real exodus.

These are not foreclosures. Those moving our are low-wage earners who never had enough to dream of buying a house.

6. So that's the Teapublican strategy

If the U.S. economy, environment, et al., is in shambles, all the "Illegals" will go home. Then we can live in peace ... filthy, squalid, unemployed peace
