When The Going Gets Tough The Illegals Get Going....

One positive aspect of a souring economy if there is one besides low gas prices which the terrorists at OPEC won't let last too long is that many illegals who have no allegiance whatsoever to this country, never did and never will are hitting the dusty trail right back to Mexico according to an article shown below.

Of coarse immigrants are always welcomed in America when they come here in the proper fashion and become participants in America and her customs, not come here to make money to send to other countries supporting their dead economies with our tax free money bankrupting our own public services across the country, particularly now.

So I guess since the well has run dry and all those easy to get for illegals Bank Of America home loans aren't available anymore, especially since the last democratic ordered batches have caused a world financial meltdown that the MSM blames on everything but the real culprits, illegal aliens and Democratic influence at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it's time to take the money or what's left of it and run leaving a banking mess and empty trashed homes littered across America with unpaid mortgages behind like Hurricane Katrina.

Well all I'll say about the upcoming exodus it's been nice not, and please don't let the barbed wire gates hit you in the ass on the way out and good riddance to the ILLEGAL ALIENS I say.

Some Mexicans leaving US, planning never to return -

Yahoo! News: "DENVER – After going months without a full-time job, Daniel Ramirez has decided it's time to return to family in Mexico.

Vicenta Rodriguez Lopez says she can't afford to live in Colorado any more because her husband was deported.

Roberto Espinoza is going back, too. After 18 years as a mechanic for a General Motors dealership in Denver, his work permit wasn't renewed and he didn't want to remain in the country illegally.

All are leaving Colorado in time for Christmas — joining a traditional holiday migration that will number almost 1 million people, says Mexico's interior ministry. But they have no intention of returning to Colorado, a place that promised prosperity.

Layoffs, dwindling job opportunities, anti-immigrant sentiment and the crackdown on illegal immigrants are forcing hard choices on many Mexican nationals in Colorado. Though not an exodus, some are returning to a nation they haven't seen in years.

'You despair. You think, 'I used to earn $600 a week and now I'm getting half of that a week?'' said Ramirez, 38, who lost his Denver construction job in August. He left last week, driving to San Luis Potosi in central Mexico."

Mexico's consul general in Denver, Eduardo Arnal, said more people like Ramirez are going home for good.

He cites a rise in applications for import tax exemptions by Mexican nationals bringing home their belongings. The consulate hasn't compiled statistics for 2008 but says it receives about three applications a day, compared to one per week in 2007.

"We've seen an increase in this service, which implies that there's a tendency among a larger number of Mexicans who are returning home definitively," Arnal said in an interview in Spanish.

Nationally, 1,809 Mexican immigrants filed for the exemption between January and August, compared to 1,447 the same period last year — a 25 percent increase, according to Mexico's foreign affairs ministry.

That's hardly an indicator of reverse migration, noted Carlos Rico, Mexico's undersecretary for North American affairs. Rico said what is known is that Mexicans are moving to other U.S. states — often places that historically have not seen a large population of Mexicans. They include North Carolina, Georgia, Idaho and Alaska, Rico said.

Whether for economic or anti-immigrant reasons, Rico said, "People are looking for alternatives within the United States."

An estimated 243,253 Mexicans lived in Colorado in 2007, down from 254,844 in 2006, according to the U.S. Census. The state's construction industry, a traditional source of employment for Mexicans, is contracting, and University of Colorado economists expect the state to lose 11,200 construction jobs next year.

Nationally, remittances to Mexico are down, as is Mexican emigration to the U.S.

August remittances totaled $1.9 billion, down 12 percent from August 2007, Mexico's Central Bank says. It's the first drop since the bank began tracking remittances in 1996.

Mexico's National Statistics and Geography Institute estimates that 814,000 Mexicans emigrated to the U.S. in 2006, compared to 1.2 million in 2007.

Arnal noted that Mexico's economy is growing, albeit modestly. Mexico's Treasury Department reported a 1.7 percent growth rate for the third quarter and forecasts 2 percent growth for the year.
