The downslide in the U.S. economy has affected folks from all walks of life, regardless if you are a Wall Street CEO or a “joe-sixpack” blue collar worker.
If there is anything positive to be seen in the current economic climate, it may be the fact that not only are we seeing less illegal immigration into the U.S., some of the illegals already here are starting to pack up and go home.
Enrique Hubbard, the Mexican consul general at the consulate office in Dallas Texas, reports a large increase of the number of Mexican nationals seeking information as to what paperwork they would need to go home for good, as well as documentation for enrolling their children in Mexican schools.
Since August of last year, more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants have returned to their home countries.
Whatever the reasons behind this exodus are; a lack of work for these folks due to a softening American economy, or more rigid enforcement of immigration rules by law enforcement, a few things are apparent.
This migration should help ease some of the strain on welfare and social services for these people, which have been funded with billions of dollars paid in taxes by American citizens.
And for the bleeding hearts who have been claiming for years that the illegal immigrants were “only doing jobs that Americans wouldn’t do”, those jobs will now revert to the workers who were doing them before.
Legal, taxpaying United States citizens.
