DALLAS — Illegal immigrants are returning home to Mexico in numbers not seen for decades — and the Mexican government may have to deal with a crush on its social services and lower wages once the immigrants arrive.

The Mexican Consulate's office in Dallas is seeing increasing numbers of Mexican nationals requesting paperwork to go home for good, especially parents who want to know what documentation they'll need to enroll their children in Mexican schools.

"Those numbers have increased percentage-wise tremendously," said Enrique Hubbard, the Mexican consul general in Dallas. "In fact, it's almost 100 percent more this year than it was the previous two years."

The illegal immigrant population in the U.S. has dropped 11 percent since August of last year, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Its research shows 1.3 million illegal immigrants have returned to their home countries.

Some say illegal immigrants are leaving because a soft economy has led to fewer jobs, causing many laborers to seek work elsewhere.

Others argue that a tough stance on immigration through law enforcement has spread fear throughout the illegal population.

"There's no question there's a variety of suggestions that people are in fact returning," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. "Remittances, which is the money immigrants send home to Mexico, have gone down dramatically over the past year. Again, probably part the economy, but also part enforcement, leading to fewer people being here."

Advocates for immigrants are disturbed by the trend. Albert Ruiz, an organizer for the League of United Latin American Citizens, agrees that more undocumented immigrants are going home — but says families are being torn apart in the process.

If a father is deported, Ruiz says, his family members in America are forced either to fend for themselves or follow him to a country where they've never even lived.

"So the mother is saying we should return home with the breadwinner of the family to Mexico, and the children are saying, I don't want to leave, I'm a U.S. citizen, I don't know that country," said Ruiz.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon plans to help returning nationals by providing food, medical care and temporary shelter if needed. But reports are already out in Mexico that the large number of illegal immigrants returning home could drive down wages and put pressure on social services — the same concerns many Americans have with illegals living and working in the U.S.

I DID NOT even finish reading the copied article... The ONLY thought through my mind is this...


Rats deserting the sinking ship...


PONDER that... People...

What kind of "social services" does Mexico have anyway?

Eat your beans, keep your mouths shut, and you won't have to worry about a "midnight" visit from some rogue government controlled paramilitary agency?

Well it ain't happening here in the PRK...yet
Maybe with our economy going in the dumper like it is, we'll be headed south too..Here's a shot of a group that comes down to the border to help us out once in a whileClick to view attachment

Agreed 1911. I dont believe it yet.

BYE!

Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord Split ya!

Good riddance.

Awww...poor Mexico will have to shell out more pesos for social services. At least Americans aren't crossing south to deliver their babies for free at your hospitals, leaving the taxpayers holding the bill.

And doesn't the family split up anyway when the dad or mom leaves to get a job and send money back? As for the kids...sorry guys. Your parents screwed up and you pay for it. So if you ever get a hankering to come back up when you're of age, do it legally so your kids don't get jacked up.

So what's the tally then? 1.3 million down, 10 more to go?

It is true, many jurisdictions are making law that makes it tougher on them here. I am glad of it!
