Much attention is being given to a report about census data out of Mexico revealing a decline in Mexican migration to the United States. The data appears back up what many U.S. experts – and the Observer -- have been saying for months that the bad economy is slowing the flow of illegal immigration.
The New York Times reports that Mexican data show that immigration from Mexico to other countries declined by 25 percent in the year that ended in August 2008 from the preceding year. Some 226,000 fewer people immigrated from Mexico. Most come to the United States.
As with their American counterparts, Mexican researchers say the decline is largely a result of the lack of jobs in the ailing American economy.
"If jobs are available, people come," Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington, told the paper. “If jobs are not available, people don't come."
Other researchers argue the drop in crossings from Mexico proves that tough law enforcement at the border and in American workplaces can help reduce illegal immigration.
"The latest evidence suggests that you can reverse the flow," says Steven A. Camarota, a demographer at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for stronger enforcement of immigration laws. "It is not set in stone, so with some mix of enforcement and the economy, fewer will come and more will go home."

That's because most of them are already here.
ReplyDeleteRemember, when we (USA) are in a recession, there are little to no jobs for the legal and illegals.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why there is really no desire to cross a border for a better life.
Mr. liberal GOP "American dream" silver spoon Bush allowed as many as 10-20 million illegals into America to "do jobs nobody else would do" ... mostly building millions of houses during the great mortgage banker derivatives ponzi scam for 7 years as neocon Greenspan crashed rates to 1% that have all been foreclosed on now ... thus causing a 2.7 quadrillion global toxic asset waste and 1.7 quadrillion in this nation alone...
ReplyDeleteWe know that was all done to prop up his bogus economy ... but now the waves have washed it all down and Great Depression II has arrived only 100 times worse than 1929... Lets dont forget 30% of the workers today are in the bloated military as opposed to less than 5% in 1929 so real jobless rates in America could be 40-50%...
In the end all this illegals were all an unneeded fraud ...like the rigged 911 WMD lies and wars to protect Israel. Meanwhile America and the world suffer the fallout with millions of innocents dead and maimed needlessly... as Obama continues the 3rd term of Bush spying on 300 million Americans with no letup and wasting 3 trillion annually when the IRS only takes in 1.5 trillion...
In addition property values have plummetted 40-50% all across America including this area ... yet taxing authorities refuse to lower values and pretending there is no Great Depression II and even raising taxes squeezing more blood out of the turnips...
The Boston Tea Party of 1775 was over a one cent tax and this sparked the Rev War... Could anyone imagine what these early Americans would think of todays taxes that run as high as 60-70% collectively notwithstanding 100s trillion longterm debt that will run into the quadrillions soon?...
If only America could go back and erase Y2K ... and the Bush rigged mistake but then Obama wouldnt have cakewalked into the WH ... so any wonder why he loves Bush and serving his 3rd term?...
At least illegal migration for the time has slowed since there are no more houses to build ...
This is a good thing. Hopefully now the crime rate will decrease a little.
ReplyDeleteIt is stupid to think that the crime rate will decrease due to less immigration. Mexicans have nothing to do with that. The crime rate will increase now that people dont have jobs. Please do some research or read about it before commenting on this site.
ReplyDeleteHey Poindexter, check the news everyday. Mexicans have plenty to do with crime. You bleeding hearts must always have excuses for crime.
ReplyDeletePrepare for the next wave of illegals.
ReplyDeleteWe still have 11 million of them dug in.
Good news is the Border Patrol is hiring...

If you can load a van, give them a call
The crime rate has already decreased in this area.
ReplyDeleteThat was all in the news this month.
Along with the fact that a lot of High-Spanic businesses that depend on Low-Spanics (illegals) are closing.
Happy coincidence?
I'd say so, and probably more...
I've had no problem finding illegals to cut my grass for $15.
ReplyDeleteDEPORT ALL ILLEGALS THAT HAVE NOT YET DEPARTED FROM THE USA AND PLEASE SEND THEIR ANCHOR BABIES WITH THEM. ENFORCE CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS AT THE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS. BUILD THE FENCE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
ReplyDeleteRacism is the Last Refuge of the Loser Idiot, the last security blanket of an immature child that is a Failed Life.
ReplyDeleteThere is a famous apothegm :
"Patrotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel"
And Great Historians, From Herodotus to Niccolo Machiavelli have told us that Great Truth in many forms. Machiavelli tells us how Armies corrupt the best of Men.
"Use these men in War, and hang them in Peace"
The guy that is a failure in Life has a last refuge : Feel Superior because he belongs to an Ethnic, Race, Religion or Political Orientation. He was chosen by God, Nature or Fate to be the Superior to others, because of his color, hair, nose, or because of his Religious or Political Bigotry.
There is a Good Part of Mankind that are failed Idiots, Village Idiots, filled with resentment.
The guy that comes from a Dysfunctional Family can be very dangerous, if his mother was a whore and he was kicked and beaten by the last lover of his mother.
Those that fail in Business, Marriage, or Intellectual Pursuit are dangerous, like Jean Paul Marat, they become butchers of Humans.
Finally there are those Idiots that succeed in Business, because Business sometimes is good for Idiots and the Lowest Scum. For example the TV anchors of Racism and Hate. Or the Radio Talk Shows that prosper on Fear and Hate.
Idiots can succeed in Politics and we have seen the Best Examples in the Last Two Centuries, the Twentieth Century and this Third Millennium.
The idiot can be rich and nevertheless an idiot. His heart is still filled with Resentment, Envy and Hate.
And idiot can win a lottery, and certainly there are many donkeys with a load of gold. But always Idiots.
