For the past couple of years, we have heard time and time again that our economy needs illegal aliens, and they do not impact our social programs and depress wages :
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.
Let’s see, when it is our problem it’s not, when it is Mexico’s it is ?
A recent Rasmussen poll indicates that border security is a hot button election issue :
“A growing majority of Americans believe that gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing illegal immigrants, and three out of four (74%) say the government is not doing enough to make that happen.”

It’s just too darn bad that our country has sunk so low that we all have to suffer through a serious economic slump in order to solve a problem which should have been solved by the people we stupidly elect to office!
