Wow! Looks like the new tough on illegals laws recently passed in Arizona are working! Although most of the illegals that left Arizona and Oklahoma just moved to Texas, apparently some went back home.

Quote:
A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.
At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora - Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money.

It can be distilled down to one word:

Karma

Those knuckleheads flying the Mexican flags at their so-called illegal immigrants' 'rights' rallies 2 years ago did little except wake up a sleeping giant--------the United States of America.

And; we are on a roll.......state after state is cracking down on the illegals and their enablers----------now, the Feds are starting to swing into action.

Friggin' hypocrites. They made their bed, now they must lie in it! These are their own citizens! What a joke, I hope we laugh those legislators back to where they come from - but not before billing them for what their citizens have cost our citizens.

This is funny...I think a lot of us knew they didn't want their lower class back, well...we Americans should be worrying about taking care of our poor (in a sensible way...not just giving people money, but helping them work to achieve the American Dream)...Mexico is getting a wake up call

"Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems" it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs, she said.

What is the AMERICAN DREAM? Please enlighten me, I'm sure there are a lot of Americans wondering the same thing.

I don't know about how Sonora Mexico is feeling, but when you refer to them as lower class, we have some lower class in this country that maybe Mexico would trade with us.

Side note here:

Many of the resident Mexicans in Sonora, etc. are not happy with being inudated with those who originated from Chiapas, Oaxaca, etc. either.

I think this is the real problem, these Mexicans are not from the north.

We are also talking about decades of illegals (from all over SOB) trickling over the entire border and planting in Arizona. Now the reverse flow is a fire hose of people who are not from that region of Mexico.

It may be seen as crying, I see it as logistical planning.
