How bad is the economy in the United States?
How bad is the economy in the United States?
So bad that illegal immigrants are leaving this country and returning to Mexico in record numbers. Even the number of Mexicans wishing to enter the United States has dropped dramatically as indicated by the number of apprehensions by the U.S. Border Patrol. Arrests have fallen by as much as 20 percent compared to last year despite increased surveillance and enforcement.
With the devastating economic downturn in the housing market, immigrant workers are no longer in great demand and job opportunities are quickly drying up. Immigrant workers are choosing to go home rather than wait for an economic rebound as analysts predict a prolonged housing slump. Construction labor that would come from home remodeling, painting and landscaping is no longer plentiful as only the few well-off Americans have the necessary disposable income to spend on such projects.
No one is certain about the total size of the mass exodus back to Mexico. But, one group says the undocumented population has voluntarily left the United States by an incredible, whopping 11 percent (almost one and half million immigrants) in just the past 12 months alone.
Who can really blame them. Our country is F*#ked.
At least you can smoke in bars in Mex. Plus, there is plenty of action and fly girls in Tijuana not to mention other cities.
The Rest is Up to You…..

Nice post, just a correction, you cannot smoke in bars in México anymore, because a new law approved this year.
greetings from México.

Javier,
Greetings!
I have rarely encountered a place that actually takes “no smoking” laws serious except southern California.
I was just in Mexico last week sparking it up and spitting Spanish Game. Successfuly, I might add.
Take care,
