Slow Economy = Less Illegal Immigrants

I guess all those jobs that Americans "don't want" will soon be filled by Americans again.

"The decline in job prospects in construction, service and other low-skilled jobs are communicated through extended networks of would-be movers from Mexico and Latin America," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, another Washington think tank. "It also may propel more return migration."

I think a lot of it has to do with home builders and home improvement people cutting back so they need less laborers. We may need to put a sign on the Mexican border saying "sorry no jobs."
