We're not even worth the trip for poor Mexicans anymore. So much for THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.

http://www.pewhispanic.org/2012/04/23/net-migration-from-mexico-falls-to-zero-and-perhaps-less/

QuoteThe largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—more than half of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped—and may have reversed, according to a new analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of multiple government data sets from both countries.

The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including the weakened U.S. job and housing construction markets, heightened border enforcement, a rise in deportations, the growing dangers associated with illegal border crossings, the long-term decline in Mexico's birth rates and changing economic conditions in Mexico.

Hrm...
1. Cash in chips in US, invest in Mexico
2. Chill out and wait 10 years.
3.  :?
4. PROFIT.

Scratch that. I highly doubt they'll let my poor, uneducated honky ass into Mexico in ten years.

theres a lot of usa people communities in mexico, for example san miguel de allende, although most of them are old and retired...

i dont think the migration situation and policies are gonna get reversed in a decade, privilege just doesnt die off so quick...

its easy to go into the third world, but not so easy to leave ;)

and for the record: mexico isnt doing better like the article vaguely implies, is just that the benefits of getting by the border gestapo arent worth it and usa economy not doing good

Even so, we'd have to be doing significantly no bueno in order for the pull to come here to make a living to snap back, no?

"Dontcha be L-7..."  :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised if it was reversing. I'm always hearing people say it's better there...OTC antibiotics, cheap dentists...

Any situation where America goes stomping around shouting "We're number one! We're number one!" And Mexicans going "whatever you say, amigo. We're going home. You keep stomping around though, that's some good work there." Is funny to me.

The US will keep this stomping up even if we're clearly number 100.

 :lulz: I am beyond amused, particularly at what this is going to do to our economy, and also because now rednecks are going to have to find someone new to hate.

"SPEAK ENGLISH OR GO BACK TO MEXICO!"

"Uh... OK."

"Shit, wait, I didn't mean it..."

I, on the other hand, feel used.  As if these people only wanted us for our money, and not our cultural superiority.

Rednecks won't mind if produce prices skyrocket.

You laugh, but I've heard people say things pretty close to that.

"Now that the money's gone, they're all going home."

Well, sure, buddy, you treated them like dogshit and used them as a scapegoat for the fact that rich people sent your job overseas.  Would you continue to work for an abusive boss if he couldn't pay you?  Of course you fucking wouldn't.  Now get ready to pay $7 for a head of lettuce, you mouthbreathing yahoo.
