Yes, this is a wonderful thing! The down market is forcing the illegals to move. When the economy improves, hopefully, most of them will be gone, and laws and ENFORCEMENT will be in place. Then the construction industry can do what they used to do, hire Americans. I remember when going into construction was a great career. Hard work but well paying, enough to raise a family! And there was pride in quality construction. Remember that?
I'm in Phoenix and, yes, we are seeing them leave. Mostly the residents, but since we are the main passage from Mexico to other states, there are hundreds of drop houses around the Valley. There seems to be a bust of a drop house each day or so. And often the police are called by an illegal held against their will.
I was encouraged this morning at the Post Office. I see this regularly. Most of the applications for passports are for children, not the parents. The parents don't speak english and say they are going to Mexico.
