Return of undocumented to Morelia diminishes by 90%

Morelia, Michoacán – There has been some 90% reduction in the number of undocumented who have returned to Morelia.

Contrary to what one would think, the economic downturn in the United States has resulted in Morelians just staying in the United States hoping for a better labor opportunity.

Contrary to what many would do, there are some who are just waiting here for a new migratory bill that would enable them to emigrate to the United States.

This information obtained from the Director of Enlace Ciudadano, Marco Polo Aguirre Chavez.
