Thread: Mexican Wives Plead for Husbands to Return to Mexico

Mexican Wives Plead for Husbands to Return to Mexico

This post was written by Warner Todd Huston on 26 February, 2007


Think of yourself as a married American man. Imagine you and your wife have decided that you will sneak in to Canada because you feel you cannot do well in America, you cannot earn your fortune.

Now imagine you have been gone years. Perhaps you send money home once in a while. Though, otherwise you don’t do much about contacting your wife and kids. Still, even if you do your wife is raising your children alone. Your children have no memory of you. To them you are only a name on a money gram or a check.

Would your wife like this arrangement? Would you feel you were being a proper Father with this arrangement?

Or is it more likely that she would want you to come home? Don’t you think she would be sick and tired of your absence, even for the money?

The Washington Times brings us a story that reminds us that illegal immigration has a face to it that few think about. This face is that of Fatherless children and wives without their men stranded in Mexico. This is a story of whole towns in Mexico emptied of working age men who have run off to the United States to make more money.

The women of Tecalpulco, Mexico have created a cottage industry built upon the arts and crafts made by the local women left in the area and, along with advertising their works, they have created a website publicly calling for the USA to enforce its border laws. These industrious and lonely women want the USA to send their men home to them.


Calling themselves “Wetback Wives, Wetback Widows”, these women have had enough. http://www.artcamp.com.mx/venga/

TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT - CLOSE THE BORDER SEND OUR MEN HOME TO US, EVEN IF YOU MUST DEPORT THEM (only treat them in a humane manner - please do not hurt them)

The work is in the United States that is why the men left.

Leaving millions of broken families in the villages now our men are running from the police

But now we have organized our village cottage industry around the traditional handcraft jewelry of our region of Mexico.

Our village of Tecalpulco was very successful in the 1980s when our parents were the creators of the abalone shell jewelry

Ours is a beautiful place to live and since we have formed our womens artisans cooperative and begun to have some success our hope is that the Mexican men who have gone to the US return.


PLEASE CLOSE THE BORDER TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - AFTER ALL, IT IS THE LAW - READ: MEXICO-USA ILLEGAL MIGRATION NEWS

We dont need anybodys help, we are proud artisans, not anyone can make, the kind of beautiful jewelry we make in our workshops. God will help us to meet the needs of our family to surmount the great difficulties we have always faced, as Mexican women over the centuries.

Writer David Yeagley of Frontgapemag.com also had a short story on this last May wherein some letters written by these desperate women were published. Yeagley also locates Tecalpulco, Mexico for us: “Tecalpulco is a small village in Guerrero, Mexico, on Mexico’s southernmost border. It is just north of the city of Campuzano”, he writes.

On the Wetback Wives site we see the plaintive pleas from these abandoned women.

One woman asks for Ruben to come home. “I know we agreed you should try your fortune in the United States, but I didn’t know that it would be so lonely and that you would be gone for such a long time, please return to us,”

Another one calls out to Pedro, “how I miss you. you said you were only going to Arizona to get money for our house but now you have been away and did not come back when your sister got married. Oh how I worry that you have another woman! Dont you love me? You told me you love me. You love me. I know you love me, and our life together”

This aspect of illegal immigration is one not often thought about and reveals yet one more reason why the USA should take control of its borders. We Americans need to stop illegal immigration for ourselves, of course. But also for the Mexican families torn apart as a result of their men leaving home.

This looks like a sick story to get bleeding hearts to go to the web site
feel sorry for them and buy jewlery. Nothing to do with bringing papa home, what crap.

Jim, I agree, that sounds like a publicity stunt. When I first looked at it, it seemed like a joke with all of the retro art and the lady in the Sombrero. I am disappointed that our media is giving this any coverage. Mexico is very good at using every opportunity to their advantage.

I dunno, if the David Yeagley they mention is the one I am thinking of he is not pro-illegal at all.

I say it's easy, close the border and send their husbands home, nothing we would like more!! If its not propaganda, tell it to our government, but I doubt they will listen we have been making this plea for 6 years now!!

Isn't it funny how illegals are screaming that work place raids break up their families, and yet when they come here illegally they break up their families as well. But our MSM and our elected officials seem to forget this point.

Why don't they just send there husbands name and address to ICE with
a request to "Return to Sender"

Have you ever read an article where the "married" illegals had the same name? I suspect that a large part of this worry over families having to return to Mexico is due to the problem of explaining the U.S. family to the Mexican wife?
