Thread: Recession also hits illegal aliens

Recession also hits illegal aliens

Margie Nolan Cowles - Richmond, Va.

USA TODAY's article "Mexicans find leaving U.S. a hard decision" was interesting and informative. If there is an upside to the USA's economic crisis, it is that many illegal immigrants residing in the country are finding it difficult to obtain a job, forcing them to return to Mexico (News, Dec. 10).

The lack of jobs is something U.S. citizens have been experiencing for some time. Now the Mexican government is preparing for an influx of returnees.

The only difference between the USA's and Mexico's situation is the returning Mexicans belong in Mexico while the illegal immigrants do not belong in the USA.

Once our economy rebounds, hopefully our U.S. Border Patrol will have the resources and manpower to keep the illegal immigrants from returning.
