SAN DIEGO - After struggling just to pay his $300 monthly rent and send money to his wife and two children back in Honduras, Dionisio Urbina has given up. The day laborer is saving for a one-way plane ticket home.

“I lost hope about finding work,â€

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Mexico City’s municipal government predicts between 20,000 and 30,000 immigrants above the usual number will return from the U.S. in the next few months because they cannot find work.

Mexican consulates in California and Chicago report that around 4,000 more Mexican immigrants than usual have already left for Mexico City because of the economic crisis.

Good maybe they will start closing down some of those Mexican Consulates real soon.

I could only hope so. Now is the time to strike while the economy is in a tailspin. Americans are out of jobs and no new ones in sight. We need to hammer home the fact that EVERY job is needed right now for citizens!!

So much for aztlan or whatever they spouted off only a few years ago............

[quote]At a day laborer site in Laguna Beach, south of Los Angeles, Juan Pacheco, 48, said he planned to return to Oaxaca, Mexico, in January, about two years after he came north to work construction. On an earlier stint in the U.S., he sent home $200 a week to his wife and children and bought a house in Mexico, where his family grows corn and beans.

Pacheco has worked only one or two days a week in the past year, barely enough for food and the $200 monthly rent. His voice cracks when he talks about phone calls to his 5-year-old daughter.

“She says she doesn’t remember me, that she wants me to go home so she can meet me,â€

Waiting for more to go......
