"In an historic shift, the tide of immigration from Mexico to the US has stalled. Villages that were empty of young men are now full. A report published by the Pew Hispanic Center this week confirmed what was already anecdotally clear: the largest wave of immigration in US history has stalled and is now close to slipping into reverse."
Maybe Americans will emigrate to the job paradise of Mexico, after falling off of their two years of unemployment benefits here at home. Everybody already knows at least a bit of Spanish anyway, and the weather is probably nicer in Old Mexico as well. Plus, you could get to wear a sombrero, the world's awesomest hat!
More seriously, if even Mexico offers people more economic opportunity than the U S of A, then we are well and truely blued, screwed and tattooed! As a final insult, notice that the link is to an English newspaper. With the descent into rot of our own news media, I guess we will have to get our news from the UK, while we work for a living in Old Mexico!
