'The US isn't an option anymore': why California's immigrants are heading back to Mexico

Years of anti-immigrant policies from the Trump administration have been magnified by insecurities resulting from the pandemic

"...But they couldn’t stand the uncertainty. So, the grandmother, mom and two young children instead relocated across the southern border. The kids, both US citizens, are still able to cross the border to attend school.

Javier Lua Figureo moved back to his home town in Michoacán, Mexico, three years ago, after living and working in California for a dozen years. Since the pandemic hit, several of his friends and family members have followed his lead, he said.
“Things aren’t perfect in Mexico,” Figureo said in Spanish. But at least there’s access to healthcare, and some unemployment benefits for those who need it, he added. “In comparison to what it was in the US, the situation for us in Mexico right now is much better.”"

Ending the jobs would be enforcing the laws. No one is doing that.

Very little effort on front side, keeping them out and deporting. No jobs need ending.

Obviously as long as the jobs are here they will come. When they are not they leave. Odd You would argue for enforcing our laws and then slink away when the discussion revolves around enforcing our laws.

It has nothing to do with anything. As long as the jobs are here they will come. Nothing we do at the borders will stop that. The jobs not being there will though.

But you obviously do have a problem with targeting employers.

That has NOTHING to do with my argument. You want to condemn one aspect as opposed to the elephant in the room. Employers.

I've argued for it for years. My buds? I believe they should be sent to prison and have their jobs bankrupted with huge fines.

Agreed. Both sides like cheap labor..as many segments of our economy actually depend on it. Consumers like the cheap prices derived from it...and politicians love to rail against it.
If we actually surge to the border..before the economy recovers...there will be much whining as those affected industries and markets miss their labor force.

Give the illegals left..the ones with good work records..a path to legalization--and freeze out the rest..net gain for US.

In fact..your snarky comment is correct --libs trying to 'hamstring' border enforcement..have very little to do with it..as most who study the issue know.

That won't happen because if they are made legal, they get wage protections. So we will allow them to stream back in because that is what the businesses want after things pick back up.

Not really odd, just hypocritical.

California declared it's self a sanctuary state so they are heading back to Mexico maybe it's because of the stupid ass way the Democrats run the state.
