Sporting a brand new unemployment rate of just under 5%, the current Mexican economy is humming, people are buying homes and people are working. In fact, the small business community of Mexico is creating jobs and a need for workers so fast that from only California nearly 300,000 illegals have repatriated themselves to Mexico, just to do those jobs "that Americans never would."
The news, according to a report at the Monterey County Herald, means that illegal immigrants are now leaving California for greener pastures - in Mexico.
"It's now easier to buy homes on credit, find a job and access higher education in Mexico," said Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Mexican consul general in Sacramento, the Herald reports. "We have become a middle-class country."
According to the Herald:
An estimated 300,000 undocumented immigrants have left California since 2008, though the remaining 2.6 million still make up 7 percent of the population and 9 percent of the labor force, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
The best-paying jobs for those returning to their native Mexico can be found in the construction industry, as that nation is building new homes, factories and production facilities.
"Put that side by side with American construction trends since President Obama came to office," McCullough writes, "and the contrast is stunning."
