@kausmickey or maybe the numbers are bogus.
@kausmickey I’d say it has more to do with a shitty economy. Huge amount left after the housing &construction boom busted & didn’t recover.
@kausmickey @Glaivester Thousands of Central American Ninos Migrantes receiving Amnesty every MONTH!
@kausmickey @Glaivester Or, maybe it’s not falling, but the push for amnesty is “influencing” the estimates.
@kausmickey @instapundit Maybe. Maybe it’s because of global warming! (We’re just connecting unrelated things, right? That’s the game?)
@kausmickey @instapundit Housing crash killed the market for unskilled labor. Pretty simple.
@Mattfobrien @kausmickey @instapundit You’re an Open Borders loon
@Mattfobrien @kausmickey @instapundit Of course, you’re a libertarian, so I repeat myself.
@Mattfobrien @kausmickey @instapundit You guys kill me–“It’s not the immigration that’s a problem, it’s the Welfare State!” Oh
@kausmickey @genophilia You mean people respond to incentives?
@kausmickey It went down becuz the economy sucks, especially in construction. And Mexico at $12,000 per cap GDP is middle income, not poor.
@kausmickey or people are just unimaginably stupid
@kausmickey @MarkSKrikorian It goes up and down based on how many jobs there are. Never met a Mexican who was worried about enforcement.
