Again, nice to see these people, whose only desire was to become Americans, not to steal Americans' jobs, sticking around when the going gets tough. Here's
some of their stories:
After going months without a full-time job, Daniel Ramirez has decided it's time to return to family in Mexico.
Vicenta Rodriguez Lopez says she can't afford to live in Colorado any more because her husband was deported.
Roberto Espinoza is going back, too. After 18 years as a mechanic for a General Motors dealership in Denver, his work permit wasn't renewed and he didn't want to remain in the country illegally.
WTF? 18 years as a General Motors mechanic? And he's not even legal?!!!!
Mexico's consul general in Denver, Eduardo Arnal, said more people like Ramirez are going home for good.
Still others return on their own terms, having accrued the wealth to let them live their dreams in Mexico.
"I can't complain. I have a job and I am able to come back if I want," said Gustavo Camacho, 43, who works for a firm digging trenches for electrical cables in Denver.
Camacho, who is from Jalisco, has been here twice, from 1999-2003 and again since 2005. The first time, he saved enough money for a house in Jalisco. This time, he has enough to start a business — either a car repair shop or selling food on the street.
He wants his six children to grow up in Mexico, where he thinks family values are stronger.
Heh. Here's
the low down on murder rates by country. How those "family values" working out for ya Camacho?
