Feeling Bad for Illegal Immigrants

This is a story on cnn.com that tries to garner sympathy for illegal immigrants who came here years ago to steal jobs, and are now facing few prospects for illegal employment due to the economy. The focus is on a man who is returning to Guatemala after being here illegally for four years. CNN dutifully recounts his sad tale of being away from his family and how he now regrets coming here.

Are you kidding me?

I don’t even know how to respond to this drivel. The world has turned completely upside down.

Let’s talk about the bad economy while noting that illegal immigrants from Mexico exported $25 Billion last year out of our country back to their homes, and that was a drop from the previous year. By the way, it was the first drop in the 13 years it’s been tracked. Money stolen from America is Mexico’s second largest source of foreign money.
