MEXICO CITY – Americans, in the hundreds of thousands, are crossing the border into Mexico -looking for work.
There were ZERO jobs created in the United States last week. Unemployment remains over 9.1% and if you consider all the Americans that have stopped looking for work, the number is closer to 20%.
The answer for a large group of Americans: Mexico.
The Mexican economy is booming. Many of the illegal immigrants that have come to the United States have turned around and headed back to Mexico. Yes, there are drug cartels killing citizens, police officers and government officials, but there are jobs there and Americans are willing to take the risk.
“I’m not worried about the drug dealers, I need a job. I need to take care of my family,” said Steven Rivera of El Paso, Texas. Rivera’s family will remain in El Paso, while Steven works in at a Tequila Farm in Baja. “I’ll only be making about $3,000 a month, but the cost of living is low. I’ll be sending most of the money back to my family.”
Mexican Border Patrol has seen a spike in Americans running across the border into Mexico – looking for work.
But the MBP has different approach to illegal immigration. “If we see anybody running across the border, we will kill them on the spot. We will use as many bullets as it takes to make sure the illegal is no longer a threat to Mexico.”
Still, Americans are running across the border in record number, with only backpacks and bottles of water. “Many are making through the desert of Mexico and getting to Mexico City, but many, unfortunately, are not making it,” said White House head Mexican-American relations, Jill Bonderas, says that the Obama Administration is doing all it can to keep illegal immigrants safe in our country and “we hope the Mexicans are keeping the Americans who cross the border safe as well.”
Thousands of Americans are seen standing outside Hardware Y Siseno (the equivalent of Home Depot), hoping to be picked up for day labor jobs.
“Hopefully, if America can create jobs again, and Americans won’t have to leave to find jobs in Mexico, but the trend seems to be increasing,” said Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis. “But, in the meantime, we are sure they will have a good time in Mexico. It’s so beautiful down there”
If only this were true.
It is true. I am one of them.
Same here living and working in Tijuana and I'm a vet who couldn't get a job
Hey Joe,
I need a job…….Can you hook me up ? Many skill sets.
Its me again…..I'm serious.
Mexicans are leaving America in droves for jobs in Mexico too. Obamas economic policies do not work.
Makes me wish I had paid more attention in Spanish class. ;P
Hey, I am extremely amazed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog site like this one nowadays.
Here is the reality. There are more oppurtunities in Mexico than the USA. Want to start a biz in Mexico. No problem no bs permits and government getting in your way. The US has become a joke. Land of the free my ass. Welcome to the peoples republic of the usa. We are totally screwed here. No matter what you do your liable to be legislated out of a job or a biz overnight. You have much more freedom in Mexico. The only problem is security. The usa gov is controled by the big biz and the 1% ers. They only care about becoming richer and richer and if freedom, liberty get in the way they crush it. Get used to this new reality its not going to change anytime soon.
I've been surfing on-line more than three hours lately, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the net shall be much more helpful than ever before.
