    “Illegal immigrants returning to Mexico for American jobs.” I have heard locally that this statement might have some truth to it. I am told the illegals and legals are leaving Wichita to go to areas where there are more jobs. Don’t know if they are returning to Mexico.

    If the EAGLE still has any investigative reporters, this would be an interesting story to research.

    I dont know JR. With so many cons in obama’s cabinet and with pelosi and reid at the helms, I’m not so sure this election wasnt REALLY good for the repukes.

    better be careful Dog too many on the Blog Criticizing walmart is akin to attacking god himself, and might lead them to question your patriotism, the fact that they don’t sell American products and support a brutal Communist regime goes over their heads.

    “Illegal immigrants returning to Mexico for American jobs.” I have heard locally that this statement might have some truth to it.

    Seems Borowitz was way scooped by the Onion (or, for that matter, Dilbert, which long ago had Asok, the Indian intern, having his job outsourced to India). Haven’t heard too much about the phenom here, as the economy sucks on both sides of the border, and Columbian drug gangs are making Sonora a little too dangerous to be attractive.
