Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico For American Jobs

Mexican immigrants to the United States have begun making the deadly journey back across the border in search of better-paying Mexican-based American jobs.

"I came to this country seeking the job I sought when I first left this country," said Anuncio Reyes, 22, an undocumented worker who recrossed the U.S. border into Mexico last month, three years after leaving Mexico for the United States to work as an agricultural day laborer. "I spent everything I had to get back here. Yes, it was dangerous, and I miss my home. But as much as I love America, I have to go where the best American jobs are."

This piece is from The Onion is certainly satire, but it sounds plausible. Perhaps our politicians have inadvertently provided a solution to the illegal immigration problem.
