They can figure out how to get home.
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Mexican illegal immigrant Lindi sat down with her husband Marco Antonio in the weeks before Christmas to decide when to go back to Mexico.
She has spent three years working as a hairdresser in and around Phoenix, but now she figures it is time to go back to her hometown of Aguascalientes in central Mexico.
"The situation has got so tough that there don't seem to be many options left for us," Lindi, who asked for her last name not to be used, told Reuters.
The couple are among a growing number of illegal immigrants across the United States who are starting to pack their bags and move on as a crackdown on undocumented immigrants widens and the U.S. economy slows, turning a traditional Christmas trek home into a one-way trip.
In the past year, U.S. immigration police have stepped up workplace sweeps across the country and teamed up with a growing number of local forces to train officers to enforce immigration laws.
NEWSFLASH! Enforcing the law works! I know this is a tough one for Democrats, but we don't need amnesty or any new laws, we just need to enforce the laws we do have in place.
The next time some pro-criminal immigration advocate asks whet we're going to do about the 12-20 million illegals already in the USA, just tell them nothing. They know the way home, we just have to convince them to return there.
