Now what?

I see that we've already provided her husband with a free ride home...

Some Mexicans leaving US, planning never to return
By IVAN MORENO, Associated Press Writer Ivan Moreno, Associated Press Writer – Mon Dec 15, 5:16 am ET

DENVER – After going months without a full-time job, Daniel Ramirez has decided it's time to return to family in Mexico.

Vicenta Rodriguez Lopez says she can't afford to live in Colorado any more because her husband was deported.

Roberto Espinoza is going back, too. After 18 years as a mechanic for a General Motors dealership in Denver, his work permit wasn't renewed and he didn't want to remain in the country illegally.

All are leaving Colorado in time for Christmas — joining a traditional holiday migration that will number almost 1 million people, says Mexico's interior ministry. But they have no intention of returning to Colorado, a place that promised prosperity.

Layoffs, dwindling job opportunities, anti-immigrant sentiment and the crackdown on illegal immigrants are forcing hard choices on many Mexican nationals in Colorado. Though not an exodus, some are returning to a nation they haven't seen in years.
...

Adiós!
Despedida...
Verte nunca!!!

If they are here legally, then I hate it for them, I don't blame them one bit for coming here.....If they are here illegally, then good riddance and I hope their ass doesn't come back until they learn how to come here legally.  Of course that is the bitter, religion clinging, gun owning, anti immigrant part of me saying that.

I think you mean anti illegal-immigrant...  I'm all for people coming over here legally.  By all means, come on over, but you better become a productive member of our society if you plan to stay.

Well, I agree with you totally, but since "The One" said
Quote
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." 

That is why I put the anti-immigrant in there.  I mean "The One" says it, so it must be so.

Good one, that was funny.  I love Family Guy, it took me a while but I finally got the wife to start watching it and she has become a fan as well.
