Central America Migrant Flow to US Slows

For thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America, the long journey to the U.S. starts here, on the groaning back of a freight train they call The Beast.

THANK YOU JESUS. Maybe there is a hope that our country will not be overrun. I still assert that if you take away the economic advantages that come with being here you don't have a problem.. Make it a crim to hire people who are here illegally. EVERY job I've had, I've had to show proof of my right to work in the US. Let them have to do the same, and you will see that they will stay in their country where they belong.

It's common sense.

mexico does not want anyone from central american to go to the US because mexico wants mexicans to go to the US. More mexicans in the US, the more money is sent home to mexico. The more central americans in the US the less money mexico gets.

Funny how mexico enforces it's borders to the south and not the north.......

American citizens; that's who cares. U.S. citizens are working together to enforce their sovereignty and protect themselves from illegal trespassers from Mexico, Central and South America. And there will be no more jobs for you in the U.S. in the near future due to e-verify and other tools. Fence construction has slowed, but once Bush is out of office, the construction will accelerate. Zorro; your sword has just been shrunk to the size of a needle by the will and determination of the citizens of the US. How do you respond to that?

you must be on crack...all american jobs are headed for mexico......and all the drugs coming into your country are for ...guess who, all you proud high americans...peace brother, inthegoddavida baby....boy we need the doors back....or joe mac donald...or a love fest.....thats all americans know...groovy...

Why is it that they can count them but they cant stop them ?

[Spunky Balls]

It's slowing down because there is hardly anyone left in Central America! Most of them are already in the US!

You're missin' the point. Outsourcing is done by American Big Business higher-ups and conglomerates for higher profits.
They're not satisfied with having 2 million in the bank. They want 10, and at our expense.

Illegal labor is the corporate method of union-busting.

Labor union membership in the U.S. is at an all-time low, a little less than 15% of U.S. workers are union members.

tidbits is right, you angry americans are blaming the wrong persons,immigrants are here for work, if you give them no work they will leave, its that easy ,no need to call other humans stupid and ignorant hate words.

What's always been interesting to me is that Mexico encourages people to immigrate illegally to the US so they can send back remittances, but they don't want anyone from Central America coming into their country.

It's time we took matters into "OUR" own hands!!! The Govt. won't do anything about the illegals except dish out more of "OUR" tax money to support them! Our founding fathers are turning in their graves as we sit and watch "OUR" country be over-run!!! Thousands of our men and women have given their lives defending America...and we sit and watch it being given away...how sad!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

And CALDERON CRYS and MOANS about how bad his mexican swine are treated in this country when they are picked up for being in this country without proper paper. Why does he not clean up his corrupt officals...ANSWER he is the head corrupt official in all of mexico. I think we should electrify the fence, better yet castrate the ones that are caught without papers in this country. Wanna bet that would stop the exodus out of mexico.

Oh we could stop it but our government is following the lead of Mexico. Corruption!!!

Good point, I would want the government to enforce union in all job aspects, for example, McDonalds, Wal Mart , and all minumum wage jobs, no wonder this companys make a killing, they dont even hire illegals but they are getting away with paying pennies ti american citizens.

Mexico does not encourage there people to come here , they exploit them working for $6.00 a day , thats why they come to america, I have alot of people speak about these remittances sent back to mexico, if you really do your research you will find out they dont really send nothing back, they dont live in US for free ,they have to pay for food and rent just like anybody else, remember they dont get paid to well either here in the US unless they work 7 days a week. Of course they are able to send some money back but its usually for there family they left behind, Its really just to buy food or clothe.

Many are NOT here just to work.
You need to do some more research before you try and pass that old tale.

The 2006 marches and subsequent videos of thier actions prove "they are NOT just here to work".

Again,you need to do more research.
Look up what part of the Mexican GDP is coming from the USA.
You are very uneducated on the illegal invasion and coming from CA,I find that hard to believe.

Wake up joey , they have died for this country too.

I have seen that, more and more people are immigrating to Europe instead of America. America economy is horrible. Its going to get worser, like the one in 1929!.Do you knoe that almost all the illegal immigrants getting deported back to Mexico, are immigrating to Europe or staying in Mexico. Also, numerous of European Companies are opening factories in Mexico. Now, you(Americans) wont have to complain about the illegal(Mexicans). LoL The funny thing is that the illegals getting deported to Mexico, defend America like you wont have an idea. They are staying here in Mexico and getting jobs or they are immigrating to Europe. Bonjour!
I am a college student in Mexico, this is my first year learning English in college and my third year learning the language. I am here in LA Metro area(Beverly Hills) for my summer vacation;however, it was hard to get a passaport,the US each year gives out less and less passaports. I think if the goverment gave more passports there would have been less illegals immigrating moving to America.

P.S
I like Compton. The ghetto of LA, is nothing compare to the ghetto of St. Loius.
Vote for Mc Cain, and make the US like a 3 world country.
