Although fewer Mexicans are entering the U.S., illegal aliens are not repatriating to Mexico, despite the economic depression, reports the The Washington Independent. The trend appears to support my assertion, in the post on “Socialist America Sinking,” that the trough is still sufficiently full of feed for the incoming oinks.

It’ll take time to break the backs of the relatively few Atlases who carry the $13 trillion American economy. Decades hence, immigration will slow. Until then, the hordes will flock to the freebies.

Granted, it might be argued that fear of law enforcement prevents aliens from crossing the border. But that’s laughable, given the solid, proven record the US holds of not patrolling the border in any meaningful way.

My contention is on its way to being vindicated: Illegals are driven less by the rugged individualism romantic Americans of the liberal and libertarian left attribute to them, and more by the magnet of welfare and other free stuff (like Mephisto’s Medicare). After all, American immigration policy selects for poor character.
