As Mexican Economy Booms, Strapped Californians Illegally Move South
Reversing the old migration pattern. Really.
On Tuesday, President Obama met with the newly elected president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto. While the press focused on the Administration's talking points for discussions on a wide range of issues from energy to climate change, the real concern is that the Mexican economy is far outperforming the U.S. economy and the new immigration concern is increasingly from Americans illegally moving to Mexico.
Nowhere is this trend more challenging than in California, which was just awarded the booby prize by 24/7 Wall Street survey, as the "Worst Run State" in the United States.
