[From our correspondent in Mexico City]
Mike the numbers don't lie. Statistico Mexico has registered a steep drop in the number of people illegally leaving the country for what used to be the eldorado. From an average crossing of 15,000 a month until last month, they are now only recording a mere 5. And Mike, 4 of those 5 emigrants were deaf and blind, therefore unaware of the economical catastrophe happening across the border. The fifth one was Alberto Gonzales, the former Attorney General, who tried to foul the Mexican authorities in passing for a mexican, but was arrested and escorted back to the border.
US officials have even received orders to dismantle the fence they were building, to allow the illegal immigrants to flee faster back home. Number that has amazingly raised from 1 a month to 20,000.
The mexican officials are considering buying the fence from the US to prevent americans to enter illegally the country.
Now if that's not ironic, I don't know what is.
Back to you Mike.
