Washington Post: Mexican Returning To Mexico Are Taking Jobs Away From Mexicans

Taking Jobs From The People Who 
Already Do The Jobs Other People Won't Do

SO WHEN MEXICANS COME TO THE UNITED STATES, THE NARRATIVE IS THAT THEY MAKE EVERYBODY HERE RICHER. But when Mexicans get sent home:
More returnees means lower wages for everybody in blue-collar industries such as construction and automobile manufacturing, where competition for jobs is likely to increase, economists say.
Good thing that doesn’t happen here, where Mexican immigration is a lot greater than the three planeloads a week (up from two under Obama) of Mexicans sent home from the US.
