Bad economic news is goods news on illegal immigration.

Being an optimist (most of the time) I believe in the saying "When one door closes another opens". That seem to be the case in this story reported by Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff showing how the downturn in the Washington DC area housing market is affecting the illegal immigrant population in regards to jobs. While the down turn in housing construction may seem like bad news the silver lining is the illegal immigrants are finding it harder and harder to get work and some are even returning back to the countries they came from. Here is the money quote:

"On Jan. 20, he is taking his family back to El Salvador, with plans to open an auto repair shop with the money he has saved. "There's no work here anymore," he said, having spent the past month unemployed. "And when there's no work, it's time for Latinos to go back to the countries where they came from."

This is good news. Let's hope the pro illegal immigration pols in Washington like John McCain and Ted Kennedy along with my congressman Tim (give them amnesty) Bishop don't screw up this self deportation movement by the illegal immigrants by doing something stupid like continuing to push for amnesty for the illegal who violated U.S. Immigration law. As the door to self deportation is being opened by the illegals returning back to their native countries it is time for the U.S. to shut the open border doors that allowed them into the U.S. in the first place.
