| #23 3rd quarter GDP numbers were going gangbusters. Christmas retail sales up nearly 4% in stores (for some reason reported as "sluggish" in the media but that is darned good) and up 22% in online sales (not mentioned at all in the media) and the shelves at the Target near me were bare on Monday when I slipped over for some last minute items. |

| #18 Oh. I didn't know that, crosspatch. Thanks for that key bit of information -- I'll wait to get excited until strawberry season then. |

| #17 Kinda like that here in SC When the tobbaco and cabbage plantations are done the "migrants" make sure they get arrested for 6 months during the winter months, and then its back to work. |

| #16 In other words, if they really WERE self-deporting on any large scale you would be able to tell by the lack of California navel oranges and spring stawberries in your local supermarket. |

| #15 See, here's the deal. Every year at about this time the agricultural migrants leave Arizona and head either to Mexico or Southern California for navel orange picking season. They come back when the strawberries come on in mid April. |

| #14 Well. Each person that clicks on this article is seeing his or her own cookie name reflected back. Dunno why or how. I'll check with Rantburg IT over in the O Club. |

| #13 This is odd, as this is the first time I have even looked at the article, not sure how my sig got in there, especially when I rarely post. Do you guys think I may have a bot on my comp or something. would really hate to give up reading the 'Burg at work. Sorry for any problems I may have caused |

| #12 But the fence-building is part of the changed atmosphere, crosspatch -- at least in my opinion. And if Mexican illegals are registering their American-born children for Mexican citizenship, necessary if they're to go to school south of the border, that's something very different from the past, right? |

| #11 When I tried to post I got some sort of long error message, but the post went through nonetheless, with the resulting oddity in the website box. (I see changes&owner=trailing wife. Sorry Besoeker, but I have mentioned you fondly in other posts.) Even so, clicking on the article title will take you to the article. Perhaps one of our charming moderators will fix it, if it's annoying enough. |

| #10 The article is crap. It is left-wing propaganda. First, there is no economic downturn in the US. Secondly the whole "self deporting" meme is designed to deflate outrage that the fence isn't being built. It is designed to create the notion that it isn't needed. They are "self deporting" just like they do every year at this time. |
