More Mexicans leaving U.S. under duress
"Two hours were enough for José Luis Sánchez and his family to pack their most valuable belongings in two vans – items accumulated in 10 years of living in the Dallas area.
With his wife, children and their suitcases in place, Mr. Sánchez closed the door of his Mesquite apartment for the last time, sat at the wheel of one of the vehicles – his brother drove the other – and hit the road back to his homeland.
So ended his decade-long adventure as an illegal Mexican immigrant in the United States.
According to Mexican consulate officials in Dallas, some 400 immigrant families have told them so far this year that they're going back to Mexico and asked for transfer documents to enroll their children in Mexican schools.
Enrique Hubbard Urrea, Mexican consul general in Dallas, said it is impossible to track every Mexican who leaves the area. But he said the number asking for transfer documents at the consulate is on the rise."

They're probly afraid their kids will be shanghaied by the military after being given some kind of 'take it or leave' deal by local recruiters.
Good Point, that would be a way for them to swell the ranks, with massive sweeps.
I've been wondering when this was going to start occuring...
To be honest, a lot of people see the handwriting on the wall as well as a bad existing situation.
