LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream.
Pedro Pablo, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, headed home recently due to the bad U.S. economy.
"I left my family and lost four years with them. I will ask them to forgive me," he said.
Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who came to the United States to support his wife and five sons back home. When he arrived, construction jobs were plentiful. Over the last year, he says, he's worked three days.
He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. "I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming." Video Watch day laborers head home »
Across the United States, tens of thousands of immigrants -- those here legally and illegally -- are facing a similar dilemma: Do they continue to search for jobs in a struggling U.S. economy or return home to an even bleaker economic situation?

O.K. I'll take that how about this.
T-Mobile has a promotion that if your leaving the country due to economic
hard times its willing to send you and your fav 5 all on the same bus.
On them.
You guys are a bunch of fucking racists. All he wanted to was work hard to support his family. If he happened to get hurt the least we could do is pay for his medical costs. Whats one more unlicensed driver on the freeway (x 20 million). He just wants to get to work. Maybe poor pedro gets lonely and goes out on his wife, next thing you know they'll have a few anchor babies. We can pay for their delivery, food, education (which they won't give 2 shits about) all while daddy works under the table not paying taxes. But hey it could be worse because his sons will grow up being pos gangbangers. They'll rob and steal from real americans until they're incarcerated for the rest of their lifes and guess who gets to pay? But hey that's the american way right. BYE BYE pedro and don't come back make sure you tell everyone in gautemala how shitty it is here fucking parasite.

How come they don't all hop a bus for San Francisco? I thought SF would take in anyone and take care of them, as well as, shield them from the INS? It would be a shorter trip; probably would take the same amount of time, but would be a shorter distance.

Fn, Pedro left his 10 kids at my doughter's school (they get a free lunch, and health care, at Tri city) all paid for with my tax dollars. I wish they would quit stealing her things.
