Losing Illegals

What do you think will be the effect on the rental market when illegals in the south west states start going back to Mexico because they can't find jobs?

I've read a few reports that people are slowly starting to head back because the demand for construction workers has dropped soo much. One article says that there has been a sharp increase in the number of families that are actually sending money FROM Mexico to their relatives in the US to help out. Wow.

For those of you in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. Are you seeing vacancies as a result of day laborers leaving? Wasn't sure if it would have an effect.
