The employee returned to Mexico because he was laid off at his day-time job in construction, could not find comparable work due to the slumping housing market, so he resigned from the night-time parking attendant job and moved back home.
"He said his prospects for finding full-time work are now better in Mexico than they are in the U.S.," the restaurant owner said. He now works in Mexico City, where his family also is, he said.
