and send the money they make back to their families in Mexico..
one guy told me they organize work crews for contracted jobs and bus them all up together.. he said that once he got on a government bus and it took them a couple of days later ,at night, into a fenced compound with watch towers. it turned out to be a marijuana farm and they were slave labor, he met people that had been in there for 2 years with no pay.. he said he escaped and came north. he said they have a slogan in Spanish that means "California is MINE".. i had heard that in the late 60's... well it seems they have it pretty much taken back now..
presently 10% of the population of Mexico has migrated to the united states for work. Mexico is the 8th wealthiest country in the world, it is 8th... France is 9th. Mexico has a divided social structure.. the "have it alls" and the peasants. by exporting their poverty they have made themselves immensely wealthy... and 20,000,000 migrants do take American jobs. and drive up the cost of available housing.. if you dont live where there are thousands of migrants standing along the side of the road where the Americans pick them up to do day labor for sub minimum wage... you soon will be. i have lived where the Mexican gangs moved in and they closed the city parks, it wasn't safe to be outside walking.. i had a friend knifed by an immigrant gang member as he just walked by him. within 5 or 6 years 80% of the locals had moved out, i had relatives that their beds on the floor and had 4'X 8' sheets of steel attached to the walls around them and the living room walls because of drive by shootings.
i am not trying to stigmatize all immigrants, but this does happen and where it does the police are helpless to do anything about it.
in Atlanta the county is building an Illegal Immigrant employment center to get the crowds of Mexicans off the street. at the cost of over a million dollars. about 3500 show up there every month.. the Boarder Patrol does not even stop them any more nor do the police.. if they accidental do find out they are illegal they just let them go.. there is no boarder .. by dis-funding the boarder agencies and police they in effect just opened them up
