“But they are a better class of illegals than those in California.”

That’s a helluva interesting statement, Ben, and I’d love for you to expand that sentence and give us your best thought.

PS: not meant to be a criticism of you. Just fleshing out your ideas.

I was just joking with that "better class of illegals"

But, there are traditional patterns of illegal immigration as to destination. A particular village/town in Mexico may have a long tradition of immigrating to Texas while another may have the California tradition.

And this gives rise to the Mexican Home Town Associations in the US.
