They’re all over the place down there. Perhaps Senator Cruz should visit Mexico before stating something like this.

I remember when we used to walk across the bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros heading to the Old Market and as soon as you hit the Mexico side the bridge was lined with beggars but they were always very old people. We drove through Mexico some 40 years ago and every little town had kiddos wanting to sell us Chicklets gum. As I do remember though, all the little boys were clad in spanking clean white shirts which were tucked in and dark slacks and all wore a belt. Always amazed me as to how the kids managed to stay so clean looking. Street vendors galore but they were all selling something, not begging.

Same here. All along the El Paso/Mexico bridges. Older folks and kids. That was years ago, though.

Well it wasn't exactly panhandling, it was a guy trying to rent me his sister and it was the last time I went to Mexico, I think that was thirty years ago.
