Yes, it is odd, for years ago, the illegals were mostly here to work and we had no fear of them at all.

I don't remember those. I was in El Paso and it's been the precursor to what the rest of the nation will become. Illegals there just came over to get free handouts, either through crime or welfare/foodstamps/medicaid. Now, the city is so bad that most whites/asians/other have left. It's the only city in Texas to take more money than it pays. Crime and schools are very bad. I imagine the rest of the country will follow suit soon. :(

Men coming here to work, were what I grew up with in San Diego, at Otay and in Wellton, Az.

And then about 1977 they changed, it was what we have today, unless it was one of the older ones, that had come through before.

Our place was the first they came to, after a more than 40 mile walk across the Yuma desert.
