Ruiz’s observations will strike anyone who has hired eager Mexican and Central American workers as incredible. I pressed him repeatedly, insisting that Americans see Mexican immigrants as cheerful and hardworking, but he was adamant. “We’re creating an underclass,” he maintained.

Affluent white folks can send them out of the gated community when the yardwork is finished. The rest of us get to deal with the barrio.

Some come with a chip on their shoulder toward the United States, he says, which they blame for the political and economic failure of their home countries

Yes we are responsible for this. We invaded Mexico, flew the American flag in Mexico city in 1847, but gave it back to the corrupt goverment that started the war by not honoring the agreement General Santa Anna signed that acknowledged Texas as an independent state.

After giving Mexico back, we continued to prop up the corrupt governments and today, we allow Mexico a parasitic relationship with the US by disregarding the massive illegal immigration and allowing the blantantly illegal foreign aid program of remittances to keep the GDP of Mexico healthy and the cash flowing to support their failed goverment.

Yep, its all our fault.
