Not too many Cubans in NYC, and those that used to live in Hudson County, NJ have gone to suburbia or Florida.

The rural Northeast and southern Appalachia now have substantial Mexican-American population who are working in agriculture and other industries.

As RaceBannon can tell you, they have taken over tobacco picking in Connecticut, work that used to be done by local teens and then West Indians.

Is there a place to find out the LEGAL number Aliens in a city.

It seems since resident aliens are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to keep their information current, we should be able to find this information out.

Then NY taxpayers should be able to decide how much they like living in a city which could be less congested.

Why aren't sustainable development types against illegal aliens? The gut any kind of such utopian iron fist control schemes.

...And Jamaicans, too.

They used to bus up kids from Florida to do work in the summer as they expanded fields, but they caused too many problems being homesick and all, running off from camp...

Whoever or wherever they are from, they are Hispanic, not local, not Puerto Rican, appear to be Mexican or Central American, male and femal working in the fields.
