Interesting....how did the Mexicans know to magically start showing up?
Word of mouth, most likely. The numbers of Mexicans around my hometown started out being pretty small, and gradually built up over the course of several years.
But you said: After 1971, they no longer showed up ... and not too long after that, the Mexicans started showing up instead.
How did they know to start showing up if they had not already been there?
