Illegals used to come to Texas to work. And they worked their butts off, and yes, there is some truth to the saying that they did jobs that no one else wanted.Often they would get a temporary work permit, often they would not. Mostly farming, and some ranch work, chicken egg farms, etc. Like i said, they kept a very low profile, caused no trouble and asked for nothing but their pay. What has happened as I see it, is that the democrat party saw them as a group they could exploit just as they have the blacks.Promise them free everything,encourage them to have anchor babies in order to expand their voter base. Even if half of them never voted, the democrats don’t care,taxpayers can foot the bill.The relationship Texas had with illegals wasn’t too bad before liberals got involved.
