We all agree here. Even Mexican-Americans agree....except for managers at Sam's Club and Walmart.

Even worse! I was watching a show broadcast from Juarez the other day and they had a panel discussion about the problems massive migration is causing Juarez. That city is overwhelmed by people moving in from the southern states and Guatemala and Honduras. They aren't equiped to handle hundreds of thousands of indigent people, and it had never really occurred to me until I heard them talking but Juarez had it's own culture decades ago that is being destroyed by so many coming in from other places who don't fit in. They too don't like the refugee camp appearance their city now has and they mentioned the huge increase in crime and how many of the migrants are criminals.

What was nice about watching that show ---they have all the exact same concerns as people in parts of the US and there was no racism accusations (I guess since it's all their own race). Even the priest on the panel brought up the issue of social injustice in Mexico and Central America as being the main push behind the level of migration that is now going on. Most people prefer to stay in their own hometowns and would if they could.
