"There's no doubt that Los Angeles has benefited from the infusion of hard-working illegal workers who clean hotel rooms, bus restaurant tables, and otherwise keep its billion-dollar tourism industry humming."

WRONG!
There is every doubt in the world, there is absolute and unavoidable eye-witness proof that there has been just the opposite of a benefit to LA or to the South West at large.
Just downright, damned, wrong!

The subject of this article notes that downtown LA is basically Tijuana with high rises.
The very places these thugs are 'escaping' follow right along.
The PC bureaucrats and special interests aid and abet the transition that will someday allow them to skim off as much as their mexican counterparts.

Everyone wins except the middle class, the 'American' populace, that will get up and leave; hopefully before the real estate market nose dives again.

Everyone wins except the middle class

I'm wondering when they're going to wake up.

Got that right. LA was described for me by a couple of Englishmen who vacationed there as a "sh*thole".
