I worked construction (laborer) during summers in HS and college. It was a king's wage to me at that time.

That avenue is now closed off completely to our kids. Those are 100% "Mexican jobs" today.

There are two rather large buildings under construction near my home. The framing and roofing workers are Mexican or local white meth addicts who can't get any other job. The major exception is the skilled labor doing plumbing and electrical that will be inspected by the city inspectors.

Pocatello doesn't have a large Mexican population yet. The fast food places are mostly the local high school kids from the majority white population. The population of Mexican laborers was seasonal a few years ago. Now we see them year round at Walmart and Winco Foods. The low riders with ridiculous hydraulics arrived last summer. The Mexican gang culture has found a following at the nearby Shoshone reserveration. The gang task force has identified around 300 active members on the reservation.
