I was giving an example to show that not all Mexicans (though I am guessing these guys are legal)
work in a meat processing plant, pee on your dog and live in a van down by the river.

Some are good and hard-working people. Of course the solution to Mexico's problems isn't really to have every last one of it's citizens move to the US, that just leads to worsening conditions in Mexico in the long-run.

Also not all are hard-working family types ---you also might want to hold off on ogling those waiters because you can bet they've got wives and kids back in Mexico (most are married by 17-18 years of age)---enough of those marriages are falling apart.

Here's an example of the less than great kind of immigrants you'll also see because there is no regulation on immigration right now:

5 charged after teens, family threaten grandmother, steal $7,000

My only concern is that they are here legally, obey our laws, and assimilate. BTW, one of the local talk jocks here proposed that Mexican restaurants post copies of their employees' green cards for patrons to see.
