I think the vast majority of Mexican immigrants are like my neighbors on either side of me in Oceanside. I lived in a small barrio populated mostly by Mexican immigrants.
On one side, lived a young couple who were born in the US to illegal parents, who lived with them. Between them all, they bought their house. Their parents kept getting sent back to Mexico, so finally they sold their house and bought a ranch in Mexico.
On the other side lived an ever-shifting cast of recent illegal immigrants, mostly related to each other. A consortium of Mexican gentlemen if you will. They put up a tarp over their backyard to handle the overflow. As new guys would come in, others would return to Mexico. They all worked for their landlord, a more established formerly illegal immigrant who had his own landscaping company.
All these people were good people that I came to be glad to have as neighbors.
