operative word is kid. I did that too. I live on a golf course. There isnt one legal person working on that golf course. Most are from mexico, guatamela, etc. I have no problems. They are fine people looking to make a living and a better life for their parents. If the jobs werent there, they would not come. If there was no school and our kids did the scut work instead, then they wouldnt come.
On the local farms they pick the fruit in summer. They do low wage labor work for contractors. And so on. My wife teaches some of their kids. Very needy but at least enjoying a better life. I have mixed emotions on what is right to do here. People vote with their feet. mike
