    He had ample reason to be afraid. He left in August, days after a father was kidnapped for ransom as he dropped his child off at the same school Hernandez’s children attended in a north Mexico city.

    “One night, I told my wife ‘Pack the bags — we’re leaving,’" Hernandez said. “The fear we felt caused us to get in the car and drive for 12 hours to get to Houston.â€

    Yes, they actively encourage their poor to migrate here. Remember the comic book telling them how to sneak over the border?

    BUT the wealthy and middle class, they want to keep.

    I certainly have no problem with them coming here as long as they come here legally and follow our laws.
