Illegal Immigrants Doing the Jobs Mexicans Won't Do
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/ ... orney-text
While sitting in my dentist's waiting room today, I read an interesting article about "Mexico's Other Border". The following excerpt really caught my attention:
In Chiapas, where coffee, banana, and mango harvests have depended for decades on Guatemalan agricultural workers, employers underpay undocumented workers or refuse to pay them at all, counting on them to fear repatriation too much to complain. Gang members as well as freelance toughs lurk along the riverbanks and footpaths, alert to the backpack-carrying travelers who may have money secreted away. Although certain villages along the freight train routes are known for locals who hand free food up to the migrants hanging off the railroad cars, the locals at other stops jump onto the cars to beat and rob migrants, sometimes with police watching or joining in.

I believe part of the 1.4 billion that BUSH wants to give to Mexico, will go towards Mexico securing its own southern border.
