" .. .the center will...conduct research under two broad categories: the causes and consequences of the flow of workers and capital between the United States and Mexico; and Mexico's efforts to solve its development probÂ*lems .... "The center will continue its analysis of the use of documented and unÂ*documented workers in various industries in California and of how those inÂ*dustries might be affected by proposed changes in immigration laws. A key issue is whether reliance on migrants by some companies deprives American workers of jobs, as is often alleged by those calling for stricter immigration controls. "The center is also examining the role ofexpanded households in maintainÂ*ing the pool of migrant labor. It is common for two or three families to live together .... This provides economies in living costs not available to AmeriÂ*can workers .... In another project, the center will publish a case study of efforts by the Arizona Farmworkers Union to obtain union contracts for unÂ*documented Mexican agricultural laborers. Research will continue on an
unusual development program organized by the union .... Among other topics to be explored are the access of migrants to social services, the protection of their legal rights, and the special needs of the children of undocumented miÂ*grants. "

BTW, I know this is old news to some, but I decided to post it because some folk who are just waking up to the illegal movement don't really know about the massive machine behind it.

The above contributions refer to simple fiscal allotments up until 1989, which is important. It is estimated that the Ford Foundation and Associatted charities like moveon dot org, via Rabb have poured over $200,000,000 dollars into just the infrastructure of the open borders movement over the past 18 years. The purpose of this foundation exercise is to set up suppossed "minority" charities to which Corporations supporting globalism and open borders can donate and receive tax write-offs. Also, it is important to note that a good majority of these organizations share tax umbrellas and you can easily find, as is the case for most socialist and collectivist entities, a massive sharing of leadership and staffers.
