    Yeah that’s probably for the best. Things ain’t going so well up here anyway.

    After the mistreatment they often receive from some Americans, I can’t say I blame them.

    I’ll contend all day long that the ‘Texas Miracle ™’ is largely built on the backs of underpaid Latin/Mexican labor. (I would say totally, but that oil $$$ does its work too.) Republicans shitting all over immigration does, in fact, rob their localities of economic gains. I hope migrants in Mexico are treated more humanely than the United States has done. Hell, that’s still quite the low bar.
