They just happen to live in Mexico because it is much cheaper to live there. Also some of them are married to Mexican citizens who can't cross the border so they have to live there.

Read a little and learned that mexicans were in Texas and California before anglo americans, the border crossed them...they didn't cross the border. There are americans that are not anglo, I beliive that over 30 million hispanic americans. Some people chose to live in Mexico and cross every morning to work in hte US. Ifyou were from a border town, you would know it. Also border cities depend heavily on mexican people buying their products, again, if you were from a border town you would know it. Go to states like Louisiana and see what discrimination is if you are not from there. Illegal people can not get scholarships or dental and medical care like someone wrote here. If you go and try to get free health care and dental care you can not get, try it. They will review your background, income, etc. etc. It is extremely ignorant to think that because you are illegal they will not review your personal data. I do not why people complain so much when the same illegals clean our crap and put the food that we eat on our table. If you dont like it you should complain about the corporations that hire the illegal aliens. They are the ones with the power, not the guy cleaning our gutters!! They even go an d recruit in Mexico. it might be ignorance, apparwntly you think that only anglo-americans are americans.

Most of the immegrants that are coming over to Texas will work for any wage and do any job. I read a story once that Mexican immegrants will work for pennies on the dollar. Basically they ride the system. They work here without paying taxes, they get medical and dental care and scholarships. It is not fair. Write to your congressman. There are ways to stop immegration but it takes more than just a few people. Yes, it is illegal. Most of the immegrants that are coming over to Texas will work for any wage and do any job.

Its very frustrating, but they are coming and the numbers are growing.
