that I was in another part of the country recently, a place far, far away from Mexico. I was really, really suprized to wake up one morning, go to the local service station and see about twenty men of Mexican origin out trying to get day labor. At that moment it dawned on me that the situation for many, many people in Mexico (and most parts of the world) is dire. Would you leave your family and travel thousands of miles away to be day laborer?

How can anyone blame them for trying to get into the US? They most likely are hereos in their communities, not criminals.
