If you would like to clue in, the reason they have always come to the United States is for work. They don't come fleeing the cartels or they don't come trying to sell drugs.

It's not all a noble escape from the cartels.

My mother was born in 1934 in San Antonio and later moved to Dallas. I grew up there and never had air conditioning until I was 13. Wasn't so tough.
