On average, I saw most Mexicans work on Hotel as a cleaning maid, and private, rich people house, they are also cleaning maid. In the real estate market, they are construction workers, and in the industry office, they are janitors. This meant that on average, our Mexican counterparts are working at low - level jobs according to average American people’s standard. If they not take those jobs, who would. For instance, once I asked a stripper, if she given a choice, to work at a factory, or still dancing for me? She rather pick the second one. Swallow her pride, and dance naked. I was amazed with her answer, because she won’t want to be condescended.

Have you ever seen a comedy called “one day without Mexicans”. It depicted a situation at California, suddenly one day, all the Mexicans disappear in California. No one do the cleaning jobs, and no one work at the farm. What happen next, economy crashed. Is it true that we need Mexicans to sustain our infrastructure level of our economy? Or we have to depend on minority to do the basic jobs?

From News, majority of Mexicans cross the border in long distance, in searching of jobs, and better life in America. It would take whatever possible to make money and return home. To make money, they won’t mind to clean, to field, and to serve. Then they can make money and send it back to their families back home. They are hard working, dedicated, and patient. The problem persist is that they are illegal. No matter how many years they living here, they still are illegal alien. Once I recalled a coworker told me a story of his neighbor in Los Angeles. Her next neighbor is Mexican, who living in the states for 30 some years, they got a house, and they got 3 children. They were just got deported, and left 3 children behind. Right now, the older one take care of house and the siblings. He can’t go to college, because he need to get a job to sustain the family, since his parents were gone. Is there lenient policy that let them stay and pay taxes as we do?

Sometimes, making a living is not as easy as we thought it gonna be. As our Mexican fellows, they couldn’t get a job back home, because of their corrupted government. They have to cross long miles to reach the states, and risk their lives for the meager dollars.
