Looks like Chi wrote this blurb:
"Migrant work in California has long absorbed Mexican surplus labour, while Mexico has in effect paid for the education, health care and retirement of California's farmworkers," writes Schlosser. "Maintaining the current level of poverty among migrant farmworkers saves the average American household around $50 a year."
So California is stealing from Mexico? Keeping Mexico poor? All the Western Unions on every streetcorner block are filled with needy hypereducated horticulturist health nuts sucking money dry from Mexico because the Bel Aire jetset enjoy legalized slavery?
A more erudite spindoctor would at least update the 1950 Czar Chavez storyline. Meanwhile activists pass out pamphlets explaining how Mexico will take back California. At least they're story is a current affair.
Downtown LA isn't Latino it's Mexican. I'm not sure if South Americans feel uncomfortable there but they vote with their feet.
