NY has had a large influx of Mexicans-- 15 years ago, most of the "Latino" population didn't exist-- we had Hispanics (which was just an other name for PR)-- now -- columbians (nice ones, not just drug war lords) peruvians, mexicans, Salvadorians (a report in the NY times said Salvadorians living in US sent back 100X more money than US relief funds did after the most recent disaster--)

an other NY time report said illegal immigrant workers on Long Island (mexicans, in this case) were getting paid $15 an hour! (of course, no SS, no benefits, no sick leave, and for most not even steady work)-- but still $15 an hour! This is of course attracting more immigration!
