A job. A raise.

Editor,
Where is the exploded myth? Mexicans immigrating to the U.S. illegally are fleeing pay and working conditions that are at least as bad as the trip north is dangerous. Otherwise, why would they take the risk? Also, if their pay and working conditions here are dismal, which they are, what word describes their pay and working conditions where they came from? Man. Give ideologues a newspaper, and out pops 48 pt. propaganda.
