Amen, Ilbegone, yes they are truly a mixed bag that put together do not make a homogeneous group. I live in an extremely saturated area and have found some that may even have close family or friends that are illegal, yet they themselves don't entirely agree that they (the illegal friend or relative) should have come illegally or remain knowing they'd become illegal. Yet, they don't speak up because it would put them in the status of the "anti-illegal" group like us. Sometimes they will talk to me, but only if we're alone. Some don't like to work with other Mexicans because they see them as trouble makers or not all that bright. Yes, they are not all the same, but you have to spend time with some and gain their trust to learn the truth.
