Not really. My immigrant grandparents came here legally, not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do. My immigrant grandfather spoke 5(five)languages when he came here. He learned French when he lived in Canada, earning the money so he could go to the US to save the money so his family could come to the US. That sounds nothing like how the bracero do it.
Moses, you should really go outside more often if you don't think illegal immigration is a problem. The crushing loads placed on the infrastructure in California will destroy this welfare state. As California goes, so goes the rest of the country, read up on that one.
BTW, yes the illegal immigrants constantly portray thmselves as victims. "Our children(All 11 of them) would starve to death if we stayed in our own country. We can't come to the US legally because it is too expensive and takes too long. We deserve to have driver's licenses because we do the jobs you won't. How can I take my children to school(that your tax dollars pay for, we don't pay taxes) or the hospital(for free health care at the ER courtesy of your tax dollars)
