Here's a story that goes along with my old harangue about non-machine work 
being superior to machine work.  I can very much endorse the sentiment of 
the Mexicans here, I've go a donkey and you cannot ask for a more agreeable 
and useful animal.

The story repeats the phenomenon of young Mexicans coming here to work and 
sending the money back to the family farms in Mexico.  This has been often 
cited as reason to not have the Mexicans here.  But can someone explain to 
me why having them send money they have earned back to Mexico is a bad 
thing?  I just don't get it.
