In These Times

You say that "the strongest state economies in the United States are those with high numbers of migrant workers." Could this be a confusion of cause and effect? What if there are so many migrant workers in those states because they have strong economies, and not the other way around? I also found it interesting that the two local men you interview, Lopez and Garc'a, come from families of ten children. Perhaps that is also part of Mexico's problem? Mexico's population has grown fivefold since 1940 while that of the United States has "only" doubled.
