One point that stuck with me after reading this section of chapter four was when Massey was discussing the issue of legal Mexican immigrants finding a job. Growing up I was always told that you don't get opportunities or jobs unless you know someone or you know someone who knows someone. It's not like Mexicans are any different from any other person, they have to know someone too. They are people.
I just want to state this, I don't feel like the so called "problem" with immigration is going to be resolved at any point in time in the near future. I'm not even sure if the government knows what the real problem with immigration is, I don't even know if there is a true problem with immigration. And there will never be a clear answer to the question of, "What is the true underlying problem with immigration?"
