I would think the climate in small towns towards illegals would be more hostile than in big cities. An illegal in Houston is water off a duck's back, but illegals in central Pennsylvania have found a very hostile environment.
I believe the climate is changing in general. However, it makes sense for illegals to try to relocate to areas where their numbers are few, and where they have not already depressed wages and decimated communities. It’s an untapped area.
I just got a visual of a swarm of locusts, going from area to area, leaving destruction behind them.
Hopefully the people in the smaller communities will fight to maintain their way of life. The number of ia's may be few but I doubt that will last long; they need their own 'community' since they have no desire to conform to American standards.

They do NOT need their own community, they need to go back to their own country.
Access to Water and Sewer Service. Because of the potentially serious consequences for public health and its effect on quality of life, one of the greatest concerns regarding the colonias is the lack of wastewater infrastructure and potable water.
Many colonias do not have sewer systems. Instead, residents must rely on alternative, often inadequate wastewater disposal methods. Septic tank systems, which in some circumstances may provide adequate wastewater disposal, often pose problems because they are too small or improperly installed and can overflow. The problem is exacerbated by the poor quality of colonia roads, which are often unpaved and covered with caliche or their materials that prevent thorough drainage. During heavy rains, water collects because of inadequate drainage systems, elevation and topography. These conditions, combined with inadequate septic tanks, often result in sewage pooling on the ground.
Even if the colonias had adequate sewer systems, the border area lacks sufficient facilities to treat wastewater. In many places, there are no treatment facilities at all. Consequently, border communities often discharge untreated or inadequately treated wastewater into canals and arroyos (a creek or stream), which then flow into Rio Grande River or the Gulf of Mexico.
Now I know what has happened to the Gulf, disgusting. They need to go so we can get to cleaning up their mess.

Many of these areas you could take a picture of and 10 of 10 people would think it was a poorer part of Mexico or Guatemala.
