No wonder Mexico doesn’t want to shut off the spigot of Illegal Immigration, Mexico gets the windfall while American taxpayers get the bill, for education, healthcare, and housing.

You do understand there is a difference between a migrant worker and an undocumented immigrant, right? The migrant workers in my area work for the local farms starting in early spring until late fall, mostly tobacco. The work that even the unemployed US citizens won't take on because it's gross, ridiculously hot during topping and suckering and backbreaking work. They earn the money and can whatever they choose to do with it.

The vast majority of the migrant workers in this area are adult males, sometimes there are adult females, but not often. The farmers put them up in older houses or trailers on their property usually several of them to one house. They work all day, come home, wash their clothes (and hang them out, that's how I know), cook their meals, go to sleep and start all over again the next morning.
I’m surprised the US government hasn’t started taxing the hell out of those transfers even more than they already do.
Overall, I have a favorable opinion of immigrants and I think we need a robust guest worker program where people can go back and forth across the border easily. They definitely shouldn’t be voting in any US election, though.
But anybody who has travelled has seen that most countries have very restrictive immigration policies in place. Oddly, the US doesn’t, though. They encourage people to cheat the system. It really makes no sense to me. It seems like the US has the only government on earth where their citizens come last.

I don't think the OP has a clue as to what a migrant worker actually is.
