I hope so, and not that you should be suspicious of your neighbors, but “illegal immigrant” doesn’t mean none know how to fit in. Since the Mexican-American War, the southern border has been leaky both directions. Many illegals still sneak in, behave and lay low, take hard-labor jobs under the table, and happily earn minimum wage. Some work here for 4-6 months and go back to Mexico to live like kings the rest of the year. Rinse, repeat. Border states have functioned fairly well that way. The problems have always been cash leaving the US, fewer entry-level jobs, and too many American kids who don’t know the value of starting at the bottom and working hard with dirty fingernails.
the Mexican families near by are all hard working in gardening, having their own business so I think all of them are legally.
