24. Immigrants weren't an issue back when I worked in union jobs.
So I don't know. I did work alongside Mexicans and other hispanics. I don't know why this issue flamed into what it is today. As long as the immigrants worked in California and the Southwest no one was concerned. It's when they started spreading to the east and north that all the white people got up in arms about it. Also, many of those northies and easties have retired to the Southwest bringing their bigotry with them.
