The point is that families didn't just evacuate when it turned into US territory. There are very strong ties to Mexico in the southwest that will never go away.

And what does it have to do with foreigners illegally coming to do these seasonal jobs? People who were here when it became US territory just became citizens.

How does it apply to the specific case mentioned in the parent? How does it relate to illegal workers who somehow are now "trapped" in the US because some weird fringe program was stopped?
