It's pretty much as Tammy describes it here too. Illegals from Mexico aren't anything new here though--and I think "panic mode" might be a little bit of an exaggeration. Being we're only a few hundred miles from the border there's always been illegals around, and there have always been jobs for them to fill--jobs that would go unfilled if they weren't here because most people aren't willing to do the type of work it involves for what it pays.
