The word "Mexican" is a proper name of a nationality. It is spelled with a capital "M".

Thanks, Konstantin. I was a bit too startled to have the presence of mind your response evidences.
I am curious, Frode Mo, what a German journalist like yourself, would do with the information? We may collectively be able to address what you actually want to know about, or direct you to some resources which can. Your intent is not clear... But if you are looking for info on migrant farmworkers try typing "Cesar Chavez", or even "migrant farmerworker" into your search engine. I know those will bring up some links and resources.

Mr. Frodo: I would say that the majority of migrant field workers board trains for there destanion in Yuma Area. From all the reasearch ive done the yuma yards are a hot plact to catch north bounders. if the migrants did not enter the usa the american farmer would be ruiened ant the price of food stuff would be outragious

The migrant 'Mexican' workers are usually the ones that are the central american Mexican indians (NOT THAT I WISH TO GENERALISE) and are, more often not, illegal immigrants and tend to be exploited. They come from the mountains, etc...
