Those I see on a daily basis are all from south of the border, so I can only speak from what I actually see myself. They stand in the food line at the Catholic Church and all have cell phones, late model cars/pickups/vans, are nicely dressed including the kids and only speak Spanish when the talk to each other. I say this from first hand observation.
