“Federally Sponsored Mexican Migrants”

I was very surprised by the reading "Federally Sponsored Mexican Migrants" because I have always thought of the South as a very "American" place. I say that meaning that from what I have seen since I have been living down here is that people like things that are made in America,  for example American cars. The song "Made in America" by Toby Keith sums up my experience living in South Carolina. That is why I was surprised by the article, it was hard for me to believe that North Carolina is one of the top states using seasonal immigrants for labor. I understand that these people coming into the country are in need of work, but with the state of our economy and our current unemployment rates I think that we should stop importing labor. If we stopped importing labor then more unemployed would have jobs, creating more disposable incomes which would help our economy.
