[quote=Anonymous]A previous poster asked why the immigrants do not move to the great open spaces of the United States, where the land is plentiful and the cost of living is cheaper (like Red Cloud, Nebraska?). Why did you move to the Washington metro area instead of Garden City, Kansas? The same economics that bring so many highly-educated, post-graduate jobseekers to Washington, DC, also attracts immigrant workers -- namely a well-paid, robust job market, in an affluent area with good public schools. These immigrants prepare food, care for children, clean clothes, tend to the landscaping, clean houses, build new homes and renovate old ones, repair cars, maintain commercial buildings -- basically support the lives of the many affluent in this area. I know several Latino families who moved to this region from Southern California because they felt that they had better job opportunities here.[/quote]
