My dads family was the same, he was born in 1919. It was like modern day Mexicans now. I am sure it is the same everywhere. Here is Indy every Mexican female looks like she is 17 or 18, has 4-6 kids hang onto to her, and her belly looks like she is carrying 3 more. Fucking crazy. And we are paying for them.
The difference is that back then the kids were getting up, helping out on the farms and what not, then going to school, and then coming home and helping out on the farms again.
That was my dad's day to day Mon-Friday.
Talk about working hard.
