"The Mexicans, besides being found in all industries, form the basis labor for farm and city. They dig trenches, lay railroad tracks, build streets, drive trucks, garden, peddle, and do anything and everything that heretofore had been done by the negro, the Italian or other European foreigners. The Mexicans have always had a monopoly of the common labor in San Antonio and more and more will they, as such, penetrate all parts of the United States." - PG 37
