It is all good, the illegal aliens they hire for landscaping are sending the money back to their families in Mexico.

As thousands of teachers from the state of Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico converged for a protest in Mexico City, the New York Times published a front-page article alleging that the family of José Murat Casab, a former governor of Oaxaca, and his son Alejandro Murat Hinojosa—the current head of Infonavit, the federal government mortgage lender for laborers—has amassed millions of dollars worth of property in the U.S. over the course of their careers.
The family was reported to own six properties in the U.S., including a condo in Manhattan that overlooks Central Park and another in Boca Raton, Florida. The suggestion of mysteriously gotten wealth are an embarrassment for Murat, a politician who portrays himself as a man of humble means who left office with “the same trousers, with the same shoes, with the same shirts and the same car” that he owned when he took office.
For the teachers who work in Mexico’s poorest rural communities, the Murat scandal is just one more source of frustration with the country’s political system. On Feb. 11, with protesters gathered in front of the statue of the Angel of Independence, a man in a gray long sleeve shirt yelled into a microphone, “We’re frustrated with the political parties.”
A few blocks away in the plaza in front of the copper-topped Monument to the Revolution, teachers from Oaxaca, the third-poorest state in the country, waited for their colleagues at the march to make their way back to the makeshift tent-city where the teachers were staging a sleep-in.[…]
Martinez says that frustration with entrenched poverty and the lack of effort and investment in improving schools in southern Mexico is the driving force that has united teachers from different parts of the state to work together in a coordinated protest.
“Murat—he took money from the people and bought chauffeurs and ranches. He took from the public coffers and bought properties in the United States,” Martinez claimed, despite the fact that the Times article makes no claim that Murat Casab did anything illegal.
Standing in front of the monument commemorating Mexico’s 1910 revolution, Martinez said he feels like many of the original ideals of the revolutionary fighters have been forgotten.
“The Mexican revolution didn’t give the poor anything. They took some [property] from the wealthy but it’s the politicians who have gotten rich,” he told FNL.
