"So Mexicans are taking Jobs from Americans"

"So Mexicans are taking Jobs from Americans", written by jimmy santiago baca. This poem seems to me like it is a reach out to people to tell them that we are accusing Mexicans of taking our jobs. Mexicans taking our jobs is not actually the issue; our issue is that people do not try harder enough to succeed. If we don’t succeed by ourselves we have to blame it on someone else such as the Mexicans, just for the reason that they do not belong here. The sentence "I see the poor marching for a little work"(line 24), to me states that we aren't trying hard enough to succeed, but then we resort to saying it is the Mexicans fault. Also the sentence I find to be very strong is "I hear Mexicans are taking your jobs away./Do they sneak into town at night, and as you’re walking home with a whore,/they mug you, a knife at your throat,/saying, I want your job?"(Lines 7-12). This creates an image as if from a movie of villains robbing the people. Also to use the word "whore" puts out quite an impression, seems to be almost insulting in a way.
