I have family in this area. It's astonishing how much the RGV has changed in the past two decades. It's all become "malls" for those wealthy Mexicans they mention in the article. The American citizens who live in the RGV can't afford to shop or support the number of malls that now populate the main expressway.
So service industry jobs like working as sales clerks or other service jobs in these malls are the only employment opportunities this new batch of young American kids are getting.
