Given that justice can be known from the experience of injustice, what does the experience of the Mexican immigrants in Farmingville say about justice?

no hiring halls, and day laborers continue to congregate at local stores in search of work. The situation, while still tense, has become somewhat less inflammatory than it was when the Mexicans first arrived. 
Aggravated residents have either moved out orbecome more tolerant.
Questions
1. Given that justice can be known from the experience of injustice, what does the experience of the Mexican immigrants in Farmingville say about justice? 
2. Justice is something that continues to take root and flourish. In this case, though, polarization seems to have preempted solidarity, or has it? Why or why not?
3. Sacred Scripture reveals a God who has a special love for the “lost, last, and the least.” How do the Mexicans compare with the anawim that the Judeo-Christian Scriptures referred to as highly favored by God?
4. What are the risks that undocumented immigrants take by staying in Farmingville and not applying for citizenship?
5. The United States is a land of immigrants. Why do some in the United States proudly acknowledge this and yet not accept immigrants in their neighborhoods?
6. Consider this case on immigration as the “see” in the see-judge-act methodology CST uses to assess unjust political, social, and economic situations.
What principle(s) would you consider as helpful as an evaluative lens to “judge” this situation? What kind of “action” would you propose given what you “see” and “judge”?
