Who is Father Thomas Cano from Coyotes: A Journey Through the Secret World of America's Illegal Aliens and what is their importance?

Father Thomas Cano was the village priest in Ahuacatlan. He explained to Conover that the regular movement of men from the village to America created an entire economy of "widows and orphans". He also noted that the regular leaving was a horrible situation for the community, and that it brought in more problems than the extra money could solve. These problems, according to Father Thomas, included sexually transmitted diseases.
