I think some of the things about our immigration laws is interesting. Like the part that we don't let in "legals" for construction work. Hmmm, maybe somebody who wrote the law would like to save some work for our own citizens.

I'm one of those who don't belive the salad bowl we've made of our nation is working very well. How do we get the melting pot metaphor back as the prefered integration. Do we have to bring up the problems all the European nations are having with Muslim immigrants or England/Irish, or Spanish/Basque. Where do legal immigrants stand on the salad bowl, melting pot linguistics?

Don Quijote de Califas y su mil Sanchos en Arizona

The afternoons in Guanajuato are mild and warm, cool in the mountain mornings and cool in the rainy evenings. At dawn the campañas ring and the men carrying heavy rusted propane canisters shout “Gas! Gas!� for any family needing a replacement. For a few months I worked at La Pieza, a bar the size of a closet, off of Cantarranas street. Claudia, the owner, paid me about fifteen pesos an hour. In a morning, that came out to about eight dollars minus tips.

It was barely enough to stay afloat, so I needed another job. I took on extra work teaching English at one of the language institutes up the road, by the Presa de la Olla, with its tranquil garden and splashing waters. There, I earned about thirty pesos an hour, which converts to about three dollars per class. At two classes, I was earning about six dollars a dayâ€â€
