âMexican immigrants paid nearly $600 million in federal taxes and sales taxes in 2002âŠMexican immigrants use about $250 million in social services such as Medicaid and food stampsâŠAnother $31 million in uncompensated health careâŠ.ââ That leaves a profit of $319 million.â
These numbers are impressive! It's really nice to know about everything that interconnects.
The Day of the Dead in November, they do this to represent all the women, men and children that lost their lives trying to cross the border.
Wow! This is extremely creative. It's just really sad that most people loose their loved one's in the process of crossing the border. đ
The Devil's Highway
"Mexicans still behind the barbed wire continue to listen to fabulous tales of Los Estados Unidos"(p. 206) Aka The American dream.
There are two fairly common jokes told about Americans among âundocumented entrants â A) Donât drink the water and B) For good American food, go to Taco Bell
The Devilâs Highway, Luis Alberto Urrea
For real though, Taco Bell is what gives me life!
(via josesolonmsu)
I agree they are partially the most popular jokes among the community.
I am sure at some point in the journey they felt like the air itself was on fire.
I bet this was awful for them!
Yes, when I've traveled in a dry dessert I feel that I'm dying Image the people that fight to survive another day.
The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea
The Devil's Highway was... a vast graveyard of unknown dead... the scattered bones of human beings slowly turning to dust... the dead were left where they were to be sepulchered by the fearful sand storms that sweep at times over the desolate waste."
I just canât say enough about âBrownsville.â I loved all the stories, even the ones that were bizarre because it felt like he captured much of the characteristics of border cities. It is one thing to live in the interior of the U.S., but we are fortunate to live near the border and understand the contributions that our Mexican and Mexican/American families have on the life styles we have become accustomed to enjoying. Living most of my life in New Mexico, I have always taken for granted the wonderful diversity that we have been blessed with. I watched a PBS news program this morning and was so surprised when they talked about the way to really fix the border problem because I have been saying it for a long time now. Instead of spending billions of dollars trying to do what has never worked, spend it on improving our backyardâhelp our neighborâinvest in the Mexican people in Mexico and literally eat the fruit of that new policy/economic shift! Love our neighborâwhere does this fit into things and I am not religiousâI am spiritual and believe only in unconditional love and equality for all. Â
I totally agree with you that we are fortunate to be able to experience the life near the border everything is different. I think we are just completely blessed to have experience this, Thanks to the past generations.

Interesting facts!!
I love these facts! It makes it so much more real.Â
Through these facts we can get an insight of what Brownsville is about and see how much connection there is in the borders that separate each other.
Oscar CĂ©sares.
It is really interesting to hear him talk, because he sounds and looks more American, but his writings are true to Chicano culture.Â
We can easily go wrong with such person. It's like like having to persons in one body which come together and write incredible regional stories.

This really reminds me of Mr. Z. All his fireworks being used throughout Brownsville.
This is how me and my family enjoy the fireworks.
Brownsville fireworks stand.
My family doesn't go out buy them. We just enjoy the view in our neighborhood.
Chango Spider Monkey Head
It's just really interesting to see that Bony found a friend in Chango although he was dead. I think felt that some how it was like if Mando was there with him. Nice picture.
I drew a sketch of Bony and Chango. Yeah, I have too much time on my hands.
Wow! Honestly it's awesome drawing. It's just a great image to describe Bony and his Chango.
This đ€! Love it
