Central American Migrants riding trains North to the US/MX border by maggieinmazatlan
I am interested in any thoughts, opinions, or personal experiences any of you may have to share about this situation

Okay, will do ! It really is funny to see the level of adoration these girls have. They come to class with homework notebooks sporting the British flag or wearing t-shirts or holding cellphone covers with the same. Someone is really cashing in. I ... Read More

Well, Fred I can enlighten you to one little tidbit you might find amusing: If you ask 100 teenage Mexican girls what country they would like to visit, 80 of them will say "England." My students are obsessed with England thanks to the band ... Read More

Here that is a question which plagues me. We often have people at the stoplights with signs saying their child has cancer. My husband, who is a street vendor, knows all the people who work in the street and he said one woman boasts making 1000-2000 ... Read More

And do you eat bakso, Fred? I'm curious where the brains and intestines come from. Here you can get tacos made from cows' eyeballs, among other things. Read More

Wow. I have seen a few people here who look like that. I thought maybe it was leprosy. But one I see regularly works in one of the most popular licuado places, making smoothies and nobody seems grossed out or afraid of her so I figured it ... Read More

Obviously you are talking Amtrak or something commercial? I trust you did not ride atop the cargo trains in Mexico which, by the way, the Mexican authorities are now prohibiting as a favor to the US government, who has asked them to do their dirty ... Read More

Yes, Hailey, I realize that this is not a topic that everyone will feel like commenting on. But I think many people in states which don't border Mexico may have had an acquaintance or co-worker from a Central American country, as did my daughter ... Read More

Thanks for your reply, beppi. I don't know much about the current state of the US rail system but the one I am talking about begins in the southernmost part in Mexico and carries the migrants as far as the US/Mexican border. Several trains have ... Read More

Thanks again, Fred. Your comments are very helpful as I feel my way along this unfamiliar path. You said I should start a blog... this is something I am confused about. I need to learn more about doing that and, when I do, I am happy that you want ... Read More

Me too, Fred. Those are among the questions I am asking them. I am extremely interested in how other nationalities view Americans and the US these days. I am often surprised at the comments my Mexican students make about the US. Many of them no ... Read More
