I bought this book once before I moved to Mexico, and it quickly made the rounds between my ex-patriot friends. I had to purchase it again because it eventually migrated out of my circle of friends…Anyways, this book contains authentic Mexican slang, and is a blast to read with a Mexican, because they will be laughing at your gringo accent speaking their slang. It’s also great because you can then let your Mexican friend in on the English equivalents. This book provided hours and hours of back and forth laughs.The book covers casual business appropriate (safe for work) slang down to the most raunchy gutter talk. It also tells you where each phrase or word can be used, which is useful, since they often have different euphemisms to say the same things, depending if you are in church, playing poker, out in mixed company, or playing pool in a smokey bar. The book does this creatively by introducing each word or phrase through a fictional character who would typically use each

Do you know how the Government spends your money on illegal immigrants?
Here Is a sample!!From a school teacher – - -”As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration there are some things that you should be aware of: I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1school, meaning that its students average lower socio-economic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about – South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc.-where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. One hundred percent of the students in this school and other Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and roll — but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day Graffiti Language care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center; half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them “Putas” (whores) and throwing things that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements? To my bleeding-heart friends who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs. Higher insurance, Medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc., etc. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes. We need to wake up. The Guest worker program will be a disaster because we won’t have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way. It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about “politically correct” that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.
