Reply To: Otro Mexicano…..

[.]

Something I was just reading today (I have never considered before)…

The type of men who cross the border are typically very uneducated, come from poverty, and have poor social structure Where they’re from.

Of course there is always an exception to the rule. Of all the people that I have met who have crossed the border illegally, (a TON) I can honestly say I’ve never met one with a college education…Or if they do you have a college education it was earned after they crossed the border, not before.

Just like here in the United States when people are from poverty they are more likely to commit crimes and cause trouble.

What this has forced me to reconsider is really whether or not I really know anything about the mexican culture, or only a very small minority within it.

It would be the equivalent of studying the poor slums of Mississippi, and reasoning that that represents the entire United States (as an example).

It actually brings a whole new perspective, and quite a bit to think about for me….
