“The Mexican came to town Wednesday. You know of whom I speak if the above exchange, specifically, its format and tone – direct and decidedly politically incorrect – is familiar to you.

The Mexicans name is Gustavo Arellano, Arellano of the -by-way-Zacatecas Arellenos. His mother was born in Zacatecas to a of migrant workers. His father, also from Zacatecas, was an illegal immigrant who entered this country in the late 60s in the trunk of a Chevy and became a legal resident through the amnesty of the 1980s. His later became citizens, though, Arellano says, they live their lives in Spanish.”
