Dear Mexican: With the current state and federal prison system spitting out even harder criminals due to overcrowding and gang activity allowed to a certain degree by the “system,” and considering the small percentage of inmates who actually make it out and live positive lives … why are some legislators, government officials and American citizens going on public record stating that illegal immigration can be fixed by merely charging illegals money for first-time offenses and prison time for repeat offenders? Our prison system, I think, would create more criminally minded individuals. I don’t know if there will ever be a law passed that would provide such punishment to those crossing the border, but with this growing Middle East war using up a very high percentage of the United States’ resources that could be used for domestic issues and purpose, I feel that if the citizens of the United States ever vote in the “wrong” presidential candidate, our new president will be pressured to pass a law to something of that effect.

Dear Gabacho: You’re saying that it’s wrong for politicians to enact draconian laws that imprison undocumented folks, and that we should elect a president who wouldn’t support such measures. Problem is, American voters went for the “right” presidential choice with Barack Obama these past two elections, and look at the results: More deportations have occurred under his administration (about 400,000 people a year) than there ever were in the era of Dubya.
Do Mexicans use cream of mushroom soup or is that a gringo/Campbell’s ploy to get white people to eat Mexican food? In the late 1960s and early ’70s, being from the casserole generation, cream of mushroom soup was a staple of all casseroles and my mom did not have the love for true green chile. The family chicken enchilada recipe called for cream of mushroom soup and Velveeta cheese. I loved it growing up, but now that I am older the enchiladas taste like shit, so I am working on a new family recipe. This has me wondering if cream of mushroom soup is used at all by those of Hispanic descent. One Royal Vomit
Dear Gabacho: Don’t forget that a lot of Mexicans came of age in the same era as you, so while cream of mushroom isn’t exactly a Mexican pantry staple, it’s not unheard of. Mexican food is chameleon-like and adapts to what’s available, ensuring its brilliance.
