mexicans are total trash. this trash has been in california for 160 years and all they still do is mop floors, wash dishes, and park cars.mexican = "human" trash. why don't these "people" get some self-respect and dignity and go back and fix meHico instead of coming here and leeching off Americans.

Tlazokamali juan felipe you're a natural and a pro-poet from way back, before barcodes and book store chains. It's wonderful how you shared your corner library de chapbooks that most people won't ever see. Que viva floricanos, cantos al pueblo, and nuestro carnal Coahiltecan tejano poet raulrsalinas!Mitlan has welcomed many from the first onda, will the younger poetas known them? You keep the fires burning. Abrazos, a reader. |
