![]() Quote:
As well there are a lot of "Latinos" Jeb and George wouldn't consider "familia" and the other way around. Most Mexicans are mestizo, the majority which came about in the 19th century. A minority are Indians, and some are white. Jeb's wife has a lot of white in her looks and she didn't grow up poor. Before the words came up in the second page of the linked article (some of it sappy, like eating huevos rancheros somehow proves that someone is "supermex" any more than bacon and eggs defines a patriot), I perceived the old fashioned Mexican about her. There's a difference between her and a typical border hopper, not the least that she came here in a legal manner. The comment about the Mexican reaction to a heart rending ranchera is universal in the culture, it is said that a Mexican party isn't successful unless everyone's crying while singing along with a ranchera song towards the end of the event. I like this quote: ``Columba`s problem is that she married a man who would later be entangled in important politics,`` says Columba`s older sister and closest confidante, Lucila Schmitz. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1...-bush-campaign (I edited this because the first link was to page two rather than page one) George is a corporateer, cheap labor fits into his makeup. However, he did embark upon a series of raids on employers of illegal aliens when his plan for amnesty foundered. Not sure if this was a political ploy of one or more sorts or was a genuine attempt to follow the will of the people.
