If I had a penny for each time I’ve heard the argument that English is the language of the land, or that immigrants must speak English in the United States, I’d be off on an island basking in the sun with a Margarita on hand and never looking at my Internet feed. But as we’ve […]

Nationalism Is Now The Future
It is with great sadness that I must now admit that the future is bleak with nationalism and xenophobia driving the political agendas of the major countries. Last week’s win by Boris Johnson make this crystal clear. For those that might not remember, Johnson was one of the major architects behind Brexit. His recent campaign […]

The Trump Twilight Zone
I am the first one to admit that I have a bias against Donald Trump. Ok, so maybe a very deep bias. As such, there is an inherent distortion in my worldview when it comes to Trump. That said, I can’t for the life of me get over the Twilight Zone of a world where […]

Remember How Mexico Sends Its Worst? How About Saudi Arabia?
Remember when Donald Trump told everyone that México sends “rapists” to the US? As a Mexican immigrant I took his rhetoric about México sending its worst personally. Since then I have been on a mission to show Trump’s hypocrisy when it comes to immigrants. The latest example of hypocrisy is how Trump talks about Mexican […]

The World Laughed At Donald Trump – Again
For many years I carried the hidden secret that people in the U.S. would make fun of my government. Jokes about beans, poverty and corruption were/are pervasive. México, like all countries, has its problems but U.S. people (the arrogance of Americans forgets that America is a continent) don’t seem to notice or understand their own […]
