The article is about a Mexican.

I missed where it said it was about a Mexican. Please point it out to me. I probably need new glasses.

How do you know that? I've never heard the name, Isomar, before and cannot tell what nationality it is...so how can you?

Another poster points out that most of the Spanish speakers in Waterbury CT are Puerto Ricans or Dominicans. These people are as different from the Mexicans as the Irish are from the French or the Italians are from the Swedes. Of course, facts matter little on these hate Mexican threads, but I do read them because it is important to me, as an American, not to let the blind hatred of a few overtake the serious debate necessary to find a solution to this problem.

I can't find any reference to a Mexican in the article. Can you be more specific?

Actually, if it's CT she probably isn't a Mexican, more likely a Puerto Rican.

Same issues, wants us to learn Spanish so she can be more comfortable. One big difference, no illegal immigration issues with Puerto Ricans, they're already Americans
