Well, Sandra and her husband moved here from Ca about five years ago. They had a small just over 1000 ft home there, and sold it for over $200K. They came here and bought a house over 2000 ft, a new SUV, built a pool in their yard and had money left to pay for their grandkids’ college.
They despise the illegal immigtants, because their families went through the trouble of doing it legally generations ago. Like I said earlier, she nor her husband speak much Spanish. Mostly stuff like “No comprende” or “pendeho”.
LOL, growing up in and around NM (even when we didn’t live there my Mom’s family did so we visited often) I know most of the bad words! That was a big help to me when I taught HS in East TX which was having an influx of illegals. The native East TX folk had no clue about the culture etc, but I knew exactly what the kids were about. I got along fine with them, and the first time I knew exactly what they were saying when they were using that language in my class, I got a level of respect. It was funny to me, because it wasn’t my intent at all, but heck, it worked because it made them settle down and they didn’t give me much trouble after that.
