They are the hardest workers, it makes me appreciate the vegtables at the grocery store. I have really learned to love the people of my class. I teach them basic english for the intermediate class and my wife teaches beginners who speak little or no english. The lessons and homework are like life skills in english, like going to get ID cards, doctor appoinments, shopping, job interviews, things to help them get better higher paying jobs. I'm a white boy who learned and studied spanish living on the texas/mexico border and my wife's dad is from el slavador and she lived in Bolivia. So she speaks better than I do, but I think I do pretty good for a white boy. What do you guys think of illegal immigration? How about taking english classes? Any one ever done any field labor?
