By Gustavo Arellano
Dear Mexican: I’m an illegal alien. Got here on a tourist visa and stayed for a job. My gabacho employer knows about it and doesn’t give a crap. I don’t apologize about it, as ever since I can remember, the USA has meddled around other countries’ business like it owns the world.

ASK A MEXICAN!

By Gustavo Arellano
Real Mexicans eat real homemade corn tortillas. Pasty white Mexicans eat processed flour tortillas made at the Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque. Then they get food poisoning. DENVER.

Ask a Mexican!

By Gustavo Arellano
Dear Wab: Not only are Mexicans in the Border Patrol, but la migras own figures show that Latinos make up about 52 percent of its force, comfortably outnumbering gabachos (that pop you just heard was the exploding heads of apoplectic Chicano studies majors).

Ask a Mexican!

By Gustavo Arellano
Dear Gabacho: Your question is spot-on, but it's taken a while for Elvis to achieve icon status amongst Mexicans.
