The System Is Broken, Ad Nauseam <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

There’s a fruit vendor in my border hometown in Texas who sells fresh fruit from his truck. He’s a popular figure because he’s good with the “pilon,” the baker’s dozen giving, let’s say, 15 oranges for the price of a dozen. His wife was a coveted seamstress until an immigration patrol picked her up and sent her back to Mexico. She was gone a few months, probably took the time to visit relatives, and now she’s back again to her routine, probably still illegal.

Baby Doc’s Second Act by <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

Youheard the one about the three biggest lies in the world? “Of course, I’ll still love you in the morning.” “The check is in the mail.” “I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help.” That last one can be applied in a somewhat similar context to Jean- Claude Duvalier, the former president of Haiti who showed up unexpectedly in Port-au-Prince in January saying he was so moved by the current plight of his countrymen that he had to come home to help them.

Maybe Harvard scholar Samuel Huntington and conservative political activist Patrick Buchanan were right several years ago when they predicted that soon enough, the U.S. would be lousy with Latinos, mostly Mexicans. It’s already happening, but not to the extreme these two xenophobes predicted in their best-selling books that warned that if the population and migration trend continued – which it has – a wealth of Americans would soon be speaking Spanish and eating tacos.

The Teaching Profession Under Siege <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

Other than my parents, the greatest influences in my life have been teachers or people related to teaching. It dates to a declaration early in my life about the values of an education and about learning. My parents told my brother and me they would do whatever it took and make whatever sacrifices to push us to get a formal learning because, as they explained, you can lose all your material possessions but no one can ever take away an education.
