Columbus les gusta, en general Ohio por sus pasiajes, lagos y rios muy bonitos; les gusta que es tranquilo es un buen lugar para que los ninos estudien porque no hay muchas pandillas, pero piensan que ultimamente hay mas racismo y delincuencia.
Acerca de la sociedad Americana dicen que tienen muchos clientes americanos. Opinan que como hay americnaos buenos tambien hay Americanos malos que quién los tienen con túnica. Se han llevado propinas y dinero que tenian para una colaboracion comunitaria. No les gusta el racismo y que la policia se lleva a los que trabajan y a los que deben de llevarse los dejan. Opinan que la policia tarda siempre en llegar cuando habla un Hispano aunque hable ingles y otras veces ni siquiera llega.
Opinan que para poder convivir mejor con la sociedad americana les gustaria: “Que fueramos mejor aceptados y que vean que venimos a trabajar y a aportar al pais, que nos traten como personas”
Para integrarse a la sociedad americana saben que necesitan aprender Ingles y acloparse a los reglamentos asi como respetar el pais.

They like Columbus, all Ohio in general. They like the landscape of Ohio, lakes and rivers. They like Columbus because it is very relaxing. They think that it is a very good place for their children to study because there are not many gangs. But they think that lately racism has risen.
About the American society they say that they have many American customers. They think that there are good American people, but also there are bad Americans who have robbed their gratuities and money that they have for communitarian collaboration. They do not like racism and that the police take people that work. They think that the police always take a long time to arrive when a Hispanic person calls, but not if the person speaks English. Other times do not even arrive. I
n order to be able to better coexist within American society they would like to be better accepted, and for people to know that: “We came to work and to contribute to the country. We want to be treated as a human beings” In order to integrate themselves to American society they know that they need to learn English. They also need to assimilate to the rules and regulations as well as to respect the country.
