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.

Opend 2003



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.
They would like to say to American society: “Please come by to enjoy our Mexican food. And not all the Mexicans are bad.”

Now they are more open to accept other cultures.” He also likes to talk to the people that come to his taqueria. “I like Columbus because is very relaxing to live here,” he says Alberto. Alberto is happy to have the mayor in Columbus because he thinks that the mayor cares for the Hispanic community and tries to help the community. He feels confident with the mayor.
In order to be able to coexist better within the American culture he thinks that the two cultures must be closer to each other and learn from each other to avoid any race divisions. He would like to integrate himself to the American community and legalize his status to be able to suggest and to participate in the society. Alberto wants the American society to know that they all (Hispanic people) are humans and have the same moral and spiritual necessities as any other human beings.
