    mexicans are the backbone of the restaurant industry in this country. they bring a very specific and honest sort of 'blue collar artistry' to food and kitchens. mexican food is the best, imo. its a shame that the border controversy has cast a negative light on all of this. the border needs to be controlled, but we also need to give respect and credit where it's due. both can happen at the same time. we are a better country because of mexican-americans.
