Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“It was the Mexicans who’d done this. Illegals. Goons with their hats turned backwards on their heads. Sneaking across the border, ruining the schools, gutting property values and freeloading on welfare, and if that wasn’t enough, now they were burning everybody else too. They were like the barbarians outside the gates of Rome, only they were already inside, polluting the creek, and crapping in the woods, threatening people and spraying graffiti all over everything, and where was it going to end? “

“The Tortilla Curtain”, T.C. Boyle, Penguin 1996
