The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 46: , Mexican Gangs (Part 1)

   After a while, Bezos returned to his seat with two trays.

   "This is your two burgers and French fries. Alice, double thick beef patties and large portions of French fries, are you sure you can eat them?"

   Alice proved her appetite with practical actions. She held a three-inch thick hamburger in her hand. The mouth that looked extremely small a second before, instantly grew like a hippopotamus, and she swallowed a huge piece of it in one bite!

"Wow!"

   Cici had French fries in her mouth: "You can compare to my five bites!"

   "Woo~ I can eat very much~ Look at it, Cici, if you don’t hurry up and eat your portion, I might come to grab it~"

   also thanks to Alice's so talented, even her mouth was stuffed into a balloon, but her speech was not delayed at all.

   Bezos looked down at his share of burgers. After comparing it deliberately, he found that he didn't seem to have a mouth as big as Alice, but he was still an adult man...

   Accompanied by the black man singing solo in the restaurant, after a while chatting and eating, Alice said: "Jeff, since you are now majoring in computer science and are already sophomore, are you considering going to Silicon Valley in the future?"

Bezos ate the fries slowly: "If you can go to Silicon Valley, of course it would be great. After all, the density of computer companies there is too high. However, the housing prices there are not cheap. If possible, It seems better to find a home in New York."

   Bezos’s view is not unreasonable. For a young man like him born in New Mexico, compared to "just" in the booming Silicon Valley, the charm of the New York Big Apple naturally does not need to be said. After all, there is no Yahoo, Google, Facebook and other companies on the West Coast. As an Ivy League student, going to Manhattan to find a good job is indeed a normal choice for most people.

   "By the way, you said that your hometown is Albuquerque?"

   Alice recalled Bezos's previous joking self-introduction, her eyes lit up: "With Microsoft?"

   "Oh, yes, you also know this company."

Bezos is very happy that Alice can know such a top company in the industry: "I heard that Mr. Gates does not seem to be renting an apartment in the city, but is directly living in the company. Microsoft can have a hardworking company like him. Boss, I'm so lucky!"

   Alice's eyes blinked. Although she could also ask Gates to go to Los Angeles, she thought about it, it would be better to go to Albuquerque by herself next week. In the past few years, even if she traveled on vacation, she has only visited a few designated tourist attractions. In the continental United States, a region like New Mexico has never been in the future.

   Anyway, the chicken burrito from the past life is also very famous, isn't it?

   took a bite of the spicy chicken drumstick, Alice said vaguely: "What kind of city is Albuquerque?"

Where did Bezos know what Alice wanted to ask, shrugged and said, "What... a very nice city? Every year, starting from the first weekend in October, we will hold the International Hot Air Balloon Festival. At that time, hot air balloon enthusiasts from all over the world released huge hot air balloons of different shapes. At the same time, tourists also promoted the tourism industry here, and the price of hotel rooms also soared, so it also attracted many people to come in RVs. enjoy to the full."

"In addition, many Hollywood movies and TV series are also filmed here. After all, there is a zone with Mexican style and Gobi desert landscape at the same time. Except for ours, it is also Texas. Many early cowboy films are either Dirk. SARS, or New Mexico, these two continents account for more than 80% of all cowboy films."

   As soon as he mentioned his hometown, Bezos of course introduced it endlessly, and the two girls quietly enjoyed a free lunch in his long talk.

   But even so, Cici still didn't give Bezos any good looks. In her opinion, the McDonald's set meal for two is only ten dollars. It is so cheap that you can invite two young and beautiful girls to accompany you for lunch. This twenty-year-old man has a big advantage!

   So, while eating, Cici didn't forget to glance at Alice with her eyes.

   "Hmm...it doesn't seem to be too peaceful there, right?"

Alice deliberately ignored Sissi’s dissatisfied eyes, and said solemnly: “New Mexico is the southern border state of the United States, next to Mexico, and the border city of Epazol can be connected to Albuquerque by Highway 25. Hello, Jeff, is the smuggling situation in your place serious?"

Bezos pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay. The state police has always been very strong in combating smuggling, but if you say that there are many people of Mexican origin. We are here in Arizona and Texas. I often meet those people. Oh, yes, even in California, where many chefs, cleaners, cashiers, etc. are held by them."

After    finished, he blinked his eyes and said, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

   Alice slowed down the speed of chewing food, but did not answer anything.

  As a Chinese descent, Alice will of course pay special attention to other ethnic minorities.

   Speaking of ethnic minorities, Alice has been living in the United States for many years without Alice, and she has understood this situation even in her previous life. Although the entire United States has become a melting pot, specific to each race, their geographic distribution, residential area in the city, and even occupational division are relatively fixed. It can be said that although the United States promotes the concept of democracy and equality every day, it is often the most obvious in class.

   Not to mention the old-fashioned black and white problem, Mexicans are the most typical feature.

First of all, whether it is legal entry or illegal immigration, the three southern states of the United States are their most preferred regions. Just like North Korean refugees and South Korean businessmen often choose to live in Jilin Province, especially Yanbian City and North Korea. Living in the ethnic autonomous regions is the same.

  Secondly, considering the education level of most Mexicans and the rampant smuggling in the south, many people can only engage in certain occupations. Supermarket cashiers are already relatively high-end, especially for those who come smuggled in, basically they can only serve as helpers, waiters, etc. in various restaurants.

   Of course, this is pretty good overall. As far as the composition of Mexican Americans is concerned, illegal immigration still dominates after all. For them, it is like the old farmers in the mountainous areas of western China who rush into the eastern coastal cities to make a living, except that they can only work in industries such as fruit stalls and cleaners, and they often have to endure all kinds of additional troubles.

Alice has read relevant reports in the newspaper several times. The truth about smuggling is that a group of scalpers collects poor and destitute refugees on the streets of Mexico, sneaks them into the United States, and lives in poor security but cheap rent. In the area, dozens of people like pigs squeeze into a house, and they are charged hundreds of dollars a month for rent and utilities.

   They get up early every morning, eat a little simple rice and cook beans, and are thrown in every corner of the city to sell fresh fruit just picked from the farm. An average of standing there for more than ten hours a day, there is no food to eat, no water to drink, even can not go to the toilet, a large box of fruit sells for ten yuan, a hard day, can only earn 40 to 50 dollars a day, a week can be earned To 300 US dollars, but the monthly rent and water and electricity required by the scalpers are handed over several hundred yuan, and the remaining hundreds have to be repaid for the scalpers’ transit freight, which usually ranges from more than two thousand to three thousand US dollars per person.

When the debt is paid off, they have lived in the United States for about half a year. After that, they will usually send most of the hundreds of dollars of hard money they earn every month to their hometown in Mexico, where they have their wives, children and relatives. Waiting for the life-saving money here!

   Some residents in some small cities often feel that when these old people stand on the side of the road and obstruct traffic, they will naturally come to the police. As soon as the police arrived, they would confiscated the fruits of Lao Mo. Not only did Lao Mo have to pay for the cost of the scalper's fruit~www.readwn.com~ I had no income for a day, and because there was no car, he had to walk back to his residence with two feet The scalpers report.

   In fact, especially to Alice, American laws are often very strange. Although the judicial department has a detailed division of labor, it will only strictly abide by the laws and regulations of its own small territory!

Just like the police in a small town knowing that these are illegal immigrants, but they are not immigration officials, so it is not their duty to control illegal immigrants. They only take care of their business, so they only confiscated fruits and drive away Lao Mo station. On the side of the street, then just ignore it!

Being disapproved of the fruit and issued a fine, the Lao Mos felt sorry for the fresh and tender fruit being thrown into the trash can, and even felt sorry for the money they could not earn and the compensation they would pay. However, they would never go to court to debate or Try to reduce the fine.

  Because he is an unidentified illegal immigrant at the bottom, his shouts and defenses are even more stupid and will not be listened to by anyone!

   "So, since there are many Mexicans there..."

   Alice's eyes flickered, and she whispered: "Should there be many gangs, right? After all, Mexico can be said to be a world of gangs. Should these immigrants follow suit?"

   "Well, that's right, so if you want to go to Albuquerque, you must be careful not to go to the sites of those old inks."

   Bezos kept eating hamburgers, and he didn't think much about why Alice suddenly asked these questions.

"Oh, I see."

So he didn’t even notice that when Alice nodded slowly, her bright blue eyes were shining brightly, and there seemed to be semi-solidified high-energy fluid rippling in them~www.readwn.com~ Welcome friends to visit and read, the latest, The fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.readwn.com~ For mobile users, please go to read it.
