Mexican immigrants lay down roots in South Philadelphia

[misschristine52]

The Mexican people are hard working, I am an Italian American my grandparents and my father was bilingual, but times change and it is a good thing, the Mexican people mind their own business, very family orientated and I welcome them to South Philly.

I noticed that, use to be Italian Market, now it looks like the Mexican Market, that's ok because the Mexican people are cool, they mind their own business and work very hard.

Es verdad que la comunidad Mexica esta cresiendo en Philadelphia, pero actualmente no hay un programa de integracion social para los migrantes, que viven en las sombras de los trabajos mas pesados de USA, no obstante la ley migratoria es mas flexible aqui en america del norte, que en el resto de Europa.

they're not going to settle because they're on the run from ins. politically incorrect but true. i live in this once clean, proud, fruitful neighborhood. why south philly, mr bloom? why not 7th st or grays ferry. or even north philly where there is a huge hispanic population??
