What i noticed most about "in an arizona town,mainstreet is a border crossing" was the amount of people that are on there way to the crossing. Its funny because so many people are coming here with hopes of living the so called american dream. They think america is like where they can better there economic standards but in reality,incase you havent been watching the news..we are going through an economic crisis of our own and it wont be so easy so i would think that there would be less immigrants on there way over here. You never know if you might leave your home to find conditions that are even more morbid then where you were situated. Its a big risk. Alot of people come here with no plans on hwere to live or anything or any money. They know what there goal is but once they are in.its like...look at this place and they are just lost until someone finds them. Its like nobody ever thinks about what really goes on here. The media just keeps jabbing the spoon filled with lies at the simpleminded and there brains just absorb it like a sponge. We have been consumed.

When the podcaster said "but my purpose to learn english is to testify who is god. I was thinking well thats typical. All these missionaries and converts come here to try and augment peoples beliefs about a certain religion. But if you think about it,they have been converted to. There is no supreme leader who started the whole conversion,these people act as if it is some dvine right that they do this,they dont know that nothing will happen to them if they dont. I mean i know so many people who live there life without following religion and they are doing just fine. Its almost silly now that these so called "witnesses" are going around forcing people to follow this stuff. Its just that there are other ways to live your life to the fullest.

Another part that I was avidly interested in was when the dude said that we has to work 14 to 16 hours a day. That goes back what i was saying in my first paragraph. People come here thinking its a free for all. Nothing is free in this country and if you want to get to a certain area or pedestal,you have to be willing to work. !4-16 hours a day is real harsh but you hear that from thousands of immigrants,even non immigrants work those kid of hours.We all have to work to make this country what it is and keep this country how it is. Without immigrants,america will turn to dust and be swept away. They are truely the spine of the united states. I beleive that the harder you work,the bigger the reward will be if you ever get one. Its just we live and die and it just has to keep on going. We cant stop now,we are machines.

I would like to hear more from this podcast solely because it reflects on the struggle of life, not just being in america or being an immigrant but the daily situations and circumstances in which we end up in. It gives us a sense of hope, that is why i would like to hear more of this kind of thing.
