Voices of the Street

Rosa Elena Espinosa Mendoza has finished another book and it will be available on Amazon soon. Soy inmigrante con diferentes facetas vividas en la trayectoria de mi destino e incertidumbre. Estados Unidos es mi nuevo país que adopté en mi corazón pero tiene un idioma y estilo de vida rutinario diferente. De los hermosos campos de California aprendí a labrar la tierra. He soportado, presenciado y sufrido mucha dis-criminación contra los inmigrantes que cruzan para este... país. Nos deportan y a los niños los separan cruelmente de sus familias. la vieja historia se repite una y otra vez. Los primeros extranjeros emigraron a vivir en exclavitud laboral, sexual, jornaleros con salarios mínimos. Además, el Viejo rostro de Estados Unidos tenía invasores, oprimidores únicamente con la ideología de los valores económicos. En consecuencia, los inmigrantes viven en la pobreza, las drogas, la prostitución, el cártel de tráfico de personas, el cártel de la droga, pandillas y las diversida des delictivas y terroristas. Entones el campo del arte es indispensable para las futuras generaciones. Nunca es demasiado tarde reconstruir a Estados Unidos en unidad racial. I am an immigrant with different facets and lives in the trajectory of my destiny and uncertainty. My new country that I adopted in my heart has a different language and routine lifestyle. From the beautiful fields of the United States I learned to till the land. I have endured, witnessed, and suffered a lot of discrimination against immigrants who cross into this country. They deport us and children are cruelly separated from their families. The old story repeats itself over and over again. The first foreigners emigrated to live in labor and sexual slavery, laborers with minimum wages. In addition, the old face of the United States had invaders, oppressors only with the ideology of economic values. Consequently, immigrants live in poverty, drugs, prostitution, the human trafficking cartel, the drug cartel, the gang cartel, and criminal and terrorist diversities. So the field of art is indispensable for future generations. It is never too late to rebuild America in racial unity.

A hard year needed some good music to finish off.
