What is wrong with Mexicans fixing Mexico?
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 | Immigration | No Comments
What is wrong with fixing Mexico. They have oil, tourism, fertile land. Why are they coming here ILLEGALLY? I am so sick of them forcing me to speak their language. I love th Spanish/Spain language but these people come here and force their culture on us and make us pay for their children to be taught by a bilingual teacher or aide. In texas here, some American aides cannot get a job in the school because they do not speak spanish. What is wrong with this picture? Our church is now 99% spanish and they are putting their flag on the altar at Our Lady of Quadalupe Day. This is disrespect for us Americans. By the way, I am a LEGAL immigrant who went through the process from N. Ireland.
By the way. I was in Sante Fe New Mexico last week and at the Burger King the woman working there serving could not speak English and my daughter went to Subway and could not make the woman there understand her order and she had to leave without her sandwich. Something is really wrong here.
To answer “Shorty1″ - No it is not everywhere but here in Texas I see more Spanish than I do anglos. We are overcrowded here with them. It is not that I don’t like them, I have an adopted child who is part S. American, but they are moving in and taking over. In Farmers Branch Texas they have made ordinances, no more signs in Spanish.
Where in Puerto Vallarta can I find design/tourism work?
Saturday, April 26th, 2008 | Puerto Vallarta | No Comments
I am going to be living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for two months in Dec/Jan of next year and am looking for work. I am a Canadian university student taking a year away from school to do volunteer work and to make some money in order to afford returning to school. I have extensive graphic and web design experience, and that would be my preferred job. I would also love to work in tourism, and Dec and Jan are big tourism months in PV. I speak some Spanish, but will be taking a course before I move to Mexico. I would really appreciate any information on design/tourism jobs in Puerto Vallarta. Thanks!
It’s not so much that I’m concerned about finding a job - I have a few potential employers lined up - it’s that I would prefer to work in either graphic/web design or tourism. I have searched job posting websites, and there have been short-term (1-2 month) design jobs in Puerto Vallarta, I just haven’t been able to find any current such jobs.
I was planning on taking vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico in the first week of September?

but with Hurricane Dean hitting it a few weeks ago, is it still worth going or should I change my plans? I had the trip planned out and exactly what I wanted to do. I heard it didn’t get hit that hard, but any idea about the tourism?
