Its a completely different story once the sun sets. Then its dangerous to open the front door!
Getting back to the subject, hows the smog test going?

Before you go, learn Spanish.
I understand all the road signs are being replaced with ones imported from Mexico.
Yes indeed, welcome to Mexifornia.

And to be honest, I know enough Spanish, and they know enough English, we can get what needs to be done, done.
For the most part, the language problem is just that with the lowest of the manual labourers. Cleaning folks, lawn care... but once they get skilled jobs, it's because they can speak enough English to get the job done.
The other thing I have noticed, these folks work their asses off. They are always willing to work, and work hard.
I have seen more Americans with this attitude of entitlement, that they have forgotten what it is like to actually work. We get lazy and complacent... it's an endemic problem... and much bigger than the space allowed here.
