One of my colleagues said: "You make much more money here!"
And another said: "In Mexico, if I wanted to buy a pizza dinner for my whole family, that was a special treat. Here I can get us pizza anytime I want."
These sorts of statements were a constant. None of my colleagues ever said they wanted to go back to Mexico, nor did they say anything bad about America. They usually just talked about getting their papers and having citizenship.
