Those wiley coyotes who drive Pintos
The coyote, in our society, pronounced (ki-yoh-tee),a small wolf native to western North America [syn: prairie wolf, brush wolf, Canis latrans]
South of the border, pronounced (coh-yoh-teh), someone who smuggles illegal immigrants into the United States (usually across the Mexican border).
What's my point? Check this out. In the news yesterday, there was a story about how the Mexican government has put out and distributed a kind of "Coyote Pamphlet". This brochure actually details how to cross the border safely as well as evade border patrols. It also gives tips on how to secure employment in the U.S., etc, etc, etc. Get the picture? Why? According to the federales, since they are doing it anyway, let's try to make it safer by telling them the "right" way to do it. I am going to try to get a copy of this brochure...I just gotta see it! At this time, I won't blather about the plight of these immigrants, the danger, the political ramifications, the "no one else will do the jobs they get" prattle. But, isn't this insane? Who knows? Having spent 15 years in restaurant management, I certainly heard my share of "coyote" stories first hand. I don't know the answers to this dilemma. just thought you might like to know.
