Immigration Reform - Timely and Controversial

The recent brouhaha over immigration reform brings to light a key question that simply hasn’t been covered by any of the major network or cable news outlets. Frankly it’s hard for me to believe that Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Geraldo Riverra have turned a deaf ear to this poignant issue: “Where do Mexicans eat and why do we need to know?”

Believe me, I realize this is a sensitive and tough issue but In the true spirit of a Yankee who has returned to Texas, I sought and found the answer: TAQUERIAS! (double click on a photo to enlarge it)

Actually, I am not sure what the word means. (I’ll find that out soon) but one thing is for sure, these eating establishments sprinkled all over Houston are colorful and overall a wonderful dining experience. The Taqueria pictured here is actually open 24 hours a day. (I can only imagine what it’s like at 3AM when the bars close).

I’m not going attempt to provide a restaurant review but one thing is for sure, a Taqueria of some sort is now on the itinerary for all visiting friends.

So, I’ve discovered Taquerias here in Houston. Believe me, now that the word is out, it will not be long before the conservative pundits make the case for taqueria reform. After all, I think I heard the following on Fox: “some people are saying that spicy, colorful and value priced meals encourage gang warfare and increased illegal immigration, all components that are tearing the fabric of American society.” To this I say, “Bill why don’t’ you go to counter and ask for some more chips, and while you’re up there, bring Geraldo some more salsa………
