how mexican can you be or should you be if you grew up in california with a mexican name and of mexicanan. gustavo arellano is the editor of the "oc weekly." we discuss such weighted matters over taquitos at cielito lindo on olvera street, which has been serving the kind of stuff that made americans fall in love with mexican food since the 1930s. beans with machaca, spicy shredded beef sauce and cheese. i believe they call these things a burrito. but what they're known for here is their taquitos. rolled up, fried, smothered in avocado sauce, jacked with chile guero, garlic, tomatillo and cilantro. >> anthony: oh yeah. oh, man, i'm loving this sauce already. >> gustavo: this is a legendary sauce going back to 1934. guacamole, you don't think it's going to work, but it absolutely does. >> al madrigal: wow. >> gustavo: there's a little spice at the end. i love it. >> anthony: you're, by your own admission, you're a sorry excuse for a mexican. how's your spanish? not so good? >> al madrigal: my spanish is horrible. i've always been given a hard time about my spanish. >> gustavo: and that's

take off your shirt the mexican mafia carries a side from their name, mexican mafia tattooed on their body, common tattoos are aztec symbols, you'll see the pyramids and the sun god looking up numbers correlate to letters of the alphabet. we'll see numbers like the number 13, and m is the 13th letter of the alphabet. take off your shirt. >> all right. >> the orejones are less complex. >> that way. for them, san antonio is their city. so anything san antonio-related will be on their body. other common things are area code. 210. >> 210, what's up? >> spur symbols are common and the city skyline identifiable. known as orejones which means big areas, so we'll see tattoos of an actual ear somewhere on their body, or a playboy bunny, if you know how to read the tattoos you find out this guy's a member. >> gang inspectors like officers rodriguez and rocha identified thousands of gang members, no system is perfect. neither is shooting lockup "extended stay". >> when shooting "extended stay", you will shoot for several weeks, and you'll be down a week or so and then come back. we shot our firs

which once again hit back the mexican bissell and. they had already done the investment and they were expecting the people to come out there so there was this dispute of ford was going to come back of it when those going to come back and then the mexican press when actually also when the big going in made a movement a ludd and a little bit of the lead but right now the because of the waters are more calm the though the best of us has started going back and now we seeing it at levels that we haven't seen like for example about a year ago i now force that effects on a huge market there remittance market ok this is money that is actually mostly being sent from the u.s. back to mexico an exchange rates matter he usually in this case and this is of course a market that's being challenged by crypto can you talk about. this aspect yes actually many people say was one of the proposals that he had was taxing remittances. the newly elected president from an attacker meant he wanted to tax remittances in order to this incentive aid money to go o

civilian on mexican soil. the petitioner's claim for fourth amendment protection was answered in verdugo. this court doesn't get -- >> u.s. officers were acting in collaboration with the approval and cooperation of mexican officers. that's a different case, isn't it? >> it is, however in verdugo, the person claiming protection was in the united states. the acts occurred in mexico. here we have mr. hernandez, who was seized in mexico. he was never in the united states. the border is very real and not elastic. >> in that case was a search that occurred inside mexico with the cooperation of the mexican authorities. >> and this court denied to extend that protection. i believe those facts provide or provided even a greater rationale for this court to extend those protections given the fact that the united states planned the act in the united states with mr. verdugo in the united states and the search occurring in mexico. mr. hernandez is in mexico and outside the sovereign territory of the united states. there is

m stands for mexican mafia. it just shows their loyalty. that's who they're loyal to. at the drop of a dime, any time a certain request is done, they go ahead and handle what they're asked to do or what they're told to do. >> something like this is going to help us validate those inmates we take them off the active gp facilities, put them over in the shu where there's a more controlled setting for them. which protects staff and inmates. >> these are the heavy duty inmates that we want to get off the yard, because they're heavily involved in that criminal activity. >> in addition to the prison gangs, the officers in corcoran also have street gangs to deal with, the most violent and unpredictable of all, the bulldogs. >> the bulldog street gang originated in fresno, that group of hispanic population not being from southern california, not being from northern california, they affiliated or they joined together with the intent of not being governed by any other prison gang. >> bulldogs they're not as organized as your other gangs. they don't have the leadership in their or

one of the new mexicans i met there was annamarie, a las cruces native who worked for the las cruces public cruz surface for 22 years. her husband passed away in 2008 and when she found herself unable to keep working following a minor stroke, she could not afford health coverage on her hr own. when she reached out to my office last year, she had bronchitis and walking enrol pneumonia.e t my staff helped her enroll in medicaid and now she's able to get access to the care that she needs. want to take a moment to explaii why the medicaid program is so critical in my home state of new mexico. as a medicaid expansion state, new mexico has seen dramatic gains over the last five years in coverage for the folks that need it the most. stories like annamarie's illustrate just how important medicaid can be for hard-working new mexicans. medicaid currently provides affordable health coverage to over 900,000 new mexicans, including many schoolchildren,ci seniors in nursing homes and long-term care facilities, people with disabilities, and people who need treatment for mental health and addiction.

again, they're in collaboration now with the mexican consulate in san jose. there is their web address for more information and also a phone number. any final thoughts before we let you go? mohan: just wanna encourage folks to check out our financial emergency action plan for immigrants. it's available for free to download. you can take a look. it's available in both spanish and english. and again, we look forward to seeing you at the mexican consulate of san jose and san francisco. damian: good work. all right, thanks for your help. mohan: thank you. damian: all right, thank you very much. and up next here on "comunidad del valle," a summer cultural camp program, stay with us. for your families. lilia aguero is with the school of arts and culture at the mexican heritage plaza in san jose, and jose chuy hernandez is a mariachi instructor at some of these summer camps. welcome to the show. lilia aguero: thank you. damian: and now, my kids have been through the camps and they love it, they adore it; fill us in. tell us about the enrichment that you're providing

mexican hot chocolate or mango. ray: mango, mango.n: and ray, you've kind of also, at the same time, you've created a network. because i mean, the latino vintners, they're well-organized and they're cohesive, but by bringing 'em together in something like this, now you're talking about them mingling napa county, sonoma, south bay. ray: yes, and that's how i always believed it should be, you know? last year, i remember pedro ceja and ramon rios from tracy. pedro is from napa. he has his own beer now, besides the wines. they were up until 5 o'clock in the morning. they're both from michoacán, i believe. but anyhow, it's just unity and working together, and just like our event, i really believe that, from day one, it's in diversity, and that's why we have a vietnamese restaurant here. i think we're gonna have a vietnamese bakery here too, mint and basil. and her food, cindy ho is the owner, and she has four--three locations, opening up another in saratoga. her food is unbelievable. damian: i bet. i'll let you open up your-- nancy: you wa

this hits them hardest. >> for mexicans this means higher prices. >> something nice in the culturur.speaking foreign language] >> hunter isis n not the real problem here. it has massive impact. we've found that where food prices have risen, families have less frfruit and berry and have far less healthy die.. taking out loans just to be able to afford food, cutting back on expenditures like health care and education, all of which has a much longer-term impact. >> the impact of higher prices is felt throughout the expenditures of mexico and in terms of lower demand for other things. the mexican economy is the real concern because we do not see demand growing fast enough and we c could be e next. >> food speculationon is rampant because ofof deregulation o of e markets. it was seen as big investments, banks moving into commodity markets, w with $100 billion pouring into these markets. markets were overwhelmed, that is why it has become such a problem. >> the mexican government itself has begun to speculate on the market in an effort to counter the volatility. but many believe the only a

i do believe that in the minds of many mexicans, all the mexicans that are living here, they have bothries inside them. >> one of the things that you've heard, and i've heard too, is people are just so angry. it doesn't matter which side you're on. they're just angry, and they can't get past that. so how do we help people calm down? >> yeah, i will say that we have to look forward. i will say that we have to understand, be very measured, be very mature, and understand that these issues have nothing to do with the american people. these issues have nothing to do with the american goods. these issues have nothing to do with the american companies. quite the opposite. this is a moment where we have to be closer. this is a moment, an opportunity to show that together, we are better, that together we are more competitive, that together we have better creativity. so let's not be angry. let's be measured, let's be mature, and let's look at the positive side of all this. our thanks to all of our international friends, the consuls general of mexico, israel, and russia for taking their time to s

dodson: part of my mission with the atf in phoenix was to combat a illegal firearms trafficking to the mexican drug cartels. sharyl: special agent john dodson had objected internally to the dangerous practice of "gunwalking" secretly allowed by the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. ears. when you stepped forward, what did you think and hope would happen? john dodson: i thought it would all come to a screeching halt, i was very surprised to learn otherwise. sharyl: dodson testified at the hearing looking back at his decision to blow the whistle. john dodson: that decision -- the single act of standing up and saying, "what we are doing is wrong" -- instantly took my standing from being that of an agent of the government to an enemy of the state. joce: it was the bomb that helped end world war ii, the second, and last, nuclear device to be used in war. 72 years later, hanford is still dealing with its nuclear legacy. tom carpenter: for every tiny little speck of plutonium that they made at hanford, there was a ton, literally, of very hot chemical waste left over. joce: that leftover amoun

mexicans being more open to that. if you look at some of the sales , for example, in the gulf of mexico and mexico side, you see very significant investments in from -- coming in from u.s. companies. foreign investment, for in job creation. it benefits us up and down the value chain. the mexico energy approach today is very different than it was a few short years ago. nafta brings us some of the certainty you need and the confidence you can have bringing judicial systems and others that gives certainty to those investment dollars to find a friendly place to land. mr. grumet: chip, if the environment became less favorable to u.s. companies, what do you imagine happens with those mexican resources? mr. gerard: one of the problems , in terms of uncertainty it creates, is capital will go where it is most wanted. when you look at our business, we are a global industry. we're trying to find places where we had the greatest opportunity but also where we are welcome. the situation in mexico in particular, has been in canada f

the mexican officials we've talked to, we had a reverse trade mission just last week where we had mexican grain buyers and feed manufacturers here in d.c. and they've already said they've started negotiating with brazil and argentina if we falter on corn, the u.s. corn going into mexico. they have willing sellers that come from that country. if there's a 37% tariff put on, it doesn't make us the cheaper supplier anymore. >> ladies and gentlemen, you couldn't get a better warm up than these two. i'm pleased to share with you the secretary is in the building. if you'd join me in thanking our two panelists. [ applause ] >> they promise they'll work out the ethanol thing as they head out. it's a twofer. mr. secretary, we got you a fresh glass of water. you'll appreciate that very much. welcome to the bipartisan politics, sir [ applause ] so everyone says that our guest needs no introduction and then goes ahead and introduces him. i think you all know secretary wilbur ross is the 39th secretary of the department of commerce. he was recently and for quite a few years the chairman and chief stra

i do believe that in the minds of many mexicans, all the mexicans that are living here, they have bothnside them. >> one of the things that you've heard, and i've heard too, is people are just so angry. it doesn't matter which side you're on. they're just angry, and they can't get past that. so how do we help people calm down? >> yeah, i will say that we have to look forward. i will say that we have to understand, be very measured, be very mature, and understand that these issues have nothing to do with the american people. these issues have nothing to do with the american goods. these issues have nothing to do with the american companies. quite the opposite. this is a moment where we have to be closer. this is a moment, an opportunity to show that together, we are better, that together we are more competitive, that together we have better creativity. so let's not be angry.

we could do mexican cheese. we could do mexican sodas. we could do cheese ceviche. no one's -- lemonis: maybe you start with tortillas. adelo: of course, of course. [ laughs ] lemonis: i like the fact that he has a lot of enthusiasm. but i'm not really sure if i would lead my product offering with raw fish. that's just me. here's what i'd like to do. i don't know if there's any partnership opportunity. but i want to head over to the factory. adelo: okay. man: [ shouts in spanish ] lemonis: how are you? adelo: all right. lemonis: why don't we take a tour? adelo: so this it. lemonis: how big is the factory? adelo: 2,200 square feet. lemonis: so show me the process. adelo: all right. lemonis: how do you mix this? here? how do you know how long to mix it? adelo: just by guessing. lemonis: guessing like, "uh, it feels like 5 minutes?" adelo: yeah. lemonis: flour and water. and so what makes this so different? adelo: right there. this is our secret. lemonis: so why is this the secret? we can't buy this machine? adelo: mexico. lemonis: only in mexico? adelo: yeah, here, th

stories like this illustrate just how important medicaid can be for hard-working new mexicans. currently it provides affordable health coverage to over 900,000 new mexicans including many schoolchildren, seniors and nursing homes and long-term carh facilities. people with disabilities and people who need treatment for. mental health and addiction. just one example of the wide-ranging consequences of thh republican health plan drastic cuts to the medicaid program would be the end to any possible progress that we have made so far fighting the opioid and heroin epidemic.on the opioid action epidemic has been deeply felt in communities across the state of new mexico., for years without adequate treatment resources our state has suffered through some of the highest rates of opioids and heroin addiction in the nation. and i would note today a story came out about how we hospitalized long-term-care, 1.3 million americans last year because of this epidemic. however, when provided an opportunity to receivehabilitati comprehensive treatment, people who suffered through the trials can and

will always buy shitty mexican food., why? >> cosme: my brother come up with the idea to open a mexican restaurant, and i told my brother come on, i've never cooked mexican food like for a restaurant. so i started cooking for six months at home every single day trying to do different things and finally we opened a mexican restaurant. >> anthony: and then you got a michelin star? >> cosme: yeah, for three years in a row. >> anthony: nice. >> anthony: both are fantastic, but tonight we're eating korean. gamjatang, pork neck bone soup with rice cakes, pork belly, kimchi, and spicy radish, and kimchi and oysters. >> joshua: so this dish right here the gamjatang was the dish that i'd buy three years ago. it literally transplanted me back to korea. >> anthony: yeah, but how old were you when you left? >> joshua: i came to america at six. >> anthony: were you raised observant jew? >> joshua: orthodox. >> anthony: you were raised orthodox. you still with the program? >> joshua: no, not at all. i'm eating pork right now. >> antho

matt: 2016 was the worst year of the 20th century for a mexican investor.ere in equity, debt, or the peso. this year, the peso is the best performing currency among 26 emerging markets. and there is an even better indication of the worst may be over, which is that the implied volatility of the peso has collapsed. ast can only be interpreted an indication of growing confidence in mexico. there are some underlying mexico is poised to do well. one of them is the economy , thef is growing faster gdp, the gross domestic product is growing faster than pretty much everyone else in the hemisphere. the second reason is that the companies in mexico, from an earnings perspective are showing much more encouraging results. so, there's the fundamentals, which was impressive, but some of what went on with the peso, with hans and equities had nothing to do with fundamentals. it had to do with an imaginary world in which everything the president said came true quickly. well, it's connecting what he said to the fundamentals. this nafta agreement, he said we are going to rip

medicaid expansion has met that -- has meant that for over 265,000 new mexicans. they have health care coverage that they didn't have before. pretty remarkable thing. in six short years in new mexico, after the passage of the affordable care act, you had people who didn't have any health care, and now 265,000 have medicaid coverage. and they're in this, could be in a situation just like elana. many of these are hard-working families living in rural new mexico, native american families living in new mexico. the senate republican bill, like the house republican bill, will end medicaid expansion in new mexico for people like ealn -- elana. mr. president, this bill cuts medicaid overall more deeply than the house version. when president trump said that this -- the house version was a mean bill, this is a meaner bill. they are not necessary. these cuts are meaner and they are not necessary to repeal the affordable care act. they will hurt millions of americans. they are also devastating to our state economies. new mexico can't afford to pick up the tab for those cuts s

the report released by ai say 12 former mexican govern -- notes that at least 12 former mexican governors are accused of corruption, money laundering or narcotics trafficking and an astounding seven of ten crimes in mexico are not even reported. if the people do not trust their institutions from the local police to the neighborhoods and elected officials, the mexican government will struggle tol win this fight which is one of the reasons why i continue to work to ensure that we keep foreign assistance strong. these funds are not just going to the world's poor and they're going to the programs that work with other countries to bolster law enforcement and the rule of law and the stability of democrat see. these funds have a direct impact on the security and they're essential this year. so what are some of the solutions and i hope we'll get into them some today. the first is to continue the funding of development aid and security programs integral it encountering transnational criminal organizations in the western hemisphere. in venezuela, the trevistas are the root problem. i are in additio

the largest legal immigration problems are not -- we have been losing mexicans and gaining mexicans for years now. these are the largest problem related to illegal immigration. and expect that. campaign promise. >> there might be method to the madness. against having anything to do with this, to benefit from savings. >> really? checking this to pay for it. they don't want to be told what to do by donald trump. >> i think donald trump will change his mind in six months and say the mexicans are going to build is a mall. a better chance of happening than this. neil: what do you say? >> a lot of solar farms under president obama are horrendous. billions of dollars can generate electricity, too early for this sort of thing. look at this. in california, billions of taxpayer dollars, it is a bomb. americans who want to see this done, there are ways. neil: what do you think -- in the center of this. you don't -- you have your doubts. >> getting no cooperation from mexico. neil: signaling one way or the other down the road they will pay for it. >> you know what it is? it is a great concept. what

i do believe that in the minds of many mexicans, all the mexicans that are living here, they have bothries inside them. >> one of the things that you've heard, and i've heard too, is people are just so angry. it doesn't matter which side you're on. they're just angry, and they can't get past that. so how do we help people calm down? >> yeah, i will say that we have to look forward. i will say that we have to understand, be very measured, be very mature, and understand that these issues have nothing to do with the american people. these issues have nothing to do with the american goods. these issues have nothing to do with the american companies. quite the opposite. this is a moment where we have to be closer. this is a moment, an opportunity to show that together, we are better, that together we are more competitive, that together we have better creativity. so let's not be angry. let's be measured, let's be mature, and let's look at the positive side of all this. our thanks to all of our international friends, the consuls general of mexico, israel, and russia for taking their time to s

reform so where in mexico city so we're going to talk about mexico we're going to talk about the mexican economy moving countered many people here we've had a public events meet ups we've met hundreds of people and we're going to talk about mexico we get a regarding the russia gate stuff i have had at least a dozen people here in mexico ask me what is going on with america they seem crazy they sound like chavez because i guess if you go chavez had a lot quite a lot of conspiracy theories and i thought it sounded like that but in terms of the economy here everybody looks happy out behind us of course but some of the headlines would suggest that it's not so good for some people what we've encountered of course in mexico city is you know a lot of it seems like prosperous and booming compared to even two and a half years ago when we're here but mexico's economy reels from a blast from the past green gold that's a new name mexicans have given to. staple foods and most important agricultural exports like real gold the price of green gold is soaring having more than doubled in the last year alo

compared to 47,000 mexicans on that. and that's probably the stats are not correct or accurate because i think you only looked at plane and boat and didn't look at land crossings, also. and i think the visa stay should be one. the other thing, finally, number five, why i don't support the wall is natural barriers. i think president trump on april acknowledged that there are natural barriers to the border. if i can show you -- i support a wall. this is the most beautiful wall. lucille. is this big bend. have you seen the big bend? those are walls. if you want to see walls, those are walls we have and i don't think you can put a wall on top of this cliffs that we have, number one. i think you would agree with me. second thing is, if you go down to the lower part of the river, the rio grande, a natural barrier, doesn't go straight. as you moe, it snakes up and down. and this is my district down there and the u.s. side i believe is in the top part. look at the river the way it snakes. so either you follow. i have taken a sma

they felt that the mexicans couldn't pull off a massacre on u.s. territory. that had to be coordinated by germans. the germans were already advising poncho villa, which we all know they weren't. if you think about how that propaganda played into the story that the intelligence services are pitching that nobody believed. it was kind of a collision of multiple elements where, at some point, they presented the zimmerman telegram and the intelligence services are all going, see? we told you. and it wasn't that way. it just ended up being that way. i think you make some great points. i knew i would enjoy that. monique? monique: thank you so much. i am in fact replacing dr. john morrow, who was supposed to be on this panel. john morrow is a great historian. he was the dean of the department of history at the university of georgia in athens and happens to be a very good friend of mine. he was stuck until midnight at the airport in atlanta and didn't have the patience. he went back home. this morning the flights were canceled. so i was just asked on the spot more or

are right for a story out they need a good performance in this tournament to be able to make the mexican public as if they've got a chance of qualifying a top tier to they consider themselves top tier they shouldn't even when i was talked to but like england i haven't been competitive world level for a long long time that's the reality so perhaps the expectation doesn't match the reality of like some context during that new zealand game and when it was struggling a serial out was trending and not just shows i mean that the the public in the media are just waiting for an opportunity to have a lot of american broadcasters as friends of broadcast in the united states as well and they were given massive thought on twitter and social media when mexico went down against new zealand because they're the two big rivals in the central and lots of american region so the united states want to qualify they want to come here next year for the free for world cup and they'll be quite happy to see mexico struggle more i think then from everything we've said we could easily see both teams going for this b

the mexican law this is a shocking way to lose our teams one long point to stewards and he grew up in front of his one hundred first appearance of the russian national team was in no man's land but the hosts arrived affect the tournament perhaps not because they're still going to say the very best like about sanchez cristiano ronaldo but disappointing for russia ok sky out mexico go through though they were fancied too and of course when the group the big favorites you can champions portugal is have a look at their couple of the goals from not matching with who else but christiane around the who opened the scoring on thirty three minutes bread and butter for a stronger face quality a penalty and look at a confident smashes it home then came five minutes later thirty eighth minute to a big summer signing for manchester city but not a silver sliding in for the kind of money effect you want to see of it bravery in the box two more goals as well like the fact that new zealand were here playing top quality competition vention just outclassed me and i'm sure russia the news elizabeth thinki

summer bro hot side in the top down sun i managed to speak to some of the visitors some of those mexican fountains and most of us were thinking of coming and having a lot of cold people and really has been the opposite like very friendly very like in mexico very open and very willing to help so we have a very very exciting to have these. amazing culture from the russians nowadays well we have some things that are very similar in terms of the culture and all those are very russian of course but we're enjoying very much good use of the weather changes every thirty minutes but aside from that everything is good thought it or yeah it's better it's more water we thought it was going to be like more soviet style but it's very moscow's very modern here is like if you like one of the provinces it's also nice aha yeah i. i. you know you'll. go even lower lows. now such of course we've been enjoying it here and away absolutely. when to guy. here we are very formal a wall that we have to look around the truck we were very very excited me illinois . so this is it the sochi all to join this is where

some say we are safer with mexicans. figures do not lie but liars can figure.dy calling from morgan hill, california, on the line for democrats. caller: i wanted to talk briefly. i come from santa clara county in california. a diverse area. there is a danger that we need to be more open-minded to others in our country. there is a lot that goes on in terms of people who are just not aware. we are getting our information for different things -- from different things and we talk about the media. we can come up with as much personal stories but we do not hold on to the belief that, in america, we have to find a way to support each other. whether you are latino, white, asian, many things we have a common good and people are sticking to their sides of the political spectrum. without data as far as the trump policy, i think that most people are good people. we all want to do the best for our families. we can either have two mentalities, work together for peace or try to get the best outcome for our group, whatever you identify with. host: a facebook post from bill kin

is kaiser of course after the great moments away look at the thousands of americans turning up at mexican cities as so-called dental refugees these days why . are. you. to. figure. box cars are of this is the kaiser report in mexico city of heroes place here but of course the next kaiser we're still in mexico city we're here for the next week and a half so you'll see several more episodes here you'll see that evolution of our journey through mexico city where trying to keep it all together we're ordering all are you know a ski thing i. don't is or would something like that we had some pretty crazy food here walkable with the press office for example so i haven't had before now i'm addicted to just start my day without it also that escalates i think that's what the and where only a little obvious joke at the mall there's also like to spread it all over and just look buy stuff claim there's nothing called whoever it is or whatever it's like heuvel mixed with whatever i call the whole way over you know when we're here in mexico they're very welcoming to americans we're very welcomed wherever

fact stand out a lot of hope up the start of each half as the game went on the composure of the mexicans really started to show russia just a little bit on. out of their depth when it came to holding the ball up and trying to get it up front but maybe that's something to learn for that the really big tournament in twelve months time at the world cup but a lot of excitement here before the game as well a lot of some bro hot side in the top down sun i managed to speak to some of the visitors some of those mexican fountains and here's what they told me. most of us were thinking of coming and having a lot of old people in really has been the opposite like a very friendly very like in mexico very open and very willing to help so we have a very very exciting to have these. amazing culture from the russians nowadays well we have some things that are very similar in terms of the culture and all those are very russian of course we're enjoying very much good use of the weather changes every thirty minutes but aside from that everything is good thought it or yeah it's better it's warm water we thou
