Apparently there is a large American community inside the city. Two of my nieces were born there and lived there long enough to learn to speak Spanish as well as English.<BR/><BR/>The other day I was speaking to a young woman who went to a medical clinic in Rio Bravo that is run by an American doctor. She went all the way from Indiana to Rio Bravo Mexico to have her tubal ligation reversed. She said there were several Aericans living there and it seemed that people went back and forth across the border as a matter of course.<BR/><BR/>Since the border has been open for all these years I doubt if there is any way to be sure how many Americans are down there.<BR/><BR/>And you are brave to deal with this issue on polipundit. Poli has lost all sense of perspective when it comes to immigration. I am not talking about a lack of willingness to compromise or debate, I mean just plain beyond discussion.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1146092330510477832006-04-26T16:58:00.000-06:002006-04-26T16:58:00.000-06:00It's my understanding that the largest English-spe...It's my understanding that the largest English-speaking population in the world is in China.

Alternatively, could it be the convoluted logic of someone with poor English who is saying that this is the largest American ex-pat communuity outside of the US, with the exception of the Spanish-speaking Mexican-American-Mexicans?truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.com
