Olive Oil And And Menopause

Christmas immigrant

not dispute the Government's obligation to regulate immigration. A limit on foreign preserving peace. But there is protection against foreign ensuring peace, but to welcome and assimilate. Look at the history: who is Chilean mestizo, a mixture of native and immigrant over successive generations?

hand I have three cases promising. Among the buses de la Alameda saw a Peruvian street vendor with a hat that said "Chile." What the! But What? Was he trying to gain sympathy for their clients? Is it protected against possible attacks? May be another Chilean sincerely wanted more. Why not?

A better case is that of so many nannies who have left Peru to come to care for children in Chile. Several objections could be made to the moral quality of these jobs, but what matters here is the family life and often love between these children and their nannies. This really is an! Take care: to save their children from poverty, a woman leaves her homeland to an unknown party, sometimes hostile, to educate other people's children. Our eyes tell us that a superficial Peruvian and humble woman can not teach our children more than oddities. Our deep eye, however, that no one can see better educate these children and a nanny, because there are more important than learning of love and women and teach them to love with the purest example of his immense sacrifice.

For the third case I turn to fiction: how not to imagine that this Christmas a child is born the son of Peruvian and Chilean, or vice versa? No wonder that loneliness, harassment or true love bring to light this year new mestizos, like Jesus Galilean half and half Jewish. If this happens, there will be no better symbol of a hybrid nationality like ours that a child, a Chilean-Peruvian girl. Hopefully the union of the races express the love between races and love is the only force of cultural exchange between the two peoples. It would be preferable

this Christmas rather than be blown away by buying high-priced gifts, we could enjoy the gifts that are priceless. The child who visits us is not for sale: he gives us. Take it or Leave it. Note, though, that Jesus was born shortly after he and his parents were refugees in Egypt. Did you look José subcontracted work there in the restoration of a pyramid? Were you prepared Mary Jesus raising at times, used mainly to feed and change buses in Egypt? It is not required to be moved by the story of the son of a carpenter. But there is no reason to remember, relent, let alone to believe in him, if not to open our hearts to Christ these days come to meet us in a Korean, an Ecuadorian or a Peruvian.
