While on my drive home the other day in the city of L.A., I noticed a billboard for a Spanish T.V. news program. The billboard included the typed written words, "Los Angeles, Ca". A red slash was drawn over the "Ca" and replaced by a cursive "Mexico", making the billboard read "Los Angeles, Mexico".
Now this was not grafitti. This was what the billboard was actually designed to say. Well today I noticed that the "Los Angeles, Ca / Mexico" had been blacked out and replaced by the time that the news program aired. I guess someone complained and the station figured it had gone just a little too far. Still, I figure this isn't a good indicator of growing loyalty to the U.S. among California's Spanish-speaking immigrants.
Of course, if Los Angeles actually did become part of Mexico, that station would have a
real problem. All their viewers would be emigrating to the U.S.
