...have made us a little stronger and a little bit quicker tonight, but there was no doubt that they were on their routine.” Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91 said. “In my estimation, it wasn’t the Xs and Os scenario after the first period, it was more of a willingness to compete—we lost battles on the puck, we lost races to the puck, and we didn’t look like we were ready to play nor ready to compete...
BEFORE THE U.S. BEGAN CRACKING DOWN on illegal immigration in the early 1990s, a push only accelerated by 9/11, many Tuxpeos flew back and forth easily on 10-year tourist visas. But as those visas expire, they're not being renewed under policies that seek to control more closely who gets into the U.S. The heightened border security has not, however, stopped undocumented Mexicans from getting in. The Pew Hispanic Center found that even though immigration is down since its peak in 2000, about 485,000 undocumented Mexicans were still crossing each year from 2000 to '04. In fact...
Rather than run the risk and expense of going home in the winter, many Tuxpeos, particularly the families, simply choose to stay year round, putting even more pressure on the educational, health and social-service agencies in the Hamptons.

Fernando invited two friends, who started bringing their relatives. A handful became dozens. Dozens become hundreds. There are no reliable estimates, but workers in the Hamptons say there are as many as 500 Tuxpeos living full-time in the area, and scores more show...
...fund programs for improving life in Mexico. But Tuxpan's Mayor Gilberto Coria Gudio (no relation to Mario) says he doesn't know of any 3x1 projects in the region. When asked if he has a plan for ensuring that the next generation of Tuxpeos won't be lost to the U.S., he says his administration has paid $20,000 for a gigantic Mexican flag to be placed on the highest peak above Tuxpan. "This will send a message to all those who are working up north that they should be proud to be Mexican, not ashamed...
