His family came from those brought to the US to build the rail. They were deported to Mexico. His family was not among those deported. It s also the best Chinese food on either side if the border. The family has a restaurant in the Colonia Obrera, iirc.

We used to share stories of immigration and adaptation to a new country. My dad came from Poland after WW II, so we did share in the immigrant experience.

One year I made some Eastern European food, he had the family deliver Chinese food, and of course tacos...the best Christmas dinner ever.
