"Mexicans have come from states located on the Mexican plateau to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, for more than thirty-five years. Some informants’ accounts date the first immigrant to the area by the mid-seventies, “I know a former worker from this same company who currently lives in his hometown, la Ordeña.

"Younger than most of the men he led, he was none the less admired and obeyed by all.

Lieutenant Ibrahaim was a Marine’s type of leader."

In the positive sense, freedom refers to a capacity to do something, such as the freedom to assemble peaceably. This distinction brings to the fore a critical issue surrounding the nature of freedom."
