El Paletero sells ice cream throughout the neighborhood, on the boulevard, in
the fiestas, at the flea market, on your street and in your front yard. He
walks many miles each day in the hot sun to ensure that you get refreshing
frozen Mexican Ice cream and popsicles that you demand. He came to America a
few years ago and is working to help pay to bring his grandkids over from
Mexico. His family were rancheros in Mexico, but years of drought destroyed
their livestock, and their livelihood. He had an option, watch his
family starve to death while living in extreme poverty, or sneak over to
America, work his ass off, send for his family, and build a new life over
here. What would you do Homie?
