Summary
Nearing the end of the book up to about the 210's nd 220 , the book is discussing drug dealing. As it is known now and still was throughout the early times, many dominicans are involved in this type of action. It is not only dominicans in the dominican republic but those who migrate to New York , Boston, and other places in theU.S . The book discussed drug dealing in New York which is the same now or even worse. Before as the book explained it was simple but now it is getting a little bigger since now dominicans getdeported back. Many dominicans that take part in this action in the Dominican Republic do it because there are no other jobs available. There arent many jobs available as money is needed so many dominicans are faced with no choice in what to do. The bookalso talked about how many dominicans do go to New York as the place to head to when leaving the country wheater it is illegal or legal. In the United States it is discussed how domincans when being enterd i nthe U.S are nto involved or heard by others because of the factthat they came "straight of the boat". They try to get involved but it is not easy when you are also trying to learn English and learn at the same time. Although in New York dominicans are more involved politicaly since there is supposrt from their own kind.

Quotation
"Dominicans have sent their young men north for a long time.The merengue star Juan Luis Guerra sings, in his hit "Visa para su Sueno"..(Wucker 203)

Reaction
Dominicans all have a dream to be able to come to the united states and build a new begining. The Dominican Republic is filled with people doing nothing since there are barely any jobs. The poverty they are going through is serious that it leads to violence. When I went over the summer to D.R , I seen people begging for food . This was so sad and breaks my heart because most people want to just have a better life. The merengue described in the quote is saying "let me go to te U.S , a better life over there is my dream so I need my visa". Its just sad how all these people who want to do the right thing in having a better life , can't obtain that oppourtunity.
