Anthony Bourdain Quote
It was once said that this is the land of the free. There is, I believe, a statue out there in the harbor, with something written on it about Give me your hungry...your oppressed...give me pretty much everybody-that's the way I remember it, anyway. The idea of America is a mutt-culture, isn't it? Who the hell America if not everybody else? We are-and be-a big, messy, anarchistic polyglot of dialects and accents and different skin tones.... We need Latinos to come here. And they should, whenever possible, impregnate our women.
