There are now 18,000 African migrants in Lampedusa as an additional 20 boats arrived overnight. The island has a population of 6,000 Italians and the situation is only getting worse by the day. Who is behind these boat landings?

Ha! Haven't heard anyone use that in a while.

I use it all the time in the real world. I'm not really a wetback.

I always thought it was an Italian thing.

I always thought it was an Italian thing.

It is. It means, "friend" or "countryman." My "Mexican" reference was to the "de la Paz" username. The character in the book is of Mexican heritage. I'm mostly of Sicilian, Italian, and Welsh background, with English, German, and a couple of other minor European influences thrown in.
