Roque Dalton Garcia Quotes

The ones who filled the bars and brothels...
the ones who were mowed down with bullets
while crossing the border,
the ones who barely made it back...
the eternal illegals... the saddest sad people in the world,
my countrymen,
my brothers.

Laws are created to be followed
by the poor.
Laws are made by the rich
to bring some order to exploitation.
The poor are the only law abiders in history.
When the poor make laws
the rich will be no more.

Las leyes son para que las cumplan
los pobres.
Las leyes son hechas por los ricos
para poner un poco de orden a la explotación.
Los pobres son los únicos cumplidores de leyes de la historia.
Cuando los pobres hagan las leyes
ya no habrá ricos.
