Agreed, I'll try not to get deported. I do speak Spanish, although I've had so many Mexican students with good English that I can't believe bilingualism will give me much of an edge. So if teaching English is the only option, I'm resigned to that. And it's fair enough that they protect their job market for Mexicans.

But basically, I shouldn't even try to get the work visa from here, right? Showing up as a tourist and then looking for a job will not get me into trouble?...
