US Customs and Border Protection, Spanish Grammar Booklet
A practical Spanish grammar booklet issued by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency is deconstructed. The manual focuses almost exclusively on authoritative commands such as "show me your hands" and "tell me the truth" rather than conversational language. The hosts characterize the document as a tool for intimidation and a sign of a burgeoning police state.
