I would like to add that my wife had a distinct cousin who was deported back in 2000 and live in the same campo we did. He too was raised in the US but was somewhat younger, 20 and his Spanish was passable. The locals made fun of him a lot and his accent in the beginning, but he eventually did ok by getting a job at a hotel in PP. I live in Santiago and will be glad to give the fellow advice if needed.
