crazy..they're obviously talking about how mexicans cross the border, illegally.

Mary's beads, rosary, which is used to pray. Burning heart, is the sacred heart tied to jesus and the Catholic religion. Majority of mexicans are catholic. They are praying the rosary that they will not get caught. Taste of salt, Salt water. The immigrants have to run from immigration like dogs basically. Mexico is a very poor country, hence coca cola a quarter. Mexicans have one dream and one dream only, to come to America, where they arent treated like animals and given no rights.
