Nos querian Transear
Here is the full paragraph for your review:
Nosotros pagamos por los gastos del transporte de México a Los Estados Unidos,por el hospedaje,la comida y pagamos por los gastos de la visa en La embajada de Los Estados Unidos en Monterrey.
El costo de todo fue como 2700 Dólares. En ese restaurante empezaron a tratarnos mal despues de un tiempo. Estos abusivos empezaron a quitarnos $92 a la semana de cada cheque que recibíamos con la disculpa que el dueño de este lugar había pagado 3000 Dólares para traernos aqui. Entonces me di cuenta que nos querían transear y decidimos dejar el trabajo.
The people who are present in the hearing are not very educated.
Thanks for all your help.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
