“Of course, by 2006, I didn’t need to visit Mexico, because I was living in it.”
BOL! Our yard guy, who has been our yard guy and a US citizen for close to 2 decades used to go to Mexico to visit his family during the holidays. After his parents died he did the holidays a little different.
A couple of years ago, he told us that he was heading south to see his relatives. I noticed that he was winking and grinning a little.
On his return, I asked how his trip was. He said Mexico north was great. I asked what Mexico north was, and he said LA. He and his brothers up here rented some homes in LA and had some of their relatives down south come to LA. He said that it upset his two kids, 10 and 13, because everyone spoke Mexican in Mexico North. He said the gang problem in Mexico North, aka, LA was probaby as dangerous as being in Mexico.
Our house cleaning lady for about the same time period is a US Citizen and has her own business. She stopped going to Mexico about ten years ago, when her American BIL was kidnapped and held for ransom for a few months. She has her mother, aunt and sister fly up here. She refuses to go to Mexico.

In 2005, one of my business associates in California was robbed, and kidnapped and held for ransom by the COPS.
He escaped his hotel room, and made it home.
No thanks : )
