Bad move. No common sense to stay out of Mexico.

The U.S. Consulate in Tijuana confirmed yesterday that all four were U.S. citizens: Brianna Hernandez Aguilera, 19; Carmen Jimena Ramos Chavez, 20; Oscar Jorge Garcia Cota, 23; and Luis Antonio Gamez, 21.

“We are presuming that these people had connections in Mexico and the United States with criminals,” Baja California Attorney General Rommel Moreno Manjarrez said in an interview.

Yeah, they were obvious drug dealers. Sure, I believe the Baja cops. I mean, "drug dealers" works for him, right?

I’m crossing the border next week on vacation, but I’m not an idiot. I’ll be in Montreal.

There’s a reason they call that part of San Diego ‘Chulajuana’. (As a former resident of Imperial Beach, I know what I’m talking about, LOL).

Don’t worry about it, obambi is on it. Since there were signs of strangulation, he will outlaw rope.
