I’ll never set foot in that hell-hole called Mexico.

***
Same here.

Adult children of mine have vacationed there before, and I was a nervous wreck the whole time.

Among the dozens...and dozens....and dozens...of reasons why I’ve never set foot in Mexico and never will is because *every* policeman,*every* lawyer,*every* judge,*every* prison guard,*every* government official and *every* politician in the country is utterly corrupt.

That really bears repeating. Why any American or Canadian would even vacation in such 3rd world sh*tholes as Mexico or Cuba is beyond me. Canadians flock to Cuba during the winter, for what? To be imprisoned in some "resort" compound, which you can't leave until it's "plane time" again? Mexico? My feet will never feel it.

In that May 3rd 2011 speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.

SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS

The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.

Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.

ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?

We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.

MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?

Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico

THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .

By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico

I am not arguing with you, but Mexican society is not chaotically corrupt. There is a system there which has worked, albeit imperfectly, for almost five hundred years now. What we see as corruption, the Mexican is liely to see as tradition, based on a complex network of relationships we do not particularly honor as they do.

We have some friends who annually go to the same Mexican beach for vacation. When safety was brought up they stated it was completely safe & wonderful. They didn’t go last year and probably will not go again. I guess they finally realized that just because they had not been killed in previous years didn’t mean it wasn’t going to happen.

Some relatives went to a “safe tourist” area with some of their friends who had family there. They won’t be going again either.

Normalcy bias. Telling some people a place is not safe to go to doesn’t always register.
