I am sick and tired of the arrogance of the third-world dirtbag Mexican government and their occupying army here in the states. I am sick and tired of our politicians; the demonrats are an anti-American 5th column and the Repub's in the Senate are gutless wonders who could care less about those, like us here on FR, who got them to where they are.

You are still trying to find constructive and mature reactions responses and are hoping to find reasonable solutions to the problem, and I commend you in this. The Mexican government is so corrupt that no matter how much their economy improves, there will be little trickle down and the illegals will still keep trying to make it here.

I, on the other hand, am older and more cynical. I see no way out of the problem. Our politicians will betray us, the media will aid and abet this, and ultimately there will probably be something resembling a civil was in this country.

So, I'm just trying to throw a monkey wrench in wherever I can.

Besides, having spent a lot of my life in third-world countries, I can assure you that their ideas regarding hygiene are considerably different from ours. So it is partly out of health concerns that I will buy no produce grown in third-world countries.

So, basically you are sick and tired. ; ). I know that feeling.

Thanks for your answer. I think that trying to throw a Monkey Wrench in things, not to mention the hygiene aspects, seem fair enough and despite the murky nature of the expected outcome, you will certainly feel much better! Sometimes that is the most important thing—you just have to stick it to the man. (Ok, at least I do.)

You are absolutely correct about the Mexican government of course. Unfortunately, I am too young to give up yet. And, for that matter I'm a bit, uh, pollyannaish. So I'll keep trying.

Thanks again for your response. I really do need to get going, but that refresh button just keeps calling me back. LOL.

Have a great afternoon.
