I once lived in Mexico. Now I'm resistant to even visiting there. To say it's gotten worse over the years is a gross understatement.
Ah yes, just like good old London in the 16th century. Unlike the Mexican drug lords the English would display the heads on London bridge for religious heresy; Catholics or Protestants depending on the religious outlook of the particular ruling monarch.
Perhaps Tony Blair could send the wetbacks a replica of London bridge to proudly display their wares upon.
Note to cut and run "stay homers" with your flamethrowers at the ready. I know the Republicans haven't done much about illegal immigration either but AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE YOUR GUNS. That will stop once the 'RATS take over. Thanks!
Chances are, it's only a matter of time before this comes to California.
Let's open the border even wider! It's not fair Mexico gets to keep such people for themselves!
Would one of these guys be the guy with the buck shot in the butt that the Border Patrol guys are in prison for 10 years for shooting?
It's hard to see what more we could do to make it easier for them.
Religion of Pieces meets the Mexican drug cartel.
Ping.
Just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling about the plan to enforce the border at the "outer perimeter" of North America, don't it? ;-)
I still say Mexico is a lot safer than a lot of places in other countries. If gangsters are chopping each others' heads off, and I'm not doing anything with gangsters, I'm relatively safe (though running across a loose head here and there would be kinda icky!).
If this bothers people in the U.S., then stop buying narcotics.
While stationed at the Embassy in Mexico City in 1993, a bunch of us made the trek up to the mountains of Michoacan state to see the place where all those butterflies leave from and return to every year. Michoacan is a very heavily forested and mountainous region, so it's easy to see how the locals can get up to all sort of nefarious activities and escape the eye of the authorities.
You mean the guy with 800 lbs. of marijuana found in his van? Nah... that guy is now a U.S. government witness against our very own border patrol. He's probably living it up in a hotel (at U.S. taxpayer expense) awaiting the final sentencing of the officers and working with his attorneys on his $5 million lawsuit against the U.S. While receiving free medical care, of course.
Well, I think it's the most dangerous place in the Western Hemisphere, although there some slums in Rio that rival it.
It's the only country in this hemisphere where I fear the police. Not because they enforce the laws, but because they break them.
Chances are, it's only a matter of time before this comes to California.
Close enough. can you say Tijuana
Some brag they're "headed for the Mexican Riviera" or the town/hotel where Liz Taylor used to hang out.
Let the heads.......sorry, the good times......roll.

There's a lot of whining about our rights, etc., with the powerful government we have, but I prefer it to outlaw states where outlaws rule.
Mexico is a vast country. The Mayan Riviera is a relatively safe area. But I do agree people are relatively unaware. However there are places in this country I would never visit for the very same reasons.
