An Open Letter To Mexican President Felipe Calderon
Dear President Calderon:
As you are no doubt aware, America the Great is quickly becoming America the Gray. The so-called "boomer" generation, comprised of approximately 40 million Americans, will soon reach retirement age.
As they age, America's boomers yearn for a less frantic pace---and a lifestyle that allows one to pause and smell the roses now and again.
In other words, boomers are looking for the "Good Life" which is supposed to accrue to those who work 45 years, pay ungodly amounts in taxes, raise a family, put children through college, and baby-sit the grandchildren.
Unfortunately, the United States is no longer as hospitable as it once was to graying citizens, especially now that our economy has collapsed.
As a result, we boomers have decided to move to your beloved Mexico.
Knowing that the Mexican government is a strong proponent of open borders and liberal immigration policies, as least as regards migrations from Mexico to America, boomers anticipate that their needs and wishes will be fully accommodated with minimal interference and bureaucratic hassle.
In plain English, boomers expect to be treated like upscale Mexican citizens, with all the perks and advantages attendant thereto.
Incidentally, we prefer to be called "undocumented boomers."
President Calderon, I am delighted to announce that 40 million undocumented American boomers are headed to Mexico!
Viva America!
Current plans call for about 500,000 boomers to cross the border into Mexico each month.
As with any complex transition, there are several "ground rules" that must be followed in order to make this change seamless.
Accordingly, your attention is directed to the following action items:
* Mexican sovereignty, borders, and immigration laws are essentially null and void with respect to undocumented boomers. No attempt should be made to enforce said restrictions on good hearted, formerly hard working Americans.
* Undocumented boomers shall receive unlimited education, food, housing, legal assistance, and geriatric care on demand, the cost of which shall be borne solely by Mexican taxpayers.
* Mexican hospitals, medical clinics, and emergency rooms shall be obligated to meet the medical needs of all undocumented boomers, without regard to ability to pay.
This obligation shall not be limited or restricted in any way because of any real or projected negative impact on Mexico's medical systems, including the loss of vital services to Mexican citizens.
* Although undocumented boomers shall not be obligated to pay for medical services received, they shall be entitled to send $30-50 billion a year back to the United States with impunity. The Mexican government shall actively facilitate the transfer of such funds to America.
* English is the only language used by undocumented boomers; boomers have no desire or obligation to learn Spanish .
* America's historic free speech, free love, and anti-war revolutions originated with activists in the boomer generation.
In keeping with the boomer tradition of aggressive activism, from time to time it may be necessary for millions of boomers to take over the streets of Mexico's large cities in order to protest proposed new laws when the "rights" of undocumented boomers are in jeopardy.
There is alot of mexico that isn’t what you think...
Been to Cabo lately?
Guatemala is a beautiful country. Now that the government is settled down (I was there during a coupe), we’d find it most hospitable. I vote Guatemala.
Its on my shortlist of places left to go L0L
I would have to live in the Mountains for the cooler weather.
It’s close to home too.
That is painting with a really big, big brush, and mostly BS!!!
Darwin.
I’ve been trying to warn stupid Americans about Mexico for years but not anymore. Anybody stupid enough to go down there deserves what they get.
As a boomer myself, and one of the increasingly smaller pool of productive members of society that will bear the brunt of Obama’s tax policy, I think I resent that remark. It is not the boomers who are lazy.
I’ve thought about that recently. All the productive Americans fleeing confiscatory tax rates will need American doctors to care for them, right?
I think I could make the sacrifice.
Its the Gen Y's and Millenials that I am worried about.
I wouldn’t go to a Mexican hospital for anything more serious than a band-aid.
Lordy AuntB, the photos are mighty upsetting and should be a warning to all. I was raised on the Texas border country, have since moved more centrally. I have good friends in Mexico and like you have told folks NOT to go into Mexico. DON’T! Heck, THEY’RE saying not to come into Mexico! Americans are not paying attention and endangering not only themselves but their families.
Until DC gets a brain (which I don’t see happening for years) and secures the border we will have to do it ourselves. Begin by reporting all known illegal alien hangouts to the INS, keep calling until they get sick of hearing your voice. Talk about it often.
Rancher friends have told me about the many on-going incursions from Mexico, armed, military, para-military, narco, it’s all happening. They need to be met with force, which some are, it’s just not being reported about. We need to back up property owners there. The narco wars are already moving in and soft-talk idiocy will get one nowhere, they want our goods, our money, our property and lives are not important as your posts show.
“There is alot of mexico that isn’t what you think...
Been to Cabo lately?”
It’s not what I ‘think’...Mexico is what it is....a big PROBLEM. Cabo hasn’t escaped it and neither will we.
How ‘bout you? Been to Cabo lately?
Canadians wounded in Mexico nightclub shooting

Two Canadian tourists have been injured in a nightclub shooting in the resort town of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. [snip]

AND another one...yes, lovely place...
“The body of a gagged man was found in Cabo San Lucas a known and popular American tourist spot. His fingers had been chopped off.”

“You can build on a nice mountain for $35 a square foot”
I did that in California. Still can. Of course, in the southern part of the state, you’d think you were in a latino land.
If only it would happen!!
Bye bye boomers!
I left So Cal 17 years ago
Maybe Boomers will call up their old druggie pals and encourage moves to Mexico, as well.
Give the Columbian drug cartels some competition.
I guess nothing bad ever happens where you live, eh?
Of course, there is NO WAY we can get citizenship. It takes an act of their Congress to get papers to go deep sea fishing for 2 weeks. They demand your "papers" and they go through your vehicle to make sure there is nothing illegal in your vehicle. They actually made me feel like I was a criminal who was smuggling something into their perfect country. (Perfectly lousy country!) The way things are today, I will NEVER go back there again.

Yeah, sure does. Mostly armed Mexican Drug cartels growing dope next door in the national forests and parks using all our local law enforcement resources.
