Fine, just so long as they move the politicians to Knoxville. :D
He is correct that a successful economy depends on trust, and America is well on the way to the condition of mistrust he describes in Mexico.
Just another aspect of the Mexification of the United States.
Cause most people have never been there and they couldn't even find it on a map. lol
I just know its been to long since I’ve vacationed in Arizona.
Hey, now, you never heard C.W. McCall’s ‘Convoy’? Rollin’ up Itnerstate 44...that’s Oklahoma!!
But, you’re right. Flyover country is overrun with illegals and they aren’t getting the ink.
The meat-packing plants in Dodge City, KS, became job-centers for illegals a long time ago, according to a post I read at least 4 years ago.
What’s the status of the bill in Oklahoma? Is there a bill?
I wonder where that mountain is. I would be there in a heartbeat, however us gringos cannot own property in Mexico and their immigration policies are a bit difficult if I understand correctly. Some of my friends have gone to Costa Rica.
How difficult is it to gain Mexican citizenship?
And a little further south, National Beef is located in Liberal, Ks.
So that is the reason Mexico hasn´t overtaken Florida as the main haven for US retirees? I would otherwise, and I was thinking of why before reading your post, think it would be an optional place to live a good live off your savings, with cheap costs and beautiful beaches, food, women and so on.
Ain’t that where the Packers play?
Really? I don’t remember seeing anything on them when we were ‘commuting’ through Liberal.
I’d bet there are several Kansas communities who could tell the same sort of story.
That’s about what you hear as they look at you with bewilderment as to exactly where WI is.
Nestled in-between Minnesota and Illinois! Then again, I was a geography major in college for the first two years.
I hear what you’re saying - my wife grew up here in Arizona and used to tease her NY cousins. She told them their trip out here was fairly safe, because they always circled the station wagons at night to protect themselves from the Indians...in 1958!
“She told them their trip out here was fairly safe, because they always circled the station wagons at night to protect themselves from the Indians...in 1958!” lol
“Who cares if it’s illegal. No one here does.”
And that, mi amigo, is one of the great reasons Mexico is the way IT is and the United States is the way IT is.
I wonder if he thought about what he wrote? Disgusts me.
Immigration activists usually claim that opposition to illegal immigration is a form of hatred and racism. There’s actually no hatred involved. Here’s why most Americans oppose illegal immigration:
1) Illegal immigrants raise the crime rate in America.
2) Illegal immigrants increase the motor vehicle accident rate in America. ( I can testify to that after a few harrowing taxi rides in Mexico with drivers who were stunningly reckless even with passengers in their cabs. A high percentage of illegal immigrants are dangerous drivers, no question about it.)
3) Illegal immigrants receive a high level of government benefits from the states and localities and divert money from schools and other priorities while driving up taxes.
4) A high percentage of illegal immigrants, if they become citizens or register to vote illegally, register as Democrats and vote for liberal politicians. These liberals can pass laws that most native-born people strongly oppose, such as the recent monstrous health care law. We have the right to resist a takeover of our country by left-wing socialist politicians because we strongly oppose the laws they vote for.
If you ask immigration advocates whether we should allow an unlimited number of Mexicans to immigrate to the US, most activists would say “yes.” But if you then asked them if we should also allow an unlimited number of Chinese people to immigrate to the US, even as many as 100 million Chinese in the next ten years, I think most of the activists would say no to that idea because it would overcrowd America and overload our infrastructure. So their campaign for unlimited immigration is probably intended primarily for Mexicans and other people from Central America. We don’t hate those people. We just want them to fix the problems in Mexico instead of moving up here and bringing those problems to America.
