He branched out to refurbishing homes, then renting them out. He hired Mexican immigrants, learned to speak Spanish and became attached to their culture of hard work, honesty and loyalty. He was disillusioned when many of them were deported, and decided to leave for Mexico in 2010 while continuing to manage properties in Phoenix...Hard work,honesty and loyalty = Meanwhile, the Kesters are mired in a series of bureaucratic hoops as they try to bring their son’s belongings home. Police have confiscated Kyle’s vehicles, property and a $30,000 backhoe he bought to build the house. An attorney the parents hired claims he’s entitled to 30 percent of the estate as payment. When the Kesters tried to fire him, he threatened to strip Barron Felix of a notarized letter from the Kesters that gives him access to Kyle’s property and some records.Check out another their culture of hard work, honesty and loyalty Man from Mexico pleads guilty in Texas gun case Man from Mexico stopped as fake police officer pleads guilty in South Texas to firearms charge http://www.ksat.com/news/Man-from-Mexico-pleads-guilty-in-Texas-gun-case/-/478452/19485874/-/8xopfj/-/index.html

E’ff this corrupt world—build the dream house in heaven in total peace, safety and eternal joy minus all criminals.

I have known a couple of people who decided to move the Mexico only to find out, too late, that they had no rights at all. One pair of brothers who built a beautiful home near a sea port where they loved to fish had it all just taken from them.

I don't understand people still thinking about moving there.

Sad that these wishful thinkers didn’t know what little Texans learn in grade school: Never trust a Mexican. He’s your friend until he and his cousins beat you to a pulp. If you have two of anything, he’ll steal one because you shouldn’t have two of anything.

The third suspect is believed to have fled to the United States.

Sign of the times.

The article mentions that Kyke loved Mexicans for their ethic of hard work, honesty and loyalty. Without a shred of irony, apparently.

Mexico is now and has always been nothing more than a shithole. I have found a few honest Mexicans, but as a rule I do not trust them.

I’m a bigot you say, after they steal from you, you tell me how it feels...

A tragic way to learn the reality of Mexico.

However, his death raises some questions: Did he have any college experience? If he had college experience did he take courses in ethnic studies, Sociology? Was he a frequent contributor to La Raza, Mecha or like organizations?

I saw recently that Mexico City is the kidnapping capital of the world. What they didn't say is that problem exists elsewhere in many communities.

Their local constables are corrupt; their national police are corrupt; their politicians are mostly corrupt, and those who aren't are spineless. What a waste of natural resources just below our borders. Reminds me of Cuba and how they could flourish if given the opportunity.

We've done Cabo, but will never go again. I also won't allow my wife to go to Cancun again with her daughter. We both have a veto that we rarely use, but I WILL veto that. Mexico is off limits!

[Red_Devil 232]

He hired Mexican immigrants? Did they just return from the U.S. to Mexico?

[Mark]

Why did he not just build a nice house in Chicago?

Napoleonic Law down there. Guilty til proven innocent. Corruption rules.

became attached to their culture of hard work, honesty and loyalty

That is a false image of illegals, and Mexico.

Mexico has always correctly been known as a culture of laziness, of the "Manana mentality", it is why it is such a grubby, dirty nation of poorly built and maintained structures and villages.

Mexico has always correctly been known as a culture of corruption and dishonesty, and of evasive deceit and selfishness, greed and violence.

Mexicans are loyal to who, to what, what is the centuries old image of Mexicans and their loyalties?

Americans have always known and spoke openly about Mexico until recently, suddenly in recent decades, we are are morphing them into some industrious, clean, hard working honest people like the people who created America centuries ago.

Doesn't anyone go to Mexico anymore and look at their homeland and culture, and society and see what they built... or didn't?

Doesn't anyone ponder what kind of people can so casually sneak into another country and comfortably live in a crime culture of forged government papers, lies, deceit, even crimes of stealing benefits and evading taxes?

Good stock can't do that, only weak, lazy, corrupt people can pursue that lifestyle.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Those of us who have studied the Rio Grande know why it is called the great river. The cultural division between Mexico and the U.S. is wider than the divide between China and the U.S.

This is acknowledged wide and far, T.R. Fehrenbach for example.

The noted late Mexican author Carlos Fuentes is essential reading also, particularly "The Old Gringo." Too many fail to gather the deep fatalism (Aztec - not German) of the place.

Fuentes, for example, is credited with popularizing a well-known Mexican definition of suicide: A Gringo crossing the Rio Grande, headed south.

A present day variation on that theme would be an American political party's definition of suicide.

That would be Republicans making deals with Democrats to grant dilute American citizenship with their pathway to amnesty.

Sad. RIP.

The Federales will keep everything. Most of the cars they drive are stolen.

state-of-the-art 6,000-square-foot stucco house

And a field for horses.........Where does a 38 year old drifter get that kind of money and what were his plans in Mexico to finance his future?

Call me crazy but I'm thinking the local drugs lords just wacked a gringo competitor.....
