Here in Texas, I buy strawberries about once a week. I think I’ve only had a handful of decent containers of strawberries in the past 5 years.

Have you seen the cities they are building near the boarder?

First hand? no.

Pictures? yes.

There's a reason it's called the Turd World.

“it's called the Turd World.”

yup ...

About 20 something years ago ...
we had an influx of “migrant” workers hired on to a mason crew that was working a big job.

We found the “blue” rooms being trashed, feces on the floor and walls , urine everywhere, paper just rolled and piled in with the mess.

We investigated the matter ... and it was found that our new friends didn't know much about “hygiene” ... so we had all the mason foreman do a little class for their crews.
Problem solved.
I know it sounds like I'm making this up .. but it's true.

God help us ......

Observed a similar situation with a college student from Venezuela (son of a wealthy family), back in the 1980s.

He knew what a toilet was for but didn’t know that you could put the TP down it.

Venezuelan plumbing apparently couldn’t handle it.

Mexico does not have the same standards as the United States.

Human feces can account for some of the problem. At least
when this happened in years past, that’s what they came up
with to explain it.

“Human feces can account for some of the problem.”

Unfortunately

2020 COVID-19 sanitatary practices - a friend of mine from Mexico, and I, discussed personal hygiene levels re some Mexicans and “Mexicans” crossing the border illegally. Using toilet paper, washing hands? He laughed, “No.”

Here in the States, recently, I am finding that Minute Maid drinks may be foul, and some apples.

They live in a different environment than we do. What they
have available isn’t always up to the normal things we take
for granted.

There has to be a way to raise their standard of living in-
country.

The socialists enslave, and the drug community (includes the cartels and related syndicates) enslaves.

Both the socialists and the drug community tell the enslaved, that the enslaved are so-oppressed by:

- America, or
- Yankees, or
- Gringo’s, or
- the man, or
- “the right.”

And that push-marketing works, the same as it has in over decades in Baltimore, Detroit, Philly, etc.

The result being wider and wider -spreading of a social depression - a disease of the soul - that, in order to break free from, takes faith in God and individual activity, self-determination and work.

The drug community and socialists, are a sea of muck that does not let go . . . and a person has to fight, resist that vaccuum for the duration.

My Mexican friend did the math on that social science before coming to the U.S. Another friend of mine from Mexico, also did the math but had little exposure to principles and standards of things and work.

For example, he would tie a garden hose in a knot instead of simply turning OFF the valve. There is a lot of “why bother?” in the social depression.

Yet there are many followers of Jesse Jacksonian socialism who will hound a person who dares to simply turn OFF the valve.
