Oh, I see - they are from Alabama. I couldn't tell where all this was - Athens, TX; Decatur, TX; Huntsville, TX; Limestone County, TX.

There was no way any Texas policemen wouldn't have known about Mexican jails and la mordida.

Gotta love that Mexican hospitality. Now let's extend the same deal to our guest workers.

Lol, there is no pulling over because they don't usually have 'shoulders' on the sides of the roads and I don't recall them having any speed limits.

You just have to watch out for horses, goats and cows on the roads.

If you use your cellphone you get 'cloned'!

Beyond 25 miles in you do need your visa, AND insurance.

They weren't very smart to begin with.

Oh -

Americans need insurance in Mexico
Illegal caught in the USA driving without insurance are released

Hmmmmm.

I imagine the Mexicans are not that friendly if you don't have proof of insurance in Mexico -

No, you don't have to have it. It's for your own protection. It's also a special insurance you can buy if you are traveling further into Mexico.

You just better have your 'papers' in case something happens.

I know there are many people that would not let that go


And the feds and states and cities here let them run wild and break laws Americans get charged for


This is going to be the big issue this November and in 2008


Anyone who tries to steal anything of mine is crazy

I know. I think there are many cases where our government steps in and tries to get things like that straightened out.

Especially when people are thrown in jail and they demand money.

You need to get off this thread as it just aggravates you, lol.

Gosh. Imagine that. Mexican authorities involved in extortion and theft. Not to mention that ferners can't travel freely throughout the country.

I say we pay those theives back by giving them free healthcare and free education.

Agreed. I live in Athens, AL and we are covered in hispanics. 20 years ago there were almost none. I won't say they are all illegal, but I would bet that 90% are.

We have a chicken processing plant and several plant nurseries that bring them in by the dozens.

Maybe the sheriff will start apprehending the illegals (kind of a reciprocity agreement between the two countries).

I quit going to Mexico in 1987, because I started hearing many stories just like this one.


I had many fine trips to various place in Mexico and wouldn't mind visiting Chicken Pizza again.

Mexico is fine as long as you stick to the tourist spots that rip you off.

If you venture anywhere else, you're a target.

Our sheriff(Blakely) has repeatedly stated that it's not his job to apprehend illegals,so I doubt he'll start now.I'll agree though,we have gotten a huge influx of illegals.I routinely see them at the nurseries and working for other landscape companies.
