I wonder how the Mexicans would react if a bunch of white Americans got together and started seizing property of Mexican nationals here in the U.S.

I wonder how the Mexicans would react if a bunch of white Americans got together and started seizing property of Mexican nationals here in the U.S.

Who really wants to seize a beat up school bus with bad brakes and a milk jug filled with tepid water?

[Victoria Delsoul]

The seizure Friday occurred a few hours before President Vicente Fox (news - web sites) arrived in Chiapas to inaugurate a program called the "National Crusade for Legal Security in the Countryside."

Hmmm, he obviously needs to do a better job.

Fox needs to get off the fence. When is the next election? It would be nice if Mexico's legislature and mayoral picks would swing more to the right. But... On a side note, these "victims" haven't chosen wisely, however, they're growing older and wiser and, I expect, firmly on the road to conservatism.

Very Good Point!

There is strict rules here about the places where you may or may not operate a tourism house, just to not hurt your vicinity.
Friends of mine own a ranch in Chiapas and never had nor expect any problem. They rule their ranch in accordance with what they feel about their neighborhood.
People who act like if there is no rule in Mexico and start inviting guests in a ranch should have thought about that they are themselves guests in Mexico.

If your guests start inviting unknown people for money, are you really willing to invite them again ?
