“A small fortune” in US currency was seized by Mexican federal authorities in Culiacan. The Army confiscated more than $380,000 as well as two vehicles from a home in the city. The operation resulted from an anonymous tip and when troops arrived at the house, they spotted an individual armed with an AK-47 rifle. Seeing the soldiers, the subject disappeared into the house, leaving the door open. He apparently escaped.

Those poor people need help.
I think about Lucienda, who's “here” from mexico, watching my children, and Pato who's also “here” from mexico who does my landscaping. They seem like such nifty, respectful, well mannered people, and I do so enjoy being patronizing to them.
I know! What we should do is let them all come here and become U.S. citizens! I can't wait to see the positive effect that they'll have on our culture!
Bilingualism is already a snap! I can say “No utilice leaf blower mientras tomo siesta” (Don't use the leaf blower while I'm having a nap), what more would I need?
And the diversity! I can only imagine how my heart will race when I hear that mariachi music in an elevator, and maybe I'll even try one of those chalupas!
60 million wonderful, hardworking, quiet, subservient people to add to our workforce! Who could ask for more!
Good one.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear conversations too similar to that one among many democrats and TOO many republicans.
The Mexican people do need help...let’s export the 2nd amendment to them so they can clean up that mess. No one else is ever going to do it.
