What a charming story! It makes me want more Mexican culture in my country too!

They have killed Nuevo Laredo Police Chiefs within literally hours of their taking office. Not a very pleasant place. There are parts of the country that are wonderful - Every now and then I go down there and go fishing with friends or to one of the resort towns, but those ares are generally taken care of by the government police (since tourist dollars are important).

Nuevo Laredo, etc., on the other hand - I wouldn't trust the cops or the federales there. They've had shootouts just between the cops.

Well I'm sure there are people who know some decent places down there, but I've never liked Hispanic culture in any form. When I first went to Europe (about 20 years ago) I went to Spain and totally hated it.

Lazy, dishonest, noisy braggarts. Always on strike and sleeping half the day. Strutting around in a way that would start a fight in most countries, but there it was just shallow macho BS.

I didn't like it at all, so I left and never went back. And then I find Hispanic culture coming to me! Well, I have confidence that this immigration thing has become a poisonous albatross, and our "fix" of it, when it finally comes, will permanently remove immigration as a threat to us ever again.

But for those who like South America and Hispanic things, more power to ya! Personally, I'm sitting in Taiwan right now, and spend a lot of time in Asia. But I'll leave Hispanic culture to others, not my cup of tea at all.
