“The Mexicans in Mexico are not the Wal-Mart variety we see up here.”
That seems to be the story I am seeing. A good friend of mine is a first generation American from Mexico. His Mexican family members are business owners and very solid people...but they live 500 miles south of the border. His other family members who live on the border are all the trashy types; think Aztlan and hating whites/blacks and America.
I used to drive that road all the time when I was younger, in my Camaro, God I was soooo stupid.
I/ve been pretty impressed with the Wal-Mart variety here in South Carolina. They seem like hard working family people, for the most.
Only idiots go to visit a country that is at war with us.
Something is seriously wrong with comfortable Americans who freely choose to travel to Mexico to watch an “off road auto race”, especially when it will involve driving back over the border in the wee hours of the morning.
bttt
Wish the American authorities/police would do the same when they come across illegals here.
I live in San Diego around 18 miles north of the largest border crossing in the world, San Diego - Tijuana (Baja)
This article is just a drop in the bucket of what goes on every day. The beheadings, raping and robberty of tourists by police, kidnappings, murder. This is an everyday thing for years.
A person can put a good spin on this, but you have to live in a large city sharing the border with Tijuana also a large city with over 1 million people to understand what is going on with the above problems along with the drug cartels (mafia).
We face the real world here everyday.
We used to spring break at Guyams/ San Carlos (eons ago)
We had some simple rules.
Never buy Mexican gas
NEVER travel at night (cows on the road)
What looked like cops were never real cops, so don’t stop.
By 1970, we changed that to
Don’t go to Mexico........the place is now almost as dangerous as say, Miami....
