I met some illegal Mexicans last night at a party. Several years ago I stayed with a couple of wonderful Mexican families in the Baja below California. These were well-off people. The homes, on average were beautifully tiled and some of them had mahogany inlaid walls, bookshelves and cabinetry that would cost a hundred-thousand dollars here. So, I’m guessing if they aren’t rich they’re very comfortable. The elderly not as well-off grandfather, while living in Mexico was receiving Social Security from the United States and owned a rent-free apartment in California which he used as his address to receive several forms of assistance checks from Californian agencies. He visited the apartment once a week to re-arrange things and make it looked lived in. He had a car, a Toyota Corolla that looked quite nice and had working air-conditioning. I gathered it was supplied as some form of assistance and he generally left it in California at the apartment. The apartment was about 1100 square feet and very livable. The grandfather told me most of entire complex, easily a 1000 units, were like him, on Californian assistance, but actually living in Mexico.
At the party were a couple of teenage boys from this family. Very nice kids. I’d be proud to have them as my own; diligent, hard working, trouble-free and much more adult than you’d expect from that age. They told me that they’d decided to go to high school in California instead of Mexico. They said that the (California) government gave them an apartment and they travel back to Mexico on the weekends. (I don’t know if they’re staying alone or if a family member is staying with them, but if I had to guess, they came alone.)
When I posted information on this family last time, Freepers angrily asked why I hadn’t reported them. Firstly, I was a well-treated guest. Secondly, this must be obvious to the casual observer. Even if I knew who to report it to in California, which I don’t, it is obvious that this is how it’s done. These people are only taking advantage of “benefits” put there for them. Not to avail themselves of these benefits would be like deciding not to take candy freely offered to you.
IIRC, Dane was a she...
You have to stop breaking things, Darksheare!
It needs something
Can’t put my finger on it.
Furniture and shrubbery.
Don’t recall if i ever heard on that bit of info myself.
I just recall Dane gigglingly defending illegals and using “It’s so sad” to beat us up for expecting the law to be upheld and borders to be defended.
I didn’t think they’d actually do it.
Yeah, real shame.
*lol*
Welcome.
This is..
This is on FR?
Someone smugly telling us that it’s okay to break the law if the law breaker is NICE/POLITE?
*barf*
Yes you did. :-)
Too late, now the milk’s been spilt.
(Carole King: “It’s a too late’n baby, it’ a too late’n now...”)
Wouldn't that be the same as Father’s brother’s cousin’s sister’s uncle’s friend’s fifth former college room mate?
and a few laws... 8^)
Well, maybe a little.
Uh.. I don’t know! *Unseen force lifts Lancelot up into the air and throws him into the pit of doom!*
Kids, if it weren’t for the science factor of their presence, they’d be less interesting.
The January Undead Thread from last year featured this misreading:
“Want to see what eats this kid?”
Which brought to mind this large armor plated bug idly chewing on Timmmy -again- from the Lassie shows.
Yes, the same Timmy who was consantly being grabbed by open wells, mine shafts, circus peopl, etc.
Illegals here, against the law, are okay if they’re polite and nice.
Awww, isn’t that just SO SAD.
*Chorus of “SO SAD”*
That kid was stupid. He survived childhood because his dog was smarter than he was.
He’s like Winky from the Brewster Rocket ‘Space Guy’ comic series.
Winky is always having his spleen injured by the aliens, or evil Doctor Mel.
Winky looks suspiciously like Timmy from the Lassie shows.
