[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

About 1987 my brother-in-law and his wife visited us from Germany. We took them to the border near San Diego. We also took our daughter who was then 2 years old. We went right up to the gate into Mexico. My daughter was standing about two feet from me. A United States Border officer came up to me and advised I pick my daughter up and hold her as there were kidnappings of children wherein they would snatch the child, run across the border, and the child would never be seen again. Lord! Even after all these years I still shudder.

These are the people we are allowing to take over our South West. These are the people we should "reach out to."

We spent a lot of time in Matomoros, across from Brownsville, Texas, particularly in the mid 70’s. It was pretty run down and dirty in some areas but a lot better than San Diego. Lots of great restaurants and loved the markets. Never wore any jewelry or took a purse and very limited cash or anything else that we would miss if it was stolen. Also never took our kids until they were teens and always kept them very close to us. Mexican girls were always hot after my oldest son trying to get him to Boys Town.
