I’ve said this time and time again for years and this case just proves my point....no sane,logical,civilized person should *ever* enter Mexico for *any* reason.

I was reading a Ynet article about Hezbollah’s presence in Mexico (from December 29); apparently there is no telling how many Mexicans have converted to Islam nowadays, due to the efforts of Muslim missionaries that have gone there from Spain (of all countries). The state of Chiapas may end up being the first in Mexico to go from Catholic to Muslim.

I agree. My brother and sister-in-law vacation in Mexico frequently. You couldn’t pay me to travel there.

In El Paso there is a point coming off the freeway where being in the correct lane guides you to downtown and being in the wrong lane puts you on a road toward the international bridge. The fun part is that it goes around a curve so unless you are familiar with the area you don’t know that you’re heading to the bridge. Even better, once you can see that you are heading to Mexico there is no turn around. Once you get to that point, the US customs want you to enter Mexico and turn around. Many a trucker has been harassed or jailed by Mexico for things like finding bullet casing in the cab. The El Paso solution was to put up a sign after the point of no return that says “No Guns.” Sombody must have told the Google Maps people about this becuase you can’t get a street view of this particular stretch of road.

The point of this rant is that some people get sheperded into Mexico by our inept city and pay dearly for it. Were I to find myself in this situation I would remove my car keyes on the US side and wait for a tow truck to be called. Of course these days I am sure that would be some type of federal offense.
