“Ever been to Mexico? How about Nigeria, or Iran?”
I live just north of Tuscon, and yes I have been to Mexico. I used to live in Ecuador. I have been to Somalia, China, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Diego Garcia, Hong Kong, Philipines, Guam and Enewetok in the Marshall Islands, Columbia, Peru, and Panama, plus 46 of the 57 US States. The US has by far more investigators than any country you could possibly name. The number of corrupt in the US by far outdistance the combined total of all three countries you named.
Sounds real bad. Why do you stay?
