A lot of people go to Mexico for cheap surgery especially plastic surgery but I myself personally seen some of these procedures not do very well

Stomach stapling

Black women besides 90% needing to shed weight

Need butt reduction not enlargement

My opinion

When I was a kid black women were thin

The lighter skinned sometimes comely

Now it’s waddle time

Crazy

Had a co-worker go to TJ for an operation. I guess it worked...for a minute. But she just kept eating the way she always has...and lost no weight. She eats like crap...all the time. Total waste of money.....Should have just wired her mouth shut.

Report I heard this morning was that it was the Mexican gov’t that mistakenly did this... Mexican gov’t officials on the cartel payroll.

Those ghetto gals put their money maker to work. Popping out as many kids as they can birth without a babydad equals more money and freebies from unca Sam.

[The U.S. State Department] said organized crime activity, including gun battles, armed robberies and kidnappings, are common along the border and in Ciudad Victoria.

I have a great idea! Instead of having to take a trip down to Mexico for all that FUN and EXCITEMENT, let's open up the border, and we can enjoy the same THRILLS right here in the Good Old USA!

[W]e should put troops on the border, maybe occupy the first 10-100 miles of Mexico to rid it of the cartels and create a safe zone

Been there, done that.

Mexico used to be very protective of American tourists. LOTS of turista money. Now the country gets funds from the cartels and from china. Follow the money and you will find their loyalties.

Back in the 90’s I worked for a company that sent people to Mexico to work with their banking systems and they hired arm guards back then due to the high risk of kidnapping.

There was a time when American Presidents didn’t put up this kind of...stuff.

“John Hay, the American Secretary of State, issued a statement to the Republican National Convention in June 1904 that “This government wants Perdicaris alive or Raisuni dead.” Roosevelt’s display of force...”

Of course no one is likely to confuse FJB with TR.

Yep, 100% they were going for “Brazilian” butt implants or injections. Which is probably why the criminals knew exactly where they were going to be.

lots of respectable people go to Mexico for dental work or other.....

I suspect a big deal will be made of this because the victims are black....

I guess the main question would be why Americans are forced to seek cheaper health care or cosmetic or dental care in a third world country.....why is OUR system so out of whack with what average Americans can afford.

tell her to stop eating wheat!

It plugs your system so you don’t absorb any nutrients, so you are constantly hungry.

With no other changes to my diet or exercise I lost 40 pounds just by stopping eating wheat. But you have to be religious about if for AT LEAST several weeks. Because if you eat one single thing of wheat you have to start over.

meat and veggies. simple as that

Going to Mexico for medical treatment or prescriptions is a long-time tradition.

In the early/mid 1950’s my Dad, and some of his long time friends and fellow WWI and WWII vets drove into Mexico for Rx glasses, false teeth, teeth removal or feeling and some fairly heavy surgery.

They were vets from the SW and Texas. The Texas vets guided them and help keep them safe.

Flash forward, a young 30 something guy and his 65 year old Mother drove to the California/Mexico border, parked in an armed parking lot and got a ride to the dental surgeon’s Mexicanoffice. Had the procedures done at about 20% of American costs. They caught a ride back and rode across the border back to their armed guard parking lot.

So far, they have had no problems from the dental procedures.

They all got back okay and no one died of an infection nor were kidnapped.
