going to Mexico “for a procedure”

I wonder how much tax (welfare) money goes to nail salons and eyelashes and butt injections...

It sure seems like a lot of Cadillac Escalades in the ghettos too. Spinning rims and all.

Going to Mexico for medical treatment or prescriptions is a long-time tradition. I figured from the initial reports that it was a bunch of senior citizens going. Guess not.

Ha! A friend who was a cashier at a Krogers, said you wouldn’t believe what we see. Black gals with elaborate nails, hair, jewelry, usually talking on their cells would come in using WIC. The cart helpers would rave about their cars! It was an ongoing joke at the store.

A lot of retired “winter Texans” go to Mexico for dental and small medical care as well as cheaper prescriptions.

I hope it’s not senior citizens.

A LOT

I shop at a family-run grocery store that carries a lot of interesting items. Its run by an immigrant, so he gets a lot of other immigrants.

The owner likes to complain about taxes, so we get along well. I was mentioning the high price of lobsters and asked "who can afford this?"

He pointed to a large, shiny Cadillac Escalade out in the parking lot, with some Russians/Ukrainians in it: "they can - and they just paid with Food Stamps..."

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

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.
