Now I know what the Sonora ad in the AZ Repbulic was for. 'Arizonans, we are looking for you'.

These folks started out with the “white cross” blockades of the roads and you’d drop a few bucks in the bucket.... 30 years of history in the Mexican Frontier

Americans traveling into Mexico need to be reminded that they’re traveling into a primitive, corrupt, third world country that’s aggressivey and illegaly trying to import its culture to the U.S. (Where nearly 30% of the population is supportive!)

NOW they are willing to admit this exists???

Over 3 years ago- a group was coming back from the Baja 1000, where they had served as a pit crew.

They were stopped at a ‘checkpoint’. They were taken away from their new truck, trailer, & all the spare parts they carried, & their personal effects.

They were driven up into the mountains & thought they were going to be killed. They were not killed, but it took over 7 hours for them to walk back to the main highway.

NOTHING has been seen of their new TRUCK & TRAILER & parts since. Not aware if their insurance company paid them for their losses. That can get tricky when it happens in Mexico.

Wonder what will happen when an Arizonan tells them, “Papers?, I don’t need no stinkin’ papers”.

They are looking for people from Arizona. They were telling the truth.

It’s SMART! I’ve boycotted Mexico since I was a kid. As an adult, 15 years ago, I went to Nogales, Arizona, where my sister was teaching. After I went into a KFC bathroom and saw what I saw, I vowed never to set foot in Mexico or the Nogales KFC again. Since then, what I saw in that bathroom has migrated up here to Chandler.

I used to work for a lawyer who was arbitrating a case between two Arizonans who had a car accident in Mexico. When one of the victims, after going to the hospital, got to his truck (impounded), everything of value was “stripped” off of the truck. Insurance hadn’t paid, thus, the victim was suing the other driver. The other driver’s defense was that he wasn’t responsible for what was stolen by the “Mexican authorities”.
