    Not sure what your point is?

    But you are correct; I have never been to Mexico City. Probably would only go there if Trump’s hair was hanging so I could spill a bottle of used whiskey on it. Not the best place to visit from what I hear.

    I have spent a combined total of 2 years living in Mexico, 2 to 6 months at a time. Living on the beach in my RV and fishing was a great way to start my retirement years.

    From my sauces, a lot of people in Mexico are upset with Trump, and the reason for my Mexico City reference.

    I'd like to see the wall built from Big Sur to Yosemite and then when you hit the Missouri head north, annex Ontario, BC, Calgary, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands and call it a day.

    Not sure what your experience is living in Mexico? But in my 2 years living there, I can only recall one Mexican person that did not like Americans. All he did was stay away from Americans; he never made it into an issue or problem for Americans.

    I was treated like family in Mexico. I fell in love with the Mexican people. They are the most generous, kind, no-judgmental, hard working people. I am sad and embarrassed at the poor way we treat Mexican’s in our country. I could write several books on all of the acts of kindness I received while living in Mexico. I could not write one page on the Mexicans that did not like Americans.

    I have no idea why so many Americans hate Mexicans? But it is time to stop the undeserved hated and prejudice.

    I think you're smoking crack, don't actually know a single unemployed young American, and don't really know any Hispanic workers, or you wouldn't be making such preposterously inaccurate racist claims. You see the bum on the corner, not the 25,000 at work or seeking a job.

    People are people. They all have pride, they all want to succeed. Given a fair chance, I've rarely met a man who wouldn't match it with effort. SSI is for retired people who have more than earned every cent and for disabled and disadvantaged people and it's hard as fuck to qualify and takes years to do so. And then it's not even half of a living wage. Nobody I know would pass up an honest job to scrape by on SSI and returning cans.

    Since you know criminals in your area who are dealing drugs and cheating the government you should report them at once rather than continue to shield them from prosecution.

    You're absolutely right about deserving folks, I just got off a 12 hour shift with a disabled man I care for twice a week. I should not generalize things that are just local observations I'm semi retired and dealt with a lot here working in public and it's undoubtedly left me jaded. I mean no offense to anyone

    So you never immersed yourself into the culture? You’re just spilling hatred and prejudice.

    I have spent a lot of time on the mainland, just not in Mexico City. I found I was more comfortable in the small villages. My rule was, if a commercial airline few there, I did not go there. Mexico is much like the USA, the bigger the city, the bigger the problems.

    And no, it was not about American money. They are a kind generous people. I have been far out into the country driving on back dirt roads with no signs for direction. Stop at a small farm house to ask directions to the petroglyph I was trying to find. I was immediately invited into the home and offered a beer. When he opened the refrigerator, all he had in there was one beer, and he was offering it to me. I told him I was on medication, and could not drink it.

    If a Mexican stopped at your house to ask directions, would you even think about offering him a glass of water???

    The places where locals don't give a shit about money or going anywhere are always the coolest. Learn about a culture by the people who never leave there.

    I live on the top floor of an apartment building, I wouldn't answer the door.

    And Baja California, I don't care how far you drove and what little village to get to San Felipe you stopped off in. Its basically like me going to Disneyland to Hollywood Blvd while stopping to use the restroom at a Jack in the Box in El Monte and saying I experienced Los Angeles Culture. Yeah, what's next, Hawaiians in Waikiki love white people? Yeah, go a little deeper inland and see if that still holds true.

    I remember I was at a mall in Acapulco with a driver, we passed the Christian Audigier store there and he asks me kind of loudly "oh, this is what the N-word's wear in the US right?". :MARIS61:

    I deleted that post maris, but I do not shield anyone, nor would. I don't smoke crack and I do know a lot of unemployed unmotivated kids here. I'm not a racist, I'm interracially married for 27 years

    I just drove through Baja Norte, did not spend much time there. I have never visited San Philippe, it’s too touristy.

    Are you saying La Paz does not live a true Mexican culture? BS.

    I disagree with your comparison of most small villages in Baja to being Disneyland’s. The towns that catered to tourists where Disneyland’s, most are large cities, with commercial airports to bring the tourists. I drove almost everywhere which got me away from the Disneyland’s.

    Most small villages in Baja Sur do not cater to the tourist. Except for Cabo San Lucas, which is very touristy and not living a Mexican culture, I would call it Disneyland.

    As far as Mexico City, if that is where you lived? Detroit, New Orleans and St. Louis all have higher murder rates than Mexico City.

    Just because Detroit is a dangerous city, would you tell someone from another country to not visit the Grand Canyon or the beaches of Oregon? Or that the beaches of Oregon are not the true American experience?

    Thanks for posting this Mags, this would be a far better policy than what we are currently doing. Trump may not be perfect but he is not afraid to be wrong, or say what a lot of our country feels. If people come here legally ok they would be welcome, and yes if need be we can adjust the rules for those that want to come here.
