Gringo *******s
I have noticed a number of folks (gringos) moving down here, planning on retiring but have done nothing to become legal to achieve this goal.
These type of people are generally the first ones to complain (whine) in some cases about the Mexican *******s going into the u.s. workforce.
It kinda cracks me up that these patriotic PG's think it's any different for a gringo ******* going into Mexico. One thing for sure, they sure
don't like the label, *******.

JR, tell them to grow bamboo for you and that will give them amnesty!
Where have you heard these illegals whine about their counter-parts? How do you restrain your anger at that moment?

Agree 100% with jrbaja and others on this topic.
Furthermore, these people are mostly are poachers as they:
1) never get fishing licenses,
2) or boat fishing license,
3)or boat matricula papers,
4) or get the 20 year temporary importation permit for their RVtrailer they leave behind,
5)or get anFM-3 to cover their residence and quads and cars left here,
6)Work illegally chartering their boats, or do handyman projects(electrical, carpentry, reel repair, motor repair, etc) for under the table pay, bake
and sell their pies, cakes, etc. for money so they can stay down here longer.
Yes, this is the"gringo" group I get a hard-on for, as they all are taking jobs away from resident Nationals.
It wouldn't bother me at all if "Migra" came thru on one of their sweeps checking immigration papers, and scooped them all up on violations.
I expect some of them will be eliminated from here when the USA requires a USA passport to get back into the USA from Mexico on Dec 31, 2006.
Yep, that is exactly what the new law states.

That chubasco is certainly warming up! I love blanket characterizations, they are always so accurate.

Wages are better in the US for young mexicanos y mexicanas because the work is hard and they are best able to do it. After all, they can make in the
US in one hour what it would take them a day or more at home.
Retirement is better in Mexico for the old Gringos Y Gringas because the life is easy and they are best able to do it. After all, they can make in
Mexico in one hour what Social Security at home would give them for a week.
Give us your tired, your poor, your young, and we'll give you our retired!!!

I think you guys have forgotten what it's like to HAVE to work.
When I met my future Mexican wife we had to wait 2 years for her papers to come in. During that time I supported us by commercial fishing on a
purse seiner out of San Diego AND Mexico (among other jobs). I was happy to do the work and the (Mexican) captain/owner was happy to pay pay me to
do the job. What's wrong with that?
I worked for 1/10 the $ in MX that I worked for In S.D or Alaska but when you need the money every little bit helps.
It's easy to pass judgement when you have a guaranteed income or are living comfortable with investments. Things are different when your
wondering how your gonna pay the bills.

Under the Table
Yeah, those Gringo *******s are really making a killing in the reel repair/pie baking industry. I bet they are pulling in fifty maybe even sixty
bucks a week. Think of the taxes they are avoiding. And the out of work local must really be upset that illegal immigration is killing his income.
Come on, these retirees would be doing these same odd jobs here in the US under the table as well. Who is going to file a tax return for baking pies,
electrical odds and ends and fixing reels? It fits under the catagory if misc. income and not very many retirees pay it north of the border as well.
My grandmother lives alone in a senior park in Yuma and if it weren't for the neighbor contractors, her place would be falling apart. These people
fill a gap inside the community in which they live. They speak the same language and people are comfortable hiring them for the task.
If you are worried about the gringos displacing the local worker in Baja than you are not seeing the big picture. I am sorry but it is not the same
as the immigration problem we have north of the border.

Very funny Me No
This one even brought druby back off the streets of T.J. Damn!
But, I should clarify. It's not so much the gringos working here illegally, it's the ones who come down planning to live here (u.s.patriots?)
setting up their digs or whatever without first becoming a legal rather than illegal alien.
Most everyone I know working down here have their papers in order and the ones who don't are afraid to go to work until they do.
Wonder why we haven't heard from mike humphreville on this ?

Right on, Big Al...
JR, what about all those '*******' gringos and medicos that volunteer so much time and provide freebie services for locals in many Mexican villages
...and all those '*******' gringos that 'sell' their cakes, cookies, and pies at public events to provide funds for various charities
...and all those '*******' gringos that collect clothes, eye glasses, etc. to give away to many needy local groups all over Mexico
...and how about those '*******' gringos that arrange to have surplus equipment and vehicles donated to Mexican villages to supplement their
firefighting and emergency facilities?
Sure, some are bound to be 'illegal'...is this actually, a BIG problem - do these '*******' invade the emergency rooms and state agencies for
freebies, as their namesakes do above the border - I think not!
Do the '*******' gringos spend their hard-earned, life-long earned savings in their chosen Mexican villages for housing, entertainment, food and
drink, etc. - I think so!
Climb off that 'high-horse' of your's once in a while, the view of reality is better down here...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

From my gringo patriotic perspective
*******s is *******s. No matter which direction they came from or where they went or what they do.
And as far as my high horse goes, I suggest you take a reading comprehension course and try reading my posts again. I don't recommend taking one in
the u.s. though as they don't seem to work.
And are you saying that it's 0k to come here as an illegal? Why? Because it's Mexico and gringos are "above" having to follow the rules?
Maybe something more than just the comprehension course would be in order in this case!
