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, *******.

*******s
A ******* is used to describe illegal entry into the country. We all know the story if its derivation. The gringos heading south enter the country
legally and then perform illegal commerce. or stay for illegal periods of time. Whether you want to admit it or not, this is different than waiting
until the cover of night and slipping accross the border with 100 other people to enter the country for the specific purpose of illegal activities.
One situation definatley creates serious social and financial situations. The other is more or less a matter of a beurocratic process and has very,
and I a mean very, little impact on the lives of Baja Californians. The net effect on their lives is definately a positive effect not the other way
around.
If the republicans didn't want all of the cheap labor and the democrats didn't want all of the potential union members and democratic party members,
illegal immigration would have been halted long ago. Our vegetables may be cheap, but we are paying the price somewhere else one way or the other. I
say, let the free market determine the price of our salads. If the farmers have to pay a decent wage to get lazy gringos off the welfare buffet and
into the fields then let the wages and prices rise.
Wow, where did that rant come from?
And yes I do know what it was like to work in the fields. When I was a kid we would work in the fields in Washinton state picking berries, bulbs,
cucumbers and anything else that would pay us enough to buy a new skateboard at the end of the summer.

gringos
wow, i dont know you jrbaja but by your posts you seem very angry and bitter. i dont think i have read a post of yours that was positive about any
gringos. i could be wrong but i dont think the legal thing really enters into it, it seems to me you just dont like gringos (even though you will
throw in the just kidding, or "stirring it up" at the end of the post). but like i said i dont know you and may be way out in left field. we moved
here legally (FM3, fidi comiso, fishing liciences, boat permits, etc.) my wife and i do as much as we can for the local community, she is a medical
professional and does volunteer work in the local clinic. we brought nothing with us with the exception of personal items, and purchased all our
furniture, etc. everything in mexico. without going into to much detail we have given more to the community than we have taken. we have many mexican
friends who we have EARNED the respect of, and we respect them. i believe the only impact we have had on mexico has been a positve one, but in some
peoples eyes i guess being american we will always be "p***** gringos", to bad really, i thought we were leaving the stereotyping in the states.
Mexray you hit it right on the head !

At least the govenment of the US has not yet provided manuels on how to break into Baja.
I just bought a new paddle--should I drop it off next time I am down your way???

Not supposed to talk about *******s?
I guess living here for the last few years, I see things a little differently than the occasional tourist would in a week or two vacation.
And, I talk about them in the hopes that some aren't so patrioticallty blinded that they listen and try to act a little better than the majority of
these obnoxious folks.
When anyone else says something about it they are labeled N-zi or anti american or who knows what. Because I am a gringo, I feel I have the right to
comment on what I see.
According to the patriots on this board, I foresee bookburnings in the near future and everyone having to drink boxed whine and build homes in bola.
And as far as bitter goes, it's more embarrassment for my fellow americans. That's why so many lie and say they are from Canada, which to me
doesn't make much difference!
And, anyone who actually does do things legally and helps their community should not take my generalizations personally!

Is Bill still doing glass? How about Marcia Klass and her masks? Many great times at the Sawdust with all the artistic fireman back in the 80's! We'd
know everyone and get in free..same with the Pageant of the Masters. Kenny Loggins at the Irvine Bowl...those were the days.

Right on jr.
You forgot to mention to shop local.
Here in Mulege there is not much that they don`t sell local anymore yet we see coolers of frozen meat and vans full of CosCo stuff everytime another
PG returns from the north.
Besides all the legal stuff JR mentions

Oh Yeah! Well back in "those days" The White House was the place for good music and dancin' the nite away! And I was probably surfing at Doho while
you were bodysurfing! My hubby grew up in the canyon, the old greenish a-type frame house! BTW, sorry to stray from the origin post so I'll sign
myself off as a PG!!! Do you know Dr. Judy, my dentist? He is still an
avid surfer!

Speaking of the original post did Laguna build the "Laborer" pickup in the canyon by Laguna Lumber? I remember John Lara did many cartoons about that
heated subject! Is he still around too? He did many of the murals down in Cabo at the Giggling Marlin....

The City sure caught mucho flak for legitimizing hiring illegals which the employers if caught by Immigration could be fined a grand per infraction.
But at the same time they'd be great workers and certainly outwork all the whitefolk!

Now this is funny! JR hiring "illegals"! They are the hardest working guys around and it really helps if you speak their language.I don't know what we
would do without them. Just joshin' ya JR! I just made a call to my hubby to ask about Dr. Marks wifes' passing. Cincodemayo, which wife were you
refering to? He has been married three times and his present wife was recently diagnosed with cancer. I did'nt ask how she was when I saw him today.
It was'nt the "Contessa" was it? She was his wife # 2. Gonna ask about the Laguna Laborer when he gets home. he knows every one and every thing about
Laguna.Maybe he knows you? Keep on keepin'on, Sally
