Leave it to Mexicans to make a Margaritas out of Limons


News , The new barbed wire on " The Wall "

The wire that has been the target of thieves. The wire that has been the target of thieves.
Stolen border fence barbed wire now protects homes on Mexican side
Thieves have stolen the wire since it was installed in preparation for migrant caravans

Some new barbed wire placed atop the border wall between Tijuana, Baja California, and San Diego, California, didn’t stay there long: it is now serving to improve security at several area homes on the southern side of the border.

The wire was installed to reinforce the Mexico-U.S. border recently in response to the arrival of thousands of migrants in caravans from Central America.

But the barbed wire is there no more, leading to the belief that thieves on the Mexico side removed it and sold it in nearby neighborhoods, giving residents extra protection against delinquency, presumably by other thieves.



“We know about the theft of barbed wire because United States authorities have requested our help,” said Tijuana police chief Marco Antonio Sotomayor Amezcua.

But his department has not been of much help, he said, because thieves are long gone by the time police arrive.

Houses near the border are now clearly protected with barbed wire of a similar size and what’s more, a type that is not sold in Mexican stores.

Now that takes a lot of chutzpah! Not sure about the spelling on that, but how daring.

Oh yeah, stealing wire is a job in Mexico.
Like telephone poles and in house walls...
I sure they did it for the scrape value...
You know, it's part of their "culture" and all...
And proud of themselves too!
Probably had their kids doing it...
Little kids one on the others shoulders, working with razorwire probably biting it with their broken teeth...

Nice work heathens... and you wonder why?

A man can only stare at a fish behind a glass wall for so long, but when he's hungry, he'll reach behind the wall or in this case, top of the wall and take the fish. :biggrin:

Stealing is stealing.
The reason doesn't matter.
Quit looking at other peoples fish and go work for your own.

And I'm guessing that isn't what the Mexican citizens are thinking about the people on thier southern border.
Especially the caravan people who cross their country like a swarm of locusts to get to the US border.

And the idea that you think this is in some way "cute" is pitiful.
It also explains a loser mentality and alot of why the country is primitive and poor.
And why we don't want that in the US.
A hardworking US citizen produces far more than he and his family could ever consume.
And reinvests it for more productivity.
Be fruitful and multiple doesn't me make a bunch of peasant kids.

And a MAN does not steal under any circumstances.
He would never allow himself to ever get in that desperate of a situation.

The 'residents' receive protection (buying others stolen property) from those who they need protecting from... and some of the posters here celebrate. Nice.

You must be a Trump voter or supporter looking at your last two posts.

Don't say we, say you, because you don't speak for all of America.

You should tells the Mexicans how you really feel about them.

JJJ presents the typical leftist/progressive tactic in demanding to regulate speech. 'we' as in those who think as I do...not specifically but generally, which some do think as Fishbuck states, is not allowed by JJJ because it does not fit his agenda. This is what has happened in Cali where we are no longer supposed to say He or Her, we are told to say they or them by the left.

The quoted article by the poster is from Mexico News Daily...if you read the other articles written along with this one, you would get the notion that what Fishbuck said about culture is all over those pages.

But JJJ doesn't want us to discuss such issues, he rather suppress the exchange of dialogue and guards the status quo. That's where the left maintains its power.

dear fish, i'll bet you have never seen REAL poverty. mexico is a relatively prosperous country. get back to us when you have visited India ,and central Africa. like stated above, you should tell your mexican friends (have any?) how you feel. i go one further, i would be willing to bet you have little or no spanish language skills. why would a person who finds the mexican culture so flawed want to live here? your words leave me with the impression you have contempt for the poor. wow.

Why am I not surprised that xenophobic, odious, racists exist here on a sight that is basically set up to venerate a beautiful, rich and diverse country? I guess it's why pedophiles love schoolyards.

Ha, The new barbed wire on The Wall
Faulty Mexican interpretation
Big difference between barb wire and razor wire.
Mexicans don't give a hood about barb wire.
