Made friends with four guys that were from the states.. all from California... all had good jobs and one had his own auto repair business with two shops, ... doing really well... now.. one pushed carts at a Calimax, another a car wash, caretaker and the last auto body repair in Rosarito ... tried to give him as much business as I could ..

They were all great guys, just got caught ... NOB and got sent back.. their lives had been ruined ... the wife's were American ... and did not stay with their man... they went back to the states with the kids... and left these poor guys in a world of hurt ... most likely for the remainder of their lives.. If not for _______ there go I...

Wrong

They ruined their lives.

Life's tough. One should hope for the best yet plan for the worst.

Thinking you'll never get caught is an option...

Just not a very good one.

Just a snap shot of life which I saw... one can see or may have relatives who made a bad call ... and their life's were destroyed... it's the thing movies are made about ... living life and the events which occur, be they war, illness, death et al .... placing blame was not my intent...

the bigger your Mexican family, the more likely you are to experience the FULL range of events. And that's not even getting to cousins.
