I would like to see a sign at the border, visible to all entering the usa, saying "we apologize for the donald!"
Our best sign: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,..."
One of my favorite signs: "In-N-Out"
Feel the bern!

Nope. Things are so much better now. If we could only get out from under the wars he created things would be terrific. I'll give the repubes, one
thing, they all of a sudden like ethenyl.

The fact that anyone can travel all throughout the myriad nations that are the EU without a passport or a visa just frustrates me about the North
American experience.
We have a centuries old relationship with Mexico. We have so much Mexican culture throughout our Southwest.
Why are we so anti-Mexican?
By and large, there is no proof that Mexican immigrants, legal or not, have placed an undue burden on us.
They are hard workers. They contribute to programs such as social security, which, under current conditions, they will never benefit from, as well as
having taxes taken from their paychecks.
I'm all for keeping watch on the border for cartel drugs and the outside chance of foreign terrorists attempting to cross. But geez, there are so many
wonderful families just trying to better themselves through hard work that we need to give a rest to this anti-Mexican immigrant stuff.
One thing that I have to share. I live in Garden Grove. I'm a few miles away from Disneyland.
The city of Garden Grove is being overrun by Vietnamese.
Unlike the Mexican immigrants, the Vietnamese totally wish to maintain their native culture. Restaurants, supermarkets, Etc. And they speak their
native tongue through the next generation. They take over shopping centers, and alike.
Mexicans assimilate unlike the Vietnamese.

Do I detect an anti Vietnamese bias?
I have noticed that the whites tend to flock together,... whiteys are same as the Vietnamese, Chinese, blondes, Chaldeans, Mexicans, republicans,
1%ers, Russians, Cubans, etc.,... Birds of a feather flock together.

This is not entirely true. If you are not a resident you must get a visa and carry a passport. Usually one visa will be enough in the sense that a
visa for a Schengen country pretty much applies to all Schengen countries.
Residents can travel freely without visas, but they must carry identification.

@Bajahowod....the US's so called 'centuries long' relationship with Mexico and for that matter, all of Latin America, hasn't exactly been something
Americans can look back on with pride.
The US foreign and domestic policies were based on deception, lies and downright fraud backed by military aggression. I'm surprised, given that poor
track record, that the Latin American people, and specifically the Mexicans, are as tolerant and considerate to us gringos as they are. They have all
the reason in the world to be the other way.
Remember the Alamo, California, Veracruz, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador, etc...
MHO

Guilty. Because they are so totally insular unlike the Mexican immigrant population. They are unique, even among the other Asian populations.
An example is that not far from me is a supermarket that is owned by a Saudi. In that market, you can find food that is for Asians, Mexicans, Middle
Easterners and Americans.
Not far away from there is a Vietnamese supermarket of about the same size that has ONLY food choices for the Vietnamese population.
Just saying that in my many years living in SoCal, the Vietnamese populace is on the bottom when it comes to assimilation.
I've seen second generation Vietnamese continue to speak their native language extensively.
So, maybe I'm some sort of a racist.

Vietnamese is not a race, more of an ethnicity or nationality. The word 'racist' is incorrect. The word to describe you is 'bigot.'

I think the word to describe him would be "observant".....
He may be a bigot (I'm not saying that he is) but not because of what he has observed.

I love and respect Mexico. I get a Mexican fishing license, Mexican auto insurance, a health certificate for my dog, and an FMM. Those are the legal
requirements for traveling in Mexico. I order my documents from my travel club, and stop at there immigration office at the border, show my passport,
and get my FMM stamped and my passport stamped.
I am a rule follower - however, in being a rule follower I feel that I am showing courtesy and respect for a country that I love. I occasionally get
asked for my documents and am glad I have them. That being said, you can do whatever you choose, just don't be peeed when you end up paying fines.

I will respectfully have to challenge that statement. Unless you are flying in or out of Baja or traveling by ferry I doubt you are "occasionally"
asked for your immigration documents. In fact, aside from an immigration agent "occasionally" manning the ag. stop in GN (which you could drive
around) I have never been asked for them. My point was directly to the inquiry. If you happen to find yourself in Baja California sans immigration
documents do not worry about it. You will not be asked by anyone for them - including the police should you be so unlucky to be stopped. You
"should" get your fmm but if you don't, don't worry, drive on.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Conversely, if a Mexican national is lucky enough to get into the USA without a visa, he/she shouldn't worry, just drive on ?????? ......
