He's definitely in need of help. I knew a gal who was married to a cop and, in the morning while getting suited-up in front of a full length mirror, he would get sexually arroused.

On the note....welcome to BajaNomad, MaryJo. :biggrin:

Demand as "we" will, it falls largely on deaf ears. Mexicans by the millions cross our border illegally and have their way with our country in spite of our demands.
Now...I know you know that, but you have taken on the roll of US prosecutor at the cost of giving up your country and those whom you should be showing at least a little bit of loyalty rather than making grandiose accusations in your efforts to ingratiate yourself to Mexicans and Mexico.

If you can't handle Americans or America, why don't you just stay in Mexico, get your citizenship and become a legal activist. then you could march around the streets with a placard telling the world how screwed up your benefactor is.

Funny you should ask. She was just telling me her most interesting vignettes of married life. That was only one of many.
Another.........she had finally reached the end of her rope and told her husband that she couldn't put up with any more. He looked at her momentarily and left the room, returning about five minutes later wearing one of her dresses.
"What do you mean? This?" he asked.

Divorce....signed, sealed and delivered.

Questions:

When applying for his U.S. citizenship are you gonna tell 'em?

Mexico requires dual citizens to enter and leave Mexico under Mexican citizenship. How's that gonna work?


He has his US stuff already done ~ the deal is that he is a citizen of whichever country he is in.When in Mexico, he is Mexican, when in the US, he is American. He has a Mexican passport, and Mexican birth cert., a CURP, a CRBA, and a US SSN. He will get his US passport this year. It's really no big deal.

the same could be said of the millions of US citizens that cross over to Mexico to run amuck and treat the Mexican citizens the same way they treat they in the states ~ like trash. Of course, not everyone does ~ but the ones that do make the biggest and most lasting impression. There are days when I wish I could just up and leave the States permanently, but I have the ability to travel between here and there so when I get frustrated with certain policies and people, I can flee. Should there come a day when I am no longer able to do that, then I think you can guess what my choice would be.

BTW ~ the border officers have never been interested in his Mexican passport, just his CRBA ~ because the are only interested in whether or not he is a US Citizen. Same goes for when he travels on a plane within the states. They only want to see the CRBA (which we could not have gotten unless we declared his Mexican citizenship).

And I NEVER said I couldn't handle America or Americans ~ I just think that the double standards stink. Period.

On the other side of that coin, I recently was on another site that carried a story about how John of Orange (Boehner) is breaking with a long-standing House tradition that was started under Dennis Hastert. It is a Cinco de Mayo celebration hosted by the Speaker. Boehner said that it was OK with him for the House Hispanic Caucus to host their own party, but he was not going to fund it as Speaker.

Thereafter, on this site, a number of virulent anti-Mexican posts. could be observed.

Fact is that the Hispanic Caucus is made up of members with far flung backgrounds that include Mexico, but, more importantly, include those from Central America, Cuba (in my opinion, it has always been the Cuban exiles and their offspring that have driven policy), and ta da! Puerto Rico, which if I recall correctly is this big, lush island in the Caribbean whose inhabitants are, at birth, citizens of the US.

Give me just one instance. Tell me when that happened.... just once.
I know it may happen, but I insist that you qualify your statements. When, in your experience, did anything like this happen?
I don't think you can answer that. You're just working on your meaningless need to vilify, for personal reasons, the US and her citizens.
You have no real idea of the true relationship between the US and Mexico. All you have is your simplistic thoughts that your child's citizenship will give you a slot in the cabinet of life in a country not of your own by birth.
You won't be accepted....so you can forget that.

You, and others like you, are frauds to yourself. You used to be frauds to your kind, but you have gone to another level. You've convinced yourselves that if you trash your country and your kind that Mexico will like you.

What a joke. They will never like you and I can understand why. You give up your friends.
