I've lived in Mexico over 20 years

[Ridgerunner]

Nope but I did get deep inside the Mexican mafia

Interesting...

So I know a thing or two about Mexico

I live with illegal aliens from Mexico. I get this sense of hopelessness and ennui from them. They seem to revel in pain and suffering. Bullfights and cockfights and even the religious reliquaries are about pain and blood and suffering. And the calaveras, those humorous depictions of the dead mock the living. Mexicans seem to romance death and decay.

We sure need more of that brand of morose in the US.

I remember seeing a Mexican man disciplining his boy, some others would say BEATING his boy, and the kid was...laughing!. It astounded me the difference between American culture and Mexican... I was afraid if my father looked at me sidewise...but THAT took this to another level. Taking away their kids from them, what do you think?

Welcome!

So

Have you become corrupted like them too....after 20 years in Mexico?

Me and my family lived there for three years only....we had to leave LOL

my Dad (RIP Dad) whom we adored could not stand the corruption in Mexico anymore

It was astounding to me. If a Mexican parent can beat his kid, and the kid can endure that, what is the big deal if child protection agencies separates them from that same parent ? Why does everyone suppose these kids should to be reunited with their parents? Perhaps its better if they didn't?

 

[DennisJW]

Good, share some of your experiences.

I will in time Mike got to get settled first

The culture here is quite different. It's a matter of, if we, as Americans, want Latinos sneaking in or deterring them from violating our borders.

Looking forward to your narrative...

I met a fellow at the funeral of his sister. He told us he lived in Mexico and was here only for the funeral and would be going back next day. He said he moved there with $150,000 cash and a $2,500 a month pension, which he said buys him a luxurious lifestyle.

It all sounded very good but some people tend to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That was about fifteen years ago. Would you say what this fellow told us was true? Is it safe for Americans to move to Mexico? I wouldn't think so, but what do I know.

Take your time. We're all just goofing around here on USMB.

It's epidemic. AMLO, whom I disliked, is the least corrupt by Mexican standards and he's... well I'll leave it at that. Im impressed by his cabinet choices and demeanor with Trump in the immediate.

I reckon that's a good thing. Apparently I have accepted you enough for you to meet the unofficial USMB mascot.

I still have my humor, honor, and self respect. To me that's what counts.
