This thread discusses the Content article: Fake border crossing the new outdoor adventure

I guess it is true....only PRACTICE will get you to "Carnegie Hall". Maybe we should put the border further out and charge them $19.95 (plus shipping and handling)...n' n' get Chuck Norris ta bark the features of the excursion on QVC...n' n' get Christy Brinkley to scale the fence in spandex with close-ups of her snipping the razor wire with her new Craftsman Machete'.

I wonder if they realize how much of their fee is taxable in the U.S.? That alone should keep them out. What a concept! Just think of it.

"I pay taxes, I understand the laws..."
Hellow! There is a difference between understanding laws and keeping them.

One thing that is always left out of these illegal immigrant stories is why people are willing to take the risks to come to the Estados Unidos Norteamericanos; the corrupt Mexican government. Instead of complaining about how mean we are for wanting to build a fence, etc. why wont the press report on the bad laws and corruption that makes it so hard for small businesses in Mexico?

I have lived in Mexico (and not as a missionary) and could talk for hours about the discrimination towards gringos. It is much easier to be a Mexican in the United States than it is to live as an expat in Mexico.

Anyway, I'll end this rant. I'm sure I will wait a long time before the press issues a story on why they leave instead of why they come.
