we all have opinions, and are free to share them.
I seem to agree with most everything that has been posted here.
not quite nearly native, but an Arizona resident for 33 years and counting, and for the most part, Arizona has been an embarassment politically, and socially, but I still love it here, and plan on staying regardless of how insane some of
the people here are - folks are crazy everywhere, Arizona has no patent on that.
I do question why we can have 10's of thousands of our military guarding borders all over the world, but we can't/won't do much to protect our own. Similar to foreign aid - why not tell all of the "other" nations who benefit from the USA handing out cash and protecting their borders, that for the next 5 years - they get half:
half the money, half the military that we currently send overseas, while the good old USA takes that "other half" and fixes our schools, and our roads, and protects OUR borders.

Joester I am glad you said it, I mention it before and unlike you I got ignore or even think I got "BUUUuued" at, at least you have two going for your idea, my brother in love just came from Afghanistan, he is and always have my back up in ANYTHING, I rather have him here with his family and guarding the borders than there were nothing is getting done, IMHO, how many years now trying to catch Vin Laden now? how many wasted lives? and we are still threaten by them here, heard about the failed car bomb in NY?
The Laws should be made by the people for the people in a democratic manner where all have a say and possibly have the government approved and disapproved them and then possibly there will be more of us believing in the same thing instead of spending half of our lives fighting about right or left, liberal or conservative, fascism or socialism, instead we fight about laws that do not make sense (not talking about 1070) or laws that are so old that they belong in an antiques museum!!

I love Penasco- we've been going there about 30 years, and we follow the laws when we're in Mexico, but after hearing some people speak about the law in Arizona, I think these people should give the following suggestions to follow when you move your business to Penasco: Don't bother getting insurance from Rosie or anyone- it's not necessary- when you get thrown in jail after an car accident, have your fellow Gringos plan a protest. Don't bother getting an FM3 or FM2- just do the work and pocket the money. Don't plan on paying any of your taxes, and don't register your Mexican cell phone. If you purchase a house, don't bother getting a Fidiecomiso, and don't show them a passport when you try to open a Mexican bank account. We've been going there and living there for over 30 years, so we have rights!

Unfortunately, the US Military/ Industrial/ Political complex would not permit it, since they benefit substantially from the status quo. When in doubt always follow the money trail for the answer to what seems counter intuitive to our own interests.

why not him if he lived in Mexico?

I doubt it will work.

He's been going down for years, and he knows darn well he can't do, being a American in Mexico, what many (not all) Mexican Nationals do in the states.
What we can or cannot do in Mexico actually has nothing to do with our problem in the states. The key words are "our problem", and it's about time to do something; and like Grandma used to say "don't ya think?"

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Kenny, I think we all should do what you mention in another thread put our fingers to our ears and go la, la, la, and wait to see what happen in 90 days, we can go on for ever but we will not change anything right now, it's signed, many agree with and many don't, whooptee dee!!! many here believe I disagree with it, I am all for it, I just do not like the profiling that is going to go along with it and that is what I am waiting to see!! just the opinion of a stinking latino naturalized citizen of USA with a heavy accent that gets profile a lot, then, now and in the future, that I can tell for sure is not going to change!! :eek3:
