My cousin was sponsored by Nike during his career. They took him to China and he toured the factories. They told him that one of those Tiger Woods $120 golf polos cost them a gross total of less than $4 each.

Carhartt also moved manufacturing to Mexico.

I have talked to some crane operators and other const.workers that say they will never buy carhartt again
because of that.

I like going to Mexico even when conditions are shit & piss. We have done several different things while visiting Mexico. I saw some pretty interesting things and have had huge success in going there. My dad, my middle brother and I were asked & paid to go there on a mission to locate a missing person. We were successful and he was reacquainted with his mother and sisters after being abducted by his father and abandoned in Mexicali at the age of 2 thirty some years ago. True story. Frickin Mexicans aren't gonna fuck with us. Easy Peesy.

I lived in Rosearito for six months and all the local people I met where so cool but the cops where on the take and the Federals where straight up thieves.
the local police were or still are running meth for the group just south of rosearito past the Federals and into TJ, as I said the locals are very cool but the feds and local cops are freaking scary and will take what they want from you.

beheading in Mexico is pretty common lately,killing government officals is just another day at the office for the cartels so how wrong could she be ?

just recieved this junk e-mail and no time to check it out but does it sound right/fact to you guys ?

*******************************************************************************************************************************

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri . In November, 2008, nearly 90% voting in favor! Thus English became the official language for ALL governmental activity in Missouri .

No individual has the right to demand government services in a language OTHER than English.

In 2008 a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri illegally. Missouri law enforcement offices receive specific training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

In Missouri illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayers benefits such as food stamps and health care through Missouri HealthNET. In 2009 a measure was passed that ensures Missouri 's public institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the United States .

In Missouri all post-secondary institutions of higher education to annually certify to the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the United States .

So while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to remember Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific problem.

Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in the state and they will certainly NOT receive public benefits at the expense of Missouri taxpayers!

I thought the problem wasn't mexico, as a whole (tourist wise) but the border towns in general...
I'm pretty sure you can go to your all inclusive in Cancun and feel perfectly safe.
I'd think differently about Tijijuana...

And its nothing new, Central America has always been a dangerous place, if you go to the wrong areas...

She was wrong because she said they were finding all kinds of beheaded bodies in the desert in Arizona and that was a flat out lie. Not one headless body has been found in that area.

My brother got married in Tulum, just south of Cancun, in one of the all-inclusive places this time last year. It was freakin' awesome! And we felt safe.

I was thinking the same thing. Murders, kidnapping, beatings, rapes....I can't believe anyone would want to go to the US. Mexico is more appealing.

That's why you won't find my ass in Mexico. Not because of immigration... or american business men shipping jobs over there... or NAFTA.... but, because I don't want to get kidnapped and i kinda like my head attached to my body.

Doesn't this shit only happen in the North of Mexico though? A friend of mine traveled south from Mexico City last year and had a great time.

I miss Mexico.... I haven't been down there in a few years now..... I love it! I've driven from tijuana all the way to Jalisco and have never had any issues.

I've traveled many times (sometimes alone) through Sonora(boarder town) and have never had any problems. I don't look like a local either. I've usually taken my car (with CA plates) and have never had any trouble.
It's all about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or people who are involved in shady business that get caught up in all those killings.

The general people are usually very welcoming and friendly.


I think I'd be more scared to drive through South Central then I would be to drive through a boarder town in Mexico....

Yeah, that's what I was saying.
They issued a travel advisory a while back for border towns.
I can understand if you don't want to go to Tijuana but I'm not going to stop vacationing in an entire country because of violence in one part.

You are correct. The problem areas are generally in the northern part of the country where the drug cartels are fighting each other over drug smuggling routes into the USA. Mayors, police chiefs, and prosecutors have been routinely murdered in these areas recently. The Reynosa, Nuevo Laredo, and Jaurez areas along the Texas border have been very bad for the last year or two and the violence has now even gone down to Monterrey. We're talking car bombings, grenade attacks on police stations, news paper and news stations being bombed, reporters being killed for no reason, daily and nightly gun battles in neigborhoods (these can even be found on youtube) It's BAD!
