Just remember not to drink the water. Alcohol should cleanse it, so just use your food stamps to buy tequila. It makes driving much more fun!

The bottled water should be fine. Heck, half the people in the USA don't drink tap water any more.

Since I gather that you're not too keen on learning Spanish, you should probably be able to get a job as a waiter in one of the beach resorts that caters to American tourists. Some of the tourists tip rather well, and share your aversion for learning Spanish.

Perhaps that's because you forgot the bit where you and each member of your family agree to create economic activity.

Propaganda masquerading as satire is sometimes recognized for what it is.

I'm sure he has a lot on his hands.

What could be more important than making love to a computer. :P

Love it - just wish all government officials could read it.

Mexico is great I´ve been to Mexico City, Cancún and other city that I forgot the name. There are many of historical sites to visit. The funny thing was that as a speaker of Portuguese I could understand what they were saying but they could´t understand my Portuguese! :lol:

I wonder if people in Mexico are as wide-eyed about the USA as people in the USA are about Mexico?

Well, enjoy living the Mexican dream!

I think they call it "La Vida Loca!"

You forgot number 19.

19. I will always ride bicycles on the wrong side of the road to ensure that I get hit by drivers making right turns.

Maybe nobody replied because it's unoriginal, nationalist, sewage-rhetoric that I've seen (unattributed, on the now defunct "American Conservative Youth Union" website) as early as 2007.

But it goes back at least a year earlier than that.

Quote:
Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and dont enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

What do the forum rules have to say about plagiarism?

Actually, I think that we have much more to fear from Canadians walking freely in our midst than we do from Mexicans.

Canadians are mostly White, most speak English, and most can pick up the American accent pretty easily.

If Arizona only targets brown people to ask for identity papers, and lets off white people, then a lot of Canadians who have snuck across the border to take our jobs will get off scott free.
