I grow my own, and my family have been farmers for 100 years so I get the rest from them, they are now fully automated, which should be the case. Someday others will catch on.

How happy would you be living with 10 other people in an 1 bedroom apartment? You think these people are happy?

I lived in Phoenix, they sure looked happy, drinking their coronas and playing their music and having fiestas nightly. Didnt seem to sad to me. They drove a new navigator as well and yelled lovely sexual sayings at me!!( yes I understand spanish) It is how they live in Mexico, it is ok and quite normal to live with your extended family. Me I would kill someone.

In every culture there are "trash", it comes with white people too. Sorry that happened to you, but I don't think it is the norm. You are greatly trying to generalize all mexicans.

Actually, I never called them trash more of an unwillingness to treat us with respect and consider our feelings and traditions. And there this was the norm, as it is here and in DC where I lived and in Oregon where I was born. Because I am what I guess you would call "attractive" I get it all the time, especially when I am on the jobsite. Yes it is mostly hispanic that do it, the "white guys" are much more tackfull in their approach. Much to my husbands displeasure.
I have many many many hispanic friends, all legal that were either born here or came over legally years ago. I know what they are like they treat me with respect as I do them. I have joined many fiestas and had a good time.

Too bad, my wife and I went to Ensenada a month ago..had a wonderful time and were treated with great respect.
You can buy a house for 300k on the beach there; golf course, gated, 85 degrees year around, rent it and make a killing.
Instead of boycotting Mexico, I will buy property there and make money off of them  .

I have read and been told that Americans cannot own property there.
And I have been to Mexico twice, both horrible experiences, but not because of the people.
