Or I can move and leave this s#*thole behind, which is what I'm going to do. It's all yours.

Take away cheap immigrant labor and our economy would take a major hit.
Our economy is taking a hit BECAUSE of the cheap illegal labor.

Then what's stopping you? Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

But to quote my grandmother, "wherever you go there you are" - so keep that in mind, if you think moving will solve all of your issues. I have a feeling you could move just about anywhere, and still find something to complain about once you arrived.

Nothing's stopping me, that would be why I'm moving genius.

And you think you know me that well through a few posts on a forum? You know that I think that moving will solve ALL my problems? I'm still going to complain no matter where I go? Where were you a couple of nights ago before the $640 million lottery Miss Cleo? Don't assume so much, you don't know s#*t. If I don't want to feel like I live in Mexico, then I move out of Mexico. It's that simple.

Calif did not "belong" to the spaniards or mexicans. they conquered it from the native americans that lived there and the greedy whites took it from the mexicans. such is the history of the world and our countries.

Cancun, on the other hand, is basically just a tourist trap for dumb foreigners (mostly Americans) who are afraid to go anywhere else in Mexico.

For the record, I only went there because it was a stop on a cruise... we also went to Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and a few other MUCH nicer places along the coast. I literally spent like 2-3 hours on land in Cancun, before deciding I'd have more fun staying on the boat all night.
^^^Yes. btdt.
