Mexico Builds Border Wall To Keep Out US Assholes

(Via Roberto Lovato, who is writing stuff you should be reading about the recent coup in Honduras and continuing U.S. military aid to an anti-democratic government.)

Do Mexicans officially need a visa to enter the US ? Then how can so many US visitors crowd the northern Mexican resorts if they would need a proper visa in a reciprocity agreement unless Mexico needs the "greenback" desperately? I think the economy consisting of selling plastic dolls and mind altering substances is hardly an economy worth supporting unless some very deep pockets encourage it... There are countries in this world where you need to book and pay a certain amount for accommodation and other services in your home country against coupons before your stay in order to keep out hooligans ! Isn't California free and easy enough to support its own holiday tourists and Hawaii within reach or do US tourists lose all perspective and ethics when crossing the borders ???

LMAO!!!!!
That is hilarious! Really great if you speak/understand Spanish and can watch the video while listening to what they say, instead of just looking at the words! I loved it! I am going to send to all mi familia in Mexico, they will have a laugh.
