Tucker Carlson did a bit tonight with some immigration advocate.
Tucker stated that Mexico is very violent, and why would anybody in their right mind desire free movement of people with such a nation.
We used to go to Mexico for a bike ride from Rosarito and Ensenada (only 50 miles but hilly).
The wives would meet us at Ensanada and we would head straight back, not hanging around Ensenada. The last year we did the race, we witnessed a truck with Mexicans, ram an American car with bikes on the back.
It was a flagrant, intentional act. All four of us said that was the end. We vowed to never set foot in Mexico again. we have kept that vow.
A BIL gott a manufactured home (also in Rosarito). Fixed it up and stayed with his family and kids for a few years (after my incident.) It made him angry when I questioned his judgment going down there.
Yet he too started having more and more trouble, with outright vandalism to his property. Not long after, they simply abandoned the home.
The local authorities do not have complete control. There are horrific stories, about auto collisions, whereby the Americans have to pay bribes to get help, to get medical help etc.
