run for the border! wait, where are you going?

i am not likening latin folk to rodents here…

…if for other reason than the pain that would befall me at the hands of the latina non-girlfriend for doing so.

but never mind that now…what do rats do to a sinking ship? exactly…

there’s an odd trend that started in texas but is spreading elsewhere. mexican nationals are running for the border in droves…just not the direction you’re probably thinking. it seems the land of oppurtunity is now the land of the suck-ass economy and four buck a gallon gas…and they ain’t happy about that. so they’re heading back. a lot of them.

the media calls it “a trend”.

either way, it can’t be a good sign. i’ve never been to mexico. i’ve read about it. i’ve seen it from a hotel window in mcallen. i’ve seen it on tv and in the movies. i’ve heard women do strange things to donkeys there. but with my tendency to be loud and obnoxious i have been told my journey from tourist to prisoner could be a brief one and i am not looking to kill a man just ’cause he wants me to be his “senorita” and i’m not down with that. so, i’ve avoided mexico. but from what i’ve been told, we have it better here…

…or HAD it better.

with this exodus, it kinda makes you wonder. so let’s work at this country, and try to get it back to somewhere people want to come to illegally…who’s with me?
