So that explains why no Mexican owns Arizona property within 50km of a
coastline.

I don't care to be high either - but we are the exception. Most
people and other animals enjoy being high.

But I also don't care for crime syndicates making things dangerous and
expensive for me and mine. I don't care for spending money for
prisons holding drug users. I want our police working more
efficiently against other crimes. I want poor people to figure out
they have a better future getting a job than hanging around with
criminals. I don't care for my government controlling more and more
of my life.

If your chances of making the crossing are 50/50 are you going to make
the attempt?

I did get paid what I thought was a decent wage at the time. I can
honestly say that I learned more in the NYPD than I did in the 21
years (22 if you count the School of Visual Arts) I was in school.

No, the subject was why the difference in immigration laws between
Mexico and the USA why not reciprocity.

Let's get back to discussing the actual topic.
