If a Mexican says the same thing about problems at customs at border on either side, and you are white and you repeat what he said you are a racist. I was coming back to Chihuahua from El Paso two days ago. The guy that went with me is Mexican with a visa. The aduanas on the Mexican side made up some incredible charges. They were going to take my car and put us both in my friend and I in jail after detaining us 5 hours in Juarez. My friend and the other detainees spoke about how corrupt the aduanas in Mexico are. Fortunately my friend is friends with the boss of the aduanas and lives in Chihuahua. He made a call that literally saved my life. I will be sure to not repeat the things they said as that would make me a racist. I am always nervous about crossing at customs about 20 miles into Mexico. You never know what they are going to make up or do to get money. Even if you are doing nothing wrong. Fortunately I live in Mexico and when I talk about the problems here it seems that everyone agrees and they even expound on the situation. They do not play the race card. It only seems that people on the American side use the race card the most. I was with a group of female school teachers here in Mexico the other day. One has a Tarrahumara Indian that cleans her house in Guachochi. She said you have to watch them closely as they will steal from you. They all agreed. Was that good advice or racist crap. Should I repeat that to a friend who is hiring a Tarrahumara to clean his house or let him learn the hard way. Yes I know the whole world has its problems, but here this is all news about problems in Mexico. So one cannot say what is obvious without someone turning everything into racism. Come down here and walk into some areas at night where the cholos hang out, and lets see how long you make it. I am guessing 10 minutes. I guess I need to have one of my Mexican friends speak for me, like a puppet so that makes me politically correct as it came from his lips. <br /><br />Another thing when it is a Mexican problem why is it always turned into the USA has problems too. Of course they do. But I go to CNN news to express my concerns in blogs there. Kind of like trying to gloss over the topic. <br /><br />I am having about 20 people coming to my house for the super bowl. Everyone will be Mexican. Since I live here and they know I have no racist motive, I will be able to express myself freely without being called a racist. If they start talking about problems in the USA, I can talk to them about that also and will not think of them as racists. <br /><br />Please do not feel sorry for me either as someone stated. I am happy and free to speak my mind and what I see here in Mexico. Most people will agree, or tell me different here without throwing out the race card.

You can tell a lot about people by what they say. Thank you for speaking up, you were refreshing. <br />To those who show up to Borderland Beat to dump negative frustration and blame others... <br />Please, do yourself a favor. Slow down. Take a deep breath. Just try... seeing things from someone elses point of view. Even if you are so sure that you are right. <br />What if you could admit that you didn't have it all figured out? Wouldn't that be freeing? None of us are capable of solving all the worlds problems by carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. <br />Life sometimes is short, but often longer than we expected! For those of us in safer parts of the world, we must remember to thank the creator. Our lives are not as complicated as they could be. <br />For those utterly exhausted and dejected by this war, for those who have lost loved ones, my prayers are with you. Peace to everyone in Mexico, the US, C.A., S.A., and the rest of the world.

The Binational Meeting was very productive and encouraging for all involved and I ask you to please join us in ending the so-called "war on drug" by spreading the word about Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad (Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity (MJPD) and Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (L.E.A.P.) which are working together to end the violence in Mexico and prohibition in the United States. Please share the links below with your friends. We have a lot of work to to to stop the violence, end prohibition, get justice for the many families whose loved ones have been disappeared or murdered, and to attain dignity for the people here in Mexico and those especially oppressed by the violence and the injustice system in the United States: the black community. It's time for a new paradigm in dealing with the drug problem. Prohibition has and is causing more deaths and violence than is the use and abuse of drugs, which is a public health and welfare issue, and the 40 year long "war on drugs" has come to a failed and bloody conclusion. It's time to end prohibition, and end the violence and injustice NOW! <br /><br />See: Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) - http://www.leap.cc/ <br /><br />See: LEAP Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/CopsSayLegalizeDrugs <br /><br />See: Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad (MPJD) - http://movimientoporlapaz.mx<br /><br />See: MPJD Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Movimiento-por-la-Paz-con-Justicia-y-Dignidad/124809987605763<br /><br />See: Summer of Justice (SOJ) Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/makethedreamareality <br /><br />See: SOJ Philosophy and Plan of Action - http://ajmacdonaldjr.wordpress.com/philosophy-and-plan-of-action-summer-of-justice-2012-dc/ <br /><br />See: Verano de Justicia Filosofia y Plan de Accion - http://ajmacdonaldjr.wordpress.com/el-verano-de-justicia-2012-dc/<br /><br />VIDEO - MSNBC Rachel Maddow Show - Legalizing Marijuana What's Next?

Here in Mexico I am stopped all the time at revisions and they check all my paperwork. I get pulled over just about every time. I do not think of it as racial profiling. I call it doing their jobs.

They recruit from within there own ethnicity. Again if you look it up and study it on the internet you will see for yourself. Yes other ethnicity are corrupt for other things. But this is something that is happening and not hard to see. Now if you live in Mexico all the Mexicans say the government is corrupt and also do not trust anyone on the open road. that does not make them racist. That makes them want to be safe.

I haven't done the research, but I would like to see what the mix is on the Canadian border, for example. In other words, of those 52% Hispanics who make up the agency, according to the 2:26 pm comment, what are the percentages actually assigned to the southern versus the northern borders. If despite the mix, the vast majority of the agents assigned to the U.S.-Mexico border are Hispanic, it is no surprise that most of the bad apples caught are likewise Hispanic. <br />Statistics are tricky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-81612921106421989282013-02-01T20:03:23.523-07:002013-02-01T20:03:23.523-07:00You are a moron for thinking that way.

I also looked up arrests for border agents that smuggled guns into Mexico and people and drugs into the USA. Also caught assisting the cartels. I swear I could not find one that was not Hispanic. The problem is a lot of these people are converted Mexicans to USA citizenship. Also many are Hispanic Americans born in the USA. I just read in the El Paso times about a man that was loading the pot onto his car and a woman who had been aiding the cartels for a long time. The sad part is that many of these people have family ties to criminals and drug cartels in the USA. If you were a Mexican criminal would you try do do business with someone by the name of Smith or Gonzalez. Also could threaten the agents families in Mexico if they did not play ball. Why would they not balance it out so that it was equal across the board to as to the percentage of ethnic diversity in the USA. It seems like everyone screams discrimination when one ethnic group is not represented well in a business. So why not in the border patrol. I believe that less people would be lured into the business because they have no ties to Mexico. If it was not true then most being arrested would not be Hispanic. What are your thoughts? I know a Hispanic agent brought down the woman agent. But look who she went to for help. Another agent with a Hispanic name. Do not call me racist as I live in Mexico and my wife is Mexican as well as all of my friends. This is just something that is true and worth talking about. One corrupt agent can do a lot of damage.
