    Why is our Border wide open ?

    While this article is true, it is very misleading. I'm a veteran and would love to see our military get paid more. If someone were an E-3 with a familty, stationed at Fort Hamilton New York (since New York is where the article said the "illegal aliens" were), this is what they would be paid each...

    Sure quiet here on the forum.

    I agree...I was shocked when we came back across with how few cars there were.

    Sure quiet here on the forum.

    We made a round trip up to Phx and back this past Sunday. Very few cars on the way out. We came back across the border about 4 and I'd guess about 30-40 cars in line coming back into the US.

    Here are two additional sources that says it is true... I cannot verify they are accurate but it certainly is being reported https://www.michellerivera.com.mx/2024/02/29/ejecutan-e-incineran-a-ex-comisario-de-plutarco-elias-calles-sonora/...

    Considering cancelling my future plans to visit.

    We went to Pane e. Vino tonight for their weekly pizza special and they were so full people were having to park way down along the road. Maybe things are starting to get back to normal?

    Gas Prices

    I was shocked got regular for 2.86 at Costco in Buckeye in Sunday. Gas in Sonoyta was over $4.00 per gallon using their posted exchage rate of 16.6/1

    Considering cancelling my future plans to visit.

    We live in Penasco and traveled up to Az Saturday and home here on Sunday. We didn’t see anything at all unusual. We were particularly mindful in Sonoyta but again, nothing seemed at all different than any other trip. At the border there were no obvious migrants and when I asked the border...

    2024 Mexico Property Taxes

    In Jan it is 25% in Feb 20% and I think March is 10%. You can pay your property taxes on line. If you directly live on the beach you have to pay your Federal Zone fees in person.

    Google shows the route to Playa LaJolla as going right past my house…. that’s not right. I cannot tell you how many people I have pulled out of the sand.

    Why is our Border wide open ?

    My personal politics tend to be "middle of the road". It has always amazed me how people from one party will say leaders in the other party are all stupid, idiots, incompetent, and have no idea how to get anything done etc etc. Then they turn around and accuse those very same people of coming up...

    Homicide in Encanto

    I live within sight of this house. I have spoken with a number of the people investigating. The short summary is that the conclusion the state and local police are operating under is that this was a planned crime by someone who knew her.There is no evidence of anything being taken, not even...
