That wouldn't be a bit surprising that among the deported families and individuals there would be a lot of deported people right from the jails. But I would imagine that there a lot of deported families that do not have a criminal background, except for being stopped for a traffic violation and...

I object to your name calling "liberals". Ignorance is an issue that affects people of all political persuasions. Thank you!

http://www.swans.com/library/art16/keeley03.html There is an indepth article here on the effect of deported Mexicans on border towns. If anyone wants to read this, I would love to hear how this issue affects Puerto Penasco. If it does, what is happening in PP to deal with the issue?

I guess the moral of the story is to slow down and be attentive. You can't imagine how much this applies to me also. We are so excited about life that it is hard to slow down and be attentive. Excuse my platitudes, its just that I see we have lots in common.

I also would like to be there right now.

Whether we are seniors or not seniors.

Well that gives us all a good lesson on what not to do? Thank you for posting it.

Also people are storing old sewing machines that people can use. Has anyone started a drive to bring used and old sewing machines to Puerto Penasco? The old Singers can almost always be fixed. I had one that I did not take south of the border, I almost threw it in the dump, it looked so bad off...

Great idea. You would not believe how much unused quilting materials, unused materials, yarns, etc. people have in their houses that they will never use and could get someone producing something that they might be able to sell. Can you tell me a little about the Senior Center and the Community...

Yes, all production of useful and attractive items out of recyclables is very salable. The cooperative women make crochet grocery bag purses, and rag rugs out of donated clothes and pieces of material. I have heard also of the rugs made from the strips made from the grocery bags. There is so...

You are lucky in Buckeye that it was only $35 fine, in Bayard, NM that we drive through, it is $75 fine to be in a car without a seatbelt.

We have a weaver here in Silver City who dyes with cochineal. We all want to learn how to use natural dyes. Do you know if anyone in PP has sheep, and sheep for wool? Does anyone know who is weaving there?

Oh Darn, I forgot to mention that we also work with women weavers on the U.S. side. We were able to set up a weaving studeo for the Columbus side. More money available on this side of the border.

You are my kind of person! Yes, now right now our web site is really in bad shape and we are not selling on it. But we are working now to get it updated and selling. Let me list some of the things that the ladies make, rag baskets (big hit and really beautiful), rag rugs, purses of all kinds...

Yes, these purses can be magnificent. The vendor's father had made 4 new purses the last day I was there in RP or PP, and I bought three of them. I like to encourage this type of artisanry of using recyclables. I will pm you with the details of who they are. I will also write to the ladies in...

You get the biggest chuckles out of me. My husband asks me what in the world am I doing on the computer to laugh so hard. Your heart is so in the right place, girl. Thank you. I will PM you as to who they are.

Hi there, I am always looking for ways to help people make a living. For any of you that are going down, I met a couple that sells by the coffee shop on the Malecon by Mary's, maybe I shouldn't mention names, but they are easy to find. The father of the husband in the couple makes chip bag...

I was in a border town, south of the border, this winter and the police stopped me. I was confused because I knew there was no reason to stop me. I rolled down my dark driver's side window. The policeman asked me a few questions about where I was from and where I was going. Then informed me...

Dmcauley, Would you tell us what is the history of Mexican citizens of the ejidos losing their land to development companies?

Wow, Jerry, is the coastal hwy paved to within 15 miles to Puerto Libertad? That is awesome if it is paved? And great even if it is dirt road. Can you describe the road conditions for us? And "facilities"?
