Did I mention we were boarded by the Mexican Navy while in Baja... very
interesting experience. They came along side with a skiff... eight
sailors (all toting M-16s or similar) and the officer with a sidearm.
Very professional. We were the only boat in sight... with Moorings
plastered all over, so it was pretty obvious we were charterers. The
officer and one crew came aboard, while the others stayed on the skiff.

The officer asked to see the boat documentation, but was mostly
interested in the fishing permits (up-to-date) courtesy of the
Moorings. His English wasn't that great, but basically they were
looking for poachers. After several attempts he accepted some water for
himself and his crew... damn hot day.

If the US Navy boarded a boatload of Mexicans, it would be considered
racism.



By whom?


Democrats, the left wing, secular-progressives, Hispanics. Of course
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton wouldn't care a whit about Mexicans.
