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.

I guess those people carrying Mexican flags and marching through the streets
of American cities a while back must have been Republicans, eh?

Yeah, that's really likely. Did you know that Hispanics outnumber Blacks
now in this country?

It is... they tend to be very conservative, at least the older latinos.

Why do I care if latinos outnumber blacks?
