well, all im saying is that from first hand experience i know this happens and yeah, if you offer more money they arent going to tell you its too much. i wouldnt. but alot of these folks use their jobs on the other side as a cover and are really mules. so 20 bucks extra for carrying some hormones across is not bad. little old ladies are notorious for taking shit across. whos gonna fuck with a poor old granny who is trying to scratch a living cleaning houses or working as a nanny on the other side? but these are the same ones taking heroin and coke across on a daily basis, and they do not get payed a whole lot. 500 bucks tops. for two keys. and really i feel stupid putting up that high of an amount. alot of times its much much less. especially for the ones that do it on a daily basis. hell, you can get some of these folks to take your shit across for 10 bucks. people in a third world country do not have a first world mentality. you have to realize this. do you know how much a mule makes for taking a shipment from southern mexico to the border? 1000 dollars. 10,000 pesos. the risk is big and its not too much cash for a truckload of heroin or coke. i wouldnt take such a chance for such little cash and neither would you. we agree on that. but alot of these folks feel they have nothing to lose. life is hard in mexico. young girls are disappearing everysingle day in places like juarez, nuevo laredo, and tijuana. this is a well known fact and has been happening for decades. but it happens everywhere along the border, not just in those three. there is just more media coverage of those three. prostitution is pampant, child pornography, rape, murder, even tourists are not safe. oh well, im starting to rave. i guess ive been here too long. living in mexico has really opened my eyes to a lot of shit bros. im not exaggerating either. i can tell you some stories if anyones interested. most of these i witnessed firsthand and some are stories i was told by folks who have seen alot more shit than me. i believe that was the original request on this thread. laters.
oh and no disrespect intended johnny b but the taste these folks get of the good old USA is not a very good one. who treats mexicans with dignity? especially the ones who cant speak english for shit. you think they dont realize they are the butt of most jokes. you think they dont get discriminated or sneered at every step of the way to work. you think they dress the way they dress because they find it fashionable to wear salvation army hand me downs? 20 bucks is not alot to you or me but to most of these folks it is quite a bit. thats almost a months rent if you live in a shitty one bedroom. in a shitty part of town thats what the rent costs. so dont let them charge you more because they will if you let them. and then they just see you as a fool. they will smile at the fool and take his money. maybe even point him out to the authorities for some extra cash on that end. you show you got money down here and you will get taken to the fuckin cleaners or jacked. 50 bucks is two weeks pay if you dont have a degree down here man. thats why everyone is doin something shady to make ends meet. and if they dont take your shit across for 10 or 20 bucks someone else will. its that simple.
