I officially obtained my Mexican Residente Temporal today!
This is the next step after the tourist visa and it is the path to obtaining permanent residency.
I love Mexico and hope to spend much of every year here. It has inspired me greatly.
The people, the culture, the food, the language - all are becoming dearer to me.
The Residente Temporal will also give me some benefits. I am entitled to buy national or private health insurance, which is dirt cheap. I can buy and plate a car, and, if I choose, buy property.
It also allows me to come in and out of the country as many times as I please.
I learned a lot about the Mexican bureaucratic system as I did the work required to get this extended visa. Despite the problems within the government that are becoming more obvious to the rest of the world, the Immigration office works really well and I thank the men and women who helped me through this.
This is a very exciting time to be in Mexico. We sense that there may be another revolution growing. Hopefully it will be relatively peaceful and lead to an increased level of justice and safety within the country.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell people who might be interested.
<<<don't think so.

1. Congratulations!
Happy for you and send best wishes for all your plans. I lived in Baja and am scheming on a return, smile.

2. Come on down!
I'm in BCS right now and loving it. It's still hot, but getting better and the recovery from Odile has been amazing.

Maybe the mexicans will declare an amnesty for DUmp nuts.
-
Congratulations Cbayer! May you never end up in a pit of headless corpses. Or not. :whatever:
-
Doing her bit for the Mexican economy.

Isn't Baja more like a playground for U.S. citizens?

She thinks she is soooooo sophisticated, but she's really just another preacher's daughter, but of a real one, unlike LFR. Don't know what she's talking about, even naturalized citizens can't really own property in Mexico. :whatever:

Say that to the immigration guys, Threadslayer, and you'll be first in line on the list the death squads keep if any of that 'Exciting' shit ever comes to pass.

Her eccentric English husband must be loaded.
Anyway, among other things, today she admitted that there's only two feet of "walking space" in the kitchen on the boat, between one counter (or appliance) and the one opposite.
She and he are nuts.

I've heard from a trained historian how great Mexico is. The trained historian, originally from Mexico, sometimes compares Mexico's greatness to the alleged shortcomings of the US. Of course, the trained historian makes these comparisons from a residence in the US instead of Mexico.
I sometimes imagine someone asking the trained historian about leaving "the terrible" US and moving back to "the great" Mexico and hearing this reply from the trained historian: that be retardant. But that's just my imagination.

Yeah, Flipp. Funny how some other DUmmie has the praisesez for Ol' Mehico now that their resident specialist is off pouting at her "newspaper".

I wonder what it is about the shithole south of Texas that inspires the thread slayer.
Is it the raw sewage flowing across sidewalks?
Is it maybe the toilet paper clinging to every rock in every river and creek?
Could it be the headless bodies of competing drug gangsters stacked by the road?
Maybe it's the certainty that every piece of vegetable matter and every drop of tap water contains virulent bacteria and parasites.
Or could it be the grinding, suffocating, nearly universal poverty?
Or maybe the eye-stinging air and overwhelming crime of the cities?
I'm pretty sure the "mexico" that captivated the thread slayer is a marina where mexicans are kept out by gates, dogs, and armed guards.
Mexico would be a nice place, were it not for all the mexicans.

My guess is that her husband is gaslighting her by making things as idyllic as possible for her in Mexico. While she is absorbing the people, the culture, the food, and the language, he is sneaking off for frequent trysts with his hot young mamacita.

Bye. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. By the way, please do us a favor and never come back. One less DUmmie is always good for America.

No such luck. She will continue to vote and collect Social Security.

I have encountered none of those in mu probably 100+ visits to Mexico and I have been to some pretty small towns as well as DF, Mty, Guadalajara and other large cities. Are you speaking from 1st hand knowledge or spouting stereotypes?

Many, many times. DF, Cuernavaca, Acupulco, Monterrey, and a few others.
Some nice places to do business and play golf, but all are heavily guarded, and you have to be very careful about what you eat or drink.
If you're not careful, you'll spout a lot more than stereotypes.
It's pretty much like other places I've been in Central and South America - very Third World.
It's inconceivable to me that anyone would choose to live there, but cbayer is after all a DUmmy.

Pretty sure they can't vote either. Since she won't be a citizen, she has no right to free speech to criticize the Mexican government.
Immigrants to the US should be treated and meet the requirements that exist in the country they are coming here from.

She won't be able to vote there, but as long as she retains her US citizenship, she sure as hell will be voting here.

I disagree.
I think naturalized citizens should enjoy all the benefits of citizenship; American citizenship should be a great reward. Lawful non-citizens should enjoy equal protection under our criminal statutes, but none of the benefits of citizenship. Illegals should be bussed to the border and shot over the fence with air cannons. If the Mexican government is merciful, it will put up air bags or nets to catch them.

You must be visiting a different Mexico than he one I visit, especially Monterrey, which is pretty much like Los Angeles.
I am retiring there (I can buy beachfront property since my wife is a Mexican citizen). The cost of living is about 1/3 of here, even in the resort communities (if you stay out of the tourist traps).

Citizenship should be a reward, but not given to the unworthy. Too many of the ones that the Dems want to grant amnesty to are just dead weight or worse on the economy and offer no benefit to this country.
Almost every other country in the world has severe restrictions on who they let in.

I agree with you.
Your opinion on the air cannons?

I agree with you.

My take is they are ineffective as devices to cross the border.

What's their pressure rating? :whistling:
I'm more 'old-school' on that. A trebuchet should do the job nicely.

4, 40, or 400 psi. Whatever it takes.

Crossing the Rio Grande, southbound- the way it should be done.
I like the way you think. When I become Benevolent Dictator, I'll appoint you Czar of Border Sovereignty.

Please renounce your citizenship here so you can suck completely off of Mexico. This shit floors me. :thatsright:

Mexico at breaking point as anti-government anger escalates
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/20/mexico-protests-anti-government-anger-violence-students-president
Corruption and violence threaten to destabilise country after mass murder of students and scandal over presidential home
Over time the focus of the protests has moved from demands for the return of the students to spasms of disbelief in the government.
Mexico is facing an escalating political crisis amid growing fury over a mansion built for the presidential family and the disappearance and probable massacre of 43 student teachers.
The two apparently unrelated issues have fed the widespread perception that unbridled political corruption is the underlying cause of the country’s many problems – ranging from stunted economic growth to a breakdown of law and order that has left parts of the country at the mercy of murderous drug cartels.
“The drama of Mexico is about impunity,†said leading political commentator Jesús Silva-Herzog. “This is not about the popularity or unpopularity of the president, that is irrelevant. It is about credibility and trust and, at its root, it is about legitimacy.â€
Thousands of protestors are expected to join a mass demonstration planned for Thursday in Mexico City to protest over the disappearance of the students by municipal police in collusion with a local drug gang in the southern city of Iguala six weeks ago.

She probably got a warning from the cartels. Reporters are at the top of their hit list.

I suspect those 43 "student teachers" were like the "unarmed youths" in Ferguson or the "students" who invaded the American Embassy in Iran to take hostages.
Or maybe they worked for a different narcotrafficker than the police.
At least they didn't come here.
