We witnessed an amazing sight last night.
We had gone to Victoria, about 30 miles down Hwy 59 from us. I don't know far it goes north, but it goes straight to Mexico from here.
The trip south was a regular, normal drive. Kind of heavy traffic, but Friday evening, the last weekend before Christmas- I just figured it was Christmas shoppers.
We had a delicious seafood dinner, by the way. The first time we have eaten out in a long time.....
Back to my tale.
On the way home, about 10:00pm, we saw the most amazing sight.
The southbound lanes were bumper to bumper traffic. We are flat land here, and it was headlights as far as you could see. Never a lull in traffic, never a little space where maybe a vehicle could jump in line. It continued for the entire 30 miles that we travel Hwy 59, until we turn off on our little FM road to home. I can only imagine how far north it started.
Sounds silly? Well, not to me. Those cars were rushing home for the holidays. Headed home- TO MEXICO!
It was frightening. Have we allowed all those polititions to give our country away?
Honestly, when I hear 'But they do the work nobody else will do...' I cringe.
Who did those jobs before the illegals came to claim them?
It seems to me that we did our own dirty work back then.

I know exactly what you are talking about. My cousin told me once that most Hispanic' birthdays are in September. (so is mine) She said most of them go home at Christmas and the babies are born 9 months later. I don't know if she was joking or being serious. There are a lot of people here that are Hispanic. Most of the ones we know are very nice people.
They are simply being insourced for the jobs that businesses can't outsource ... the corporations have given our country away, with a nod and a wink from the politicos :(
There is a price to be paid for cheap goods from stores like Wal ...
I have tried to figure what really frightened me so badly on Friday. I can only compare the feeling to the one I had when finally I saw the snake in the flowerbed I had just weeded.
Instead of being frightened :) ask yourself how many people in those cars are crossing back into the states after the holiday ??
That is just as frightening. They will all come back, many will bring mother, sister, brother, friend.
