Just want to see if this will work.
I recieved this email from a friend.
The following from a director with S/W BELL in Mexico City.
I spent five years working in Mexico. I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval.
During that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the same except hers did not permit her to work.
To apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my:
1. Birth certificates for Barbara and me.
2. Marriage certificate.
3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.
4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation.
5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.
6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indicating I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing."
7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on earth" letter. It was fun to write. All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on the right.
Once they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican attorney touring Mexican government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location (and we remember at least four locations) we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the government's actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid.
We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law.
We were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back.
We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. I was about twenty legal size pages annually.
The FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees.
Leaving the country meant turning in the FM# and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs.
It was a real adventure and If any of our senators or congressmen went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico.
The Mexican Government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their White House or government offices but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy. The US embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican Military surround the block with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on US or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California or Texas.
Please feel free to share this with everyone who thinks we are being "hard" on illegal immigrants.

It's good to hear from you, also.
We have had some great times. I have a few remind me of our dinner on Shelter Island. All of our lives have changed over the past few years.
How's your daughter?
Ernie,
I agree with you, It's my money and I will do what I choose to do with it. However, I was thinking about selling some at .35 then I found out it was not the real price. It was all an error. The Lord wanted me to wait. So I will wait until it goes higher.

abe. That is a good one.
Thank You for your continued words of wisdom.
Time will tell. There have been many stories about him moving them to another country this past year.
I saw him on Fox News last night.
I am concerned about his safety.
GrooveMaster.........Thank You, for posting the showa.
I enjoyed that.
That's cute Susie924!!!
iamshazzam, is a very good guy and street smart.
Interesting
I was ask to invest in a company that looked for land for Wal-Mark' stores. That was in 1987.
Sam Walton would sit at the front door and welcome people as they came into the store. He was a great person.
(I didn't invest.)
He also said he wanted Hilary Clinton as his First Board of Director's.
Her fee would be $20,000.00 for each Board of Directors Meeting and it did not matter whether she attended the meeting or not. She accepted the offer.
And we now see the difference in wages.
The Walton family are very generous people. A friend of my brother and Sam Walton's sister are in the same home for the elderly and she takes all the people in the home on a trip each year and pays for the trip. So I have been told.
427Cobra', That's cute!!!
I can relate to that, I have a Dell computer and every time I call to get help I get some one I can't understand.
Happy New Year to All.
You are right it was a public message. However I got it on my private page. I was in a hurry and did not pay attention.
We are all sinners!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You!
I appreciate your private message.
I agree with you.
We should at least have compassion for our fellow man or women.
I don't hate the man. I can't say I hate anyone.
I believe that to hate another person causes you to hate yourself. Maybe you should look within.
I have a cousin that worked for Hilary. So perhaps I know more about the Clinton's than you do.
But you hate Bush.
You have no SHAME......
I PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE CHILDREN TO CONTINUE YOUR WAY OF THINKING.
Hate will destroy your soul.
Hillary engages Clinton double act for White House
By Philip Sherwell
(Filed: 27/11/2005)
Hillary Clinton has enlisted her husband to attack the White House over Iraq in an attempt to shore up her sliding support among Democrat activists.
The New York senator, who is expected to run for the White House in 2008, has been alarmed by a drop in her opinion polls ratings as she pays the political price for backing President George W Bush's decision to topple Saddam Hussein.
Bill and Hillary Clinton: Past and future leaders?
Her hawkish stance was originally a useful way to shed her liberal reputation, but has become an increasing political liability as America's mood has swung against the war.
Anxious that criticising the way the occupation has been handled could expose to the accusations of "flip-flopping" - a charge that cost John Kerry when he ran against President Bush last year - she is leaving the task to her husband. As political positioning for the 2008 polls begins, it will be him, not her, who placates the Democratic Left with attacks on Mr Bush's Iraq policy.
The new double act is being seen as a variation of President Clinton's old "triangulation" strategy, where he positioned himself between Democrats and Republicans, that helped win his second term in the White House in 1996. Political observers believe that the Clintons are now engaged in 'triangulation" over Iraq.
Dick Morris, the political strategist who masterminded President Clinton's re-election but is now an outspoken critic of Sen Clinton, said: "Bill and Hillary are playing a pas-de-deux in satisfying both the Left and the Centre of the Democratic Party.
"For the first time in their careers, they can really be all things to all people - Hillary, a hawk voting for the war; Bill, a dove blasting the decision to wage it. Should the elections in Iraq really turn the corner and give that nation a working democracy and America a way out of Baghdad, Hillary can always say she was there from the beginning. But should the casualties only mount, she can join Bill on his Leftist perch."
But Mickey Kaus, a leading conservative Internet blogger, predicted that any attempt by the pair to equivocate over Iraq would backfire. "The new trick won't work," he wrote.
Sen Clinton's dilemma shows that both Democrats and Republicans are suffering angst over the invasion, as US troop casualties pass the 2,000 mark and calls escalate for a prompt withdrawal.
Very good quote, Abe.
BNB, That's funny.
Perhaps you are the one that needs to get over it.
Read the truth and see the truth.
So, What Clinton said about the WMD's was wrong, and Bush is wrong for believing Clinton's and the UN. OK
At least Bush is wise enough to know he can't leave the troops high and dry like Clinton did. All Clinton had on his mind, was who and when he could he could rape and molest.
How about Clinton's last minute's pardon for Mark Rich. And all the money his wife donated to the Clinton's. And now we are hearing Mark Rish has a roll in the Oil for Food. Thanks to the Clinton's
Clinton destroyed our military.

Right or wrong it is not your right to tell us what to do with our money. We don't tell you.
What I do not understand why bashers can take over the message board with their nonsence. It is a total waste of their time.
Get a life.
Grub, the fact some of us are positive about the company. Why shouldn't we have to right to post positive information with out all the stuff from people who are not invested in the company.
This is not fair.
That's good. We should all remember that poor girl.
This oughta upset everybody:
How they vote in the United Nations:
Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic
States which are recorded in both the US State Department and
United Nations records:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.
U S Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against
the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States
and rec eives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States
receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
India votes 81% against the United States
receives $143,699,000 annually.
Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the
American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes (and gasoline).
Pass this along to every taxpaying citizen you know. And send to your congressman, who should be disgraced but couldn't care less.
Cotton Ginner, would you explained the date on thelink you referred us to? I didn't know we had message boards and yahoo in 1969.

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners.
At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."
Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? They still are! "A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17
