Americans Fleeing To Mexico Looking For A Better Life
http://www.unconfirmedsources.com/index.php?itemid=3702



A group of young, former Lehman Bros. executives make plans to cross the border into Mexico.



Faced with seemingly insurmountable financial and personal hurdles, Americans have been streaming across the border into Mexico in the hopes of finding a better quality of life.

Mexican border patrol agents have abandoned searching for Mexicans crossing into the US and are now focused on Americans crossing into Mexico.

One American who was caught crossing the border was former Lehman Bros. Financier Ralph Goldman. "I just want a better life for my wife and kids", Goldman tearfully explained to the Mexican border patrol agent. "All the money and jobs have come here. The weather is nicer. Houses are cheaper. The banks haven't failed. I could have a life here".

6. I've considered it... seriously.
I live in South Central Texas, Mexico is a short road trip.. by Texas standards. I like Mexico. I like the people, I like the culture. Apparently, I'm not alone.

Peace,
