I am afraid, with good reason, of going back to a neighborhood I lived in for 30 years. When people are born into a world where selling dope is the only way to make a living, we're in trouble.*****
People from Mexico and other Central American countries go through danger and degradation to make it into this country. If they travel up through Mexico they are treated like crap by the Mexican police and government. They get caught by the U.S. Border patrol most times and are sent back, then they go through the whole thing again. Finally they make it across, and if the survive the Deserts of Arizona and New Mexico they have a good chance of making to family and friends in the USA.
If they make it, to say, Baltimore, on a Friday, they are on the JOB Monday morning.
If they are Korean or Chinese, they may clean the toilets at the local airport, but their children go to Harvard.
So stop boring everyone with that 'woe is us' BS. They sell drugs because it's easy to do. And going to jail is just like a family reunion.
The guy in the Philippines has the right idea.
Cheers
