Actually close the border? I don't think so.

Well, maybe for an hour or two.

The folks who back Daffy Donald are heavily invested in international trade. He wouldn't dare bite the hand that wanks him!

Offhand, I would say only US Citizens would be allowed in if the border was closed. American citizens have a right to return to the USA; others don't. If the border is "closed" possibly the long line wait to return would be much shorter since non-us citizens would not be allowed to enter and they wouldn't bother driving or walking to the port of entry since they know they will be turned around and sent back despite having a visa. The problem is whether Mexico would retaliate by closing its border to Americans.

So there is a risk of getting stuck in Tijuana if you travel next week? Are they stopping US Citizens and tourists with visa to get back to US?

The Mexican peso has tumbled to session lows as traders have slowly come to the conclusion that Trump might be serious about shuttering the border next week to try and send a message to the Mexican government. After tweeting the threat earlier today, Trump said Friday afternoon that he might keep the border closed for a long time.

Link https://www.thelocal.es/20190326/sor...olonial-abuses Sorry not sorry: Spain rejects Mexico's demand for apology for colonial abuses.

The 500-year-old wounds of the Spanish conquest were ripped open afresh on Monday when Mexico's president urged Spain and the Vatican to apologize for their "abuses" -- a request Madrid said it "firmly rejects. ".

Spain's centuries of dominance in the New World, backed by the Catholic Church, leapt from the history books to the headlines when Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called on Spanish King Felipe VI and Pope Francis to apologize for the conquest and the rights violations committed in its aftermath.

"I have sent a letter to the king of Spain and another to the pope, calling for a full account of the abuses and urging them to apologize to the indigenous peoples (of Mexico) for the violations of what we now call their human rights," Lopez Obrador said.

He made the remarks in a video, filmed at the ruins of the indigenous city of Comalcalco and posted on Facebook and Twitter.

"There were massacres and oppression. The so-called conquest was waged with the sword and the cross. They built their churches on top of the (indigenous) temples," added the anti-establishment leftist.

"The time has come to reconcile. But let us ask forgiveness first. " Spain's rejection was immediate and blunt.

"The government of Spain deeply regrets that the letter the Mexican president sent to his majesty the king, whose contents we firmly reject, has been made public," it said in a statement.

"The arrival, 500 years ago, of Spaniards to present Mexican territory cannot be judged in the light of contemporary considerations," it said.

"Our two brother nations have always known how to read our shared past without anger and with a constructive perspective. ".

300-year reign.

Lopez Obrador made the remarks during a visit to the Mayan pyramids of Comalcalco, in his native Tabasco state, in southern Mexico.

He later visited the nearby city of Centla, the scene of the first battle between Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and the indigenous peoples of the land now known as Mexico, on March 14,1519.

With the help of horses, swords, guns and smallpox -- all unknown in the New World at the time -- Cortes led an army of fewer than 1,000 men to defeat the Aztec empire, the start of 300 years of Spanish rule over Mexico.

The abuses continued until independence from Spain in 1821, and beyond, Lopez Obrador said.

"Thousands of people were murdered during this period. One culture and civilization imposed itself on another," he said later in a speech.

"There are still open wounds. It's better to recognize that abuses were committed, and mistakes were made. It's better to ask forgiveness and seek to be brothers in a historic reconciliation. ".

He added that he, too, planned to offer an apology, "because the repression of indigenous peoples continued after the colonial period. ".

It's complicated.

Mexico has a complicated relationship with its colonial past.

Its history, culture, food and the Mexican people themselves are the product of "mestizaje," the mixing of the Old and New Worlds.

According to a government study, 98 percent of Mexicans have some combination of indigenous, European and African ancestry.

But although that mixture made modern Mexico -- and gave the world the gifts of chocolate, tacos de carnitas and Day of the Dead -- it is also a past tainted by violence, [CodeWord123] and oppression.

Lopez Obrador, 65, took office in December after a landslide election win that represented a firm break with Mexico's traditional political parties.

A folksy populist, he pulls no punches in going after traditional elites, and has sought to cast himself as a champion of Mexico's indigenous peoples.

But he had so far cultivated cordial relations with Spain and the Vatican, including during a visit to Mexico City by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez earlier this year.

Sanchez, a fellow leftist, marked the occasion by presenting the Mexican president with his grandfather Jose Obrador's Spanish birth certificate, from 1893.

Come on man! 81% of Mexicans are Catholic.

That's the problem! In Costa Rica they were all home with their families. Most businesses including restaurants were closed on Good Friday and Easter Day. I ate at a KFC in San Jose! Ugh. I'm guessing Tijuana won't be as bad, but I am a bit nervous. Oh well, the ones who are there will be willing to work!

[DrMcNaughty]

Come on man! 81% of Mexicans are Catholic. You will still find some stanky stank. Not like going at Christmas. Happy Easter sinning!

How is Easter weekend? One of the lamest weekends I ever spent in San Jose, Costa Rica was over Easter, so am hoping this won't be the case in Tijuana. I'll be there between April 20-23.

[Zhagolo52]

Hello all, I have a couple girls in HK and a civilian that want to do swinger stuff outside, I truthfully have no idea where to even start looking. Anybody could point me in the right directions would be amazing.

Thanks in advance.

It's not a dumb question. Cascadas will allow it, but very few escorts will go to Cascadas. As far as I know, the only agency that will send girls to the Zona at all is Queens (http://queenstj.com/) and maybe not even all of them will. Maybe some independents will go to Cascadas, but I wouldn't count on it.

If you are more interested in escorts than bar girls, get a regular hotel (I like the Ticuan) for your escort dates and then just use Cascadas for short time arribas with bar girls. The advantage there is that you are free to go to Adelitas or Chicago or wherever. If you had a room at Cascadas you might be reluctant to try the other clubs. I prefer to stay a couple of nights at Cascadas and a couple of nights at the Ticuan.

Foxy's Escorts will also service Hotel Cascadas.

I can't find the previous post where some monger declared that chicas en la zona like fat guys. First of all, that is completely false. They like the money but absolutely hate having some fat, out of shape loser panting over them. Same as a monger selecting a fat out of shape puta to go arriba. Ridiculous.

Fat doesn't necessarily mean out of shape, and it definitely doesn't necessarily mean loser in every culture around the world. Look back at Renaissance art, fatness was considered attractive. My experience traveling to 50+ countries globally tells me that in general, in poorer countries the women care less about if a man's overweight. At least it shows he has the $$ to feed himself. Same effect in Tijuana IMO.

What I'm saying is, puta or civvie, a chubby American guy will do better in Tijuana than SD I believe.

And as for the comparison to bros liking an ugly puta. Look around this board at some of the putas that get discussed most often LOL.

Sorry the dumb question, but I'm going to be staying at Cascadas for the first time and was seeing if they allow outside escorts in your room. Thanks.
