Closing out this old post…. Just got a message from my long time chica friend. She made her way across the border back in April 2022.. paid a coyote. When she got here, she looked the old guy up and found he died around 2011. I read the guy’s obituary, shortest obituary I’ve ever seen, John Doe died ### in Salem, Or. Survived by son J Doe Jr, and Mary Doe. He was a world traveler.
Another surprise… she didn’t ask me for help or anything, just dropped a line to say hi. She jumped the border with her boyfriend/daddy to her Babi*s.
It was cool to hear and see how the mass illegal immigration works, she explained the whole experience. FYI, yes… the border is wide open.
Fascinating story, I was looking for a happier ending, old guy multi-millionaire, feeling guilty, left half his estate to young ex-wife in Nicaragua, lawyers about to give up finding her and distribute to adult Ch*ldren, and she appears and claims 5 million...
Might have made a cool movie...
I have one of my faves I was trying different ways to get a visa for, work visa for my corp, personal assistant, medical aid, nope, USA is super strict when you try to do it legally.
I joked I would fly to Mexico with her and hit a border town and both walk over together, see if she could then qualify for a swank hotel room in NYC and a free cell phone and other benefits and we could hit the town, party down on the guv'mint dollah, return to Texas, cross back over to Mexico and spend some time in Cancun before headed back to Costa Rica, lol...
