The article is 2 years old and the new president could make things better.

If anything, it's gotten worse.

And I seriously doubt that a new president could make a difference.

But one could always hope.

At any rate, feel free to organize a day trip to Juarez.

I will take the word of someone who worked for a Mexican company for (how many years was it?) quite a while.

Here are photographs of those who attended the original Who Will Be The Next FlyerTalk Member To Post? An OMNI Game LIVE and In Person:ELP DO in 2006, which included a trip to Ciudad Juárez.

The main photograph is of all of us on one of the many opulent staircases located inside The Mansion™.

It was at the executive lounge at the Marriott hotel property here where Cholula first suggested that I earn a Master of Business Administration degree.

Most of us do know better than to take your advice on anything but food.

Isn't there a better place to watch the game than the Mansion in ELP? The home theater alone seats 200 guests.

Why wouldn't you want to go there?
First, you don't get a stamp, unless you are applying for an FM3 or FMN, and I don't think you are going to apply for work in Mexico

But this is the reason why

Murder Capital of the World

There were 1,200 murders in 2010, and 1,000 in 2011

I avoid the place at all costs

If it does, it may take months or years before anything happens, and he is elect president, he hasn't taken office yet.

Good grief, for those of you reading this thread, and considering coming down here, my house is not a mansion , so if you expect to see that, you will be disappointed. It's a house, and I do have a TV that we can use to watch the game, ELP DO2, we watched the SuperBowl at my house, and I think it was an OK setup.


Sorry I hadn't responded to this thread, I subscribed to immediate notification, but I hadn't received anything

I would not use “probably” as the defining term here, unfortunately.

Aside from one flight for which I did not have to pay, I have not flown at all since November.
