noticed preparations for the big gringo bite...
at the police checkpoint at kilometer post 37, about a dozen cops...
first thing in the morning, so wasnt shift change... gee? Why do you
suppose they need a dozen police to check ID's on a two lane road?
I supected ramping up..
Then when I got to the Costa Rica check out, the guy rifled thru my
passport, and made computer entries about my past crossings... more
ramping up....
so today I saw a friend who works as a free lance translator helping
people wade thru the vehicle bureauocracy (several hours worth) and
told him about the law change in May, and he hadnt even heard about
it, and was blown away, as he works with Americans every day, and
estimates 2000 to 3000 living on this end of Costa Rica without
residency, which he felt was 80%-90% of all the Americans living
here...
so basically come May first they are going to start fining thousands
of people a hundred dollars a day for living in their homes and on
their farms... at the same time the US Government is trying to figure
out how to give amnesty to millions of illegal latin aliens,
without getting lynched by jobless mobs of unemployed American
citizens..... basically the Costa Rican government is doing a money
grab of a couple thousand dollars in fees each, or they deport you,
and take your house for fines.. And they have the criteria set to
where the majority of Americans living here cant qualify.....
gee, I hope the American Embassy is ready for this...
I had the honor of being the first person to let the Panamainians Know
what was coming, that they'd likely have people stranded in Panama
who owned houses a few miles away in Costa Rica....
My friend was aghast..... it wont work he said.... But I told him
that the Ticos always have to learn things the hard way, they always
bite the hand that feeds them... its their national specialty....
anyway he warned the guys working in immigration on panama side....
while I was telling him, a friend of mine who is a Tico Cop came up,
and nodded his head when I mentioned them ramping up for it all.......
none of the Americans even want residency... If you are a legal
resident, you have to fill out a request to leave the country, and pay
an added $75 fee, just to go to the next city in Panama to shop....
If you try checking out on your passport without going thru the
hassels you get problems with your legal residency...
all the ticos know is Gringo bite, and my Panamanian friend realized
that the Ticos have really done it this time, when this hits, it
will trash their tourism business and their national reputation ...
yeah, go ahead and deport a couple thousand innocent people,
including women with children born here who cant afford all the
residency fees, take their homes for back fines, and think it wont
affect the national reputation online and in the news enough, to
effectively trash an already dragging bottom tourist industry... and
theres no amnesty.. while the ticos living illegally in the US likely
outnumber us here 100:1 and can get social services, while we cant
even get a telefone line without residency, or having it in a Tico's
name... also many of us resident non-residents employ people, we can
only legally work in our own businesses, none of us take jobs from the
Ticos, and it is enforced, so we have started businesses, and
employ ticos, meaning come May, thousands of Ticos are going to
start getting laid off, because their "medium county" sized, Banana
Republic government wants to twiddle with Americans, Canadians,
Germans, etc. To suck more money out of them, play control trips, and
decide which ones are too "low Rent" to be allowed to live in a
country where the locals still dump their trash and sewage into the
rivers and bays...
yeah, it stinks here, come down for a vacation and check it out!
No, it wont work..... my Panamanian friend was right... he knows
about the Ticos; when you cross this southern border, into Panama,
its like stepping from Nicaragua into the US..... Costa Rica has a
two lane road full of elephant traps, & like he said, the TV crew
came and filmed the difference, its like a pig lot (his words)on the
CR side, and it turns in to a 4 lane highway and thriving business
culture on the other side of the line.. the ticos still use horses
for hauling palm fruit etc. the Panamanians have tractors.... why?
Costa Rican government screwing its own people with incredible import
taxation... its all they know, pass laws to screw people, and let
the pigs, cattle, and thieves run loose in the streets.... if any
movie directors need a proper setting for a Latin corruptocracy, film
here!
Anyway, I like the attitude better in Panama, things hop, in costa
rica its like dealing with steriotypical comedy Latins who are
habitually constipated......
So!, should be fun! especially when the American public gets wind of
it... they'll likely scream bloody murder about proposed Latin
Amnesty..... And open Borders... my advice? just start deporting a
hundred or so ticos for every deported American, cut off the foriegn
aid, and have the State department issue an advisory to potential
tourists, that if they miss a plane, get robbed, (as is so common),
or get sick (no dysentary here! ha!) they had better be prepared to
pay a hundred dollars a day for overstay......
Or they will be kept in the country until they can, and the fines
mounting by the day...
Adios Turismo!
any readers who feel like it should copy this out and send to people
concerned with Latin amnesty in the US.... hey guys, it isnt the
latin people's fault they have had no jobs in their own country....
they have had problematic political systems.... for generations...
while you americans are just now getting the honor of learning what
they have been going thru up close & personal; no jobs in your
country now either..... we are going to have to start calling the
US "Mexico Norte!" from now on... and not for the numbers of poor
latins in search of jobs, but for the yuppies living under
bridges....
I'll give you all a hint; government, is the problem, & not the
sollution.....
what goes around comes around..
