Damn DG You sure know how to depress a person (the pic of the little kid breaks my heart).

You sound like good people. Thanks for sharing the story about your domestic help. The mentality describes some of my "friends" and (sadly) family here in the States. But like you said, people need to place strict limits on their charity.

1cito comments on confusion over airport tax leaving cali for international flight

southern151 I did the MDE to MIA morning flight (American Airlines) last year twice (in Sept and Nov). Both times I waited in line (about 15 minutes) to check in my bags and get my boarding pass. Once at the counter and before they print your tickets they direct you to the counter where to pay your exit taxes. The counter is about 10 yards away and there is usually no line. Once you pay you go back to the ticket counter to get your boarding passes and may have to wait for another customer to be sent off to pay their exit taxes.

Then its off to the security point where they stamp your passport and check your bags for liquids and other no-nos. And they go through all pockets of your carry ons thoroughly. Your bags will be checked once again before you board the plane.

1cito comments on Do As I Say, Not As I Do…….??????

Miguelito, I guess I misunderstood. I was thinking the "I" of "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" (with regards to immigration laws) was referring to the same enity (those who are for tighter immigration).

But I still do not see the hypocrisy. Is the hypocrisy on those PBH posters who are trying stay or find work illegally?

Second round of beers are on me.

Miggy, thanks for pulling the rock . . I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say or maybe I just don't understand your point (English isn't my first language).

"MANY people of the US appear to subscribe to the doctrine of “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” with regards to respect of the immigration laws."

When you say MANY in this statement I took this to mean many want tighter immigration laws for the USA (Do as I say), AND these same people do not respect immigration laws for other countries (Not As I Do). And I was asking for an example of this from a US citizen with respect to immigration laws. Out of all of those "Not As I Do" posts on PBH that you are referring to how MANY corresponding "Do as I say" post will you find?

Thanks for the introduction to the Visa section (its a great section). To return the favor, let me introduce you to the idea that the duration of ones current PBH handle has nothing to do with how long one has been reading the forum. You can thank me later . .

Hypocrisy or is Migs Just Bored? "It occurred to me that MANY people of the US appear to subscribe to the doctrine of “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” with regards to respect of the immigration laws of a country."

I know you are dead wrong to say many. Find one example of someone in the US who is all gung ho for "respect of the US immigration laws" but does not show "respect of the immigration laws" of Colombia or any other country. And don't give me this "PBH posted this" garbage. Most posters on PBH have not stated their stance on US immigration law.

Find anything published by any US government agency encouraging a US citizen to not not show "respect of the immigration laws" of Colombia.
