Hold on here I'd like to know where you got your information. The Houston Chronicle has ZERO articles. Nothing on the net. Is this NEW, like TODAY. Hard to believe the man would do this type of thing. He has toooo many years experience to pull a bone headed stunt like this,, but it is possible.

Gezzz I'd be embaressed if somehow this DIDN't get reported in Houston,, Half the population of Houston speaks Spanish. Maybe my searching abilities need work?

Toasted if True Colombia Consul General Hernan Arizmendi - Houston Lots of years down the tube in the U.S. if true. I see a Colombian residence assignment in his future. Still no links?

Wow. My wife and I are going to the Colombian consulate in Houston tomorrow. Her kids are going to Colombia for 6 weeks and we need to get letters allowing her kids to leave Colombia when it's time for them to go home (i.e here in the US). Shall we ask him how his slaves are doing?

Yeah, Ask I live with-in walking distance, it is easier to walk than to park in the garage, although they do have outside spots.

The only reason I don't go ask is the chance they may FOREVER associate my face with a STUPID question.

Maybe I disguise myself as Geraldo Rivera.

UTC He sent some of the slaves up to Chicago to stay with me, because he knew that they would be safe in my hands. I put them (I will not tell how many)to work upon arrival...just so they would not lose their slave mentality. After all, the good Consul is probably going to want them back eventually.

Well, we checked in with him yesterday and other than those scantily clad women in shackles, I didn't see anything unusual.

Don't ask for whom the bell tolls. Lets give the man a reasonable doubt that these allegations are not true. Until actual evidence of this comes out... it is just a bunch of riled up hot-heads hanging the man out to dry. And in my wife's opinion "just a bunch of hooey!"

SOMETIMES IT HURTS MORE It must hurt more when it comes from your own people living in another country.
Where I live you have alot of Colombian immigrants running small bakeries, body shops, small textile shops, and you wouldn't beleive what they do with their own paisanos. My friend has a 5 month's pregnant Colombiana, and a paisana of her gave her a job in a bakery working everyday 12 hours shifts for a whole month and then when came time to pay she called immigration on her and got her deported.
