America; Land of Free or Of Freebies? Let us start by saying that, life near or within the border is entirely different from the life far from this fence that serves as the reason of too many cries, anguishes and pains. Reasons and after reasons can be heard to justify every stand coming from the "secarios" of Mexico and the feds who protect the US interest. In the end, one thing is certain. Border is the place where you lost all your rights. It might be human, citizen or civil rights. "Nada" forget about it! You will be glad to meet respectful men in uniform who will politely inform and ask for your permission to search your possessions. The rests they will use their uniforms to coerce and threaten every individual they come across with.Before it will slip my mind,this act of disrespect never happens to everybody. It is common to everybody who got black eyes and hair. Never to any golden blond and blue eyes.A good picture of a "crappy" system motivated by racism and not by critical analysis or by dedication to the expected service. I am a silent witness and recipient within this frame. Every time I drive to Tucson, I have to pass by the scrutiny of the guards in the border crossing. I notice that together with the new structure they built near "Tubac" is the aggressiveness to violate the code of conduct. Everytime I approach the giant white structure of the checkpoint, I am expecting a new drama of foolish questioning brought by underdeveloped "pea brains" standing by the side of the I-19. I found it funny than irritating. I am enjoying it because I always see the big difference of the regards I receive if I am driving with my "gringo" husband beside compared to I am driving alone.If I am with my husband, they just nod their heads and bid us good day but if I am alone, I have to stay for a while to answer at least 3 questions or more. Knowing that answering the officer questions is an option rather than an obligations I do answer anyway to make things faster. However, there are times that answering will not also speedy my pass but would cause for more questioning. Yesterday after hearing the 8 o'clock mass, I decided to drive another 20 miles to pick breakfast in an old Cow Palace near Green Valley. I was stopped in the border crossing for the reason that my car got a alert. I was commanded to stay in their office as the go through my papers and as they dismantle my car into pieces. From where I was seated surrounded by five officers I was seeing 6 border patrols and 2 custom officers inspecting, going and crawling on,in and under my car. I was smiling because they looked a whole bounce of paranoid weirdos who searched in vain. My attention was diverted by the officers near me who struck me with series of questions like, what I am doing here in Nogales, since I am married am I going to take K,L,R (R? whats that?) and so on visa...Crappy questions. The one that had gotten me was i overheard two officers wondering where Phil. is. They thought its near Africa!!!Another asked me "when did you learn to speak English?" whahahahahaha. INTERESTING!!!!Eventually, I had seen one officer dug into the truck of my car. He unfolded a whole bunch of goodies and canned foods for my wolves that I had gotten from Costco last Saturday. They looked at each other and went back to me. To regain their pride one officer told me to "please unload my stocks from the truck when I got home". Obviously, they realized that what caused their sweet to bark in my car was the smell of threats and food coming from my truck. Their might be well trained but it is still who will salivate at the smell of jerkies and threats prepared for the dogs palate. It was one small drama that I am used to. Infact some of the officers faces are already familiar to me since they keep on stopping me every now and then. With modesty, I already knew how to get through them. One sweetest smile and an air of flirting will always prove that they are still those weakling men who will melt down at the sight of thigh and cleavage. I stop asserting my words rather I opt to assert my feminine asset and it works!!!. Is America land of Free? I DOUBT it!!! Is this a Land of Freebies? Absolutely!!! Those who will read this. I knew that You understood what I mean. Literally and figuratively you will see and witness the reality around everyday. Good Day!! |
