werefreeatlast,

Here’s what won’t change…my family has some property there in michoacan. Oh yes, the little house that saw us grow up into adolescence. But today our parents cannot do anything with it. Can’t sell it unless you give it away. The locals “those who remain” basically use scare tactics to get you to sell to the drug lords. One of my parents was tortured last time he went back to “arreglar papeles”. Now it’s becoming our land from inheritance, but how can I do anything? First off Americans can’t own land or not exactly. Second the torture thing, I like my testicles where they are. Third but most importantly is the representatives locally here at the Seattle place are the worst! It took a full year for me to get an approved power of attorney for some silly thing my dad wanted to do. How can that work? The only way is for us migrants to lose it all.
