There's an uspoken rule of thumb for the women down here in southern Florida, where I live: Don't make eye contact with the Mexicans.
Sounds racist, doesn't it? But let's face it. A lot of them stare at American women. They follow them at times around the grocery store, leer at my daughter and wife, and lady friends, whistle at them, etc.
But how do we know that they are likely illegal mexican immigrants? Because they don't - or won't - talk. Why? Because they can't speak the english language.
Here are just two examples since I moved to southwest Florida. First, let me mention that I was kind of skeptical when my family and friends told me all of this. It turned out that they weren't exaggerating...
A friend's wife went to use a restroom in a restaurant. After waiting for awhile, he got worried and went to check on her. Sure enough, there were two mexicans in the ladies room. One had a knife on his wife, who was pressed against a wall, the other was watching the door. They spoke loudly at him in spanish and since they couldn't understand what he was yelling back, he had to physically remove them.
The second brush with likely illegal mexicans went like this: Two men of spanish-mexican descent tapped me on my shoulder and got in my face in broken english about allegedly stealing a hundred dollar bill from them. They were about to get physical about it - but I don't think realized they chose the wrong person (I'm kind of intimidating). In short, I threw them both out. Several people thanked me as they had been harrassing them as well. The funny part of this story is that the bartender apologized and also thanked me since he fingered me guessing how I would probably respond.
Anyway, we call it Rule#1 in our group of family and friends: Don't make eye contact with the Mexicans, because you never know who is illegal and who isn't.
